There is fragility in the beauty we see. The picture drives home the need to safeguard it. It is, after all, our home.

Fulfills its inspirational function with screen-filling, soul-filling views of the main space station in the story-the one that harbors all our lives and hopes.

It's appealing to adults and accessible to younger viewers. And it delivers an environmental message that is strong and serious while remaining encouraging and optimistic. That's important to hear. The rest is just amazing to watch.

A Beautiful Planet is yet another worthwhile film from IMAX, but if you're a cool auntie or uncle out there, maybe do your civic duty and bring the kids to see a movie both entertaining and convincing.
