"La Palma" or the tsunami of nonsense

I was wondering for a long time whether should I write about this series. In the age of instant streaming and abundance of critics, one opinion less would not change anything.

But then I realized - why not? What makes my voice less relevant than the others?

Volcanoes - The Fires of Creation (2018)

 

This was a short documentary, with annoying narration. That's why I am weary of docus that are shown on some festivals etc. because they are so personal. And I don't care about it. Give me numbers, data, facts. I grew up with nature documentaries where sir Attenborough was giving the info on how long the flamingos' legs are. I want to learn something and it's not how the narrator felt, or pondering on flying bag as the meaning of life.

But oh well, some screenshots are nice.

BBC South Pacific 4/6: Ocean of Volcanoes (2009)

In this episode we had many many islets and atolls that were once domineering volcanoes and now they are slowly sinking under the waves. 

There was also a marvelous scene of penguins swimming just under the surface filmed from below the whole and they truly looked like a flying squadron of tiny fighters. Surreal.
