It is clear from the start that "Onze Natuur" is a visual masterpiece. The footage is amazing, a lot of respect for the countless hours that the crew must have spent waiting for that unique 10 seconds that made it into the edit. The quality of the "action" scenes is that of a BBC or NatGeo.
The story takes us through the four seasons, all across Belgium. Chances are that a nature reserve or hiking area in your neighborhood are included. I really liked the diversity of locations covered.
The story itself is that of different species, some reoccurring in the story as seasons progress. Others are just short fragments and mentioned once. This sometimes gives the feeling that there was more to explore; then again, the footage used is amazing and the goal of the movie is not to zoom into a specific species but rather cover "all of our nature".
The voice over by Matteo Simoni is nice; the text is for audiences young and all, don't expect that all jokes are funny for all age ranges ;).
All in all this is an amazing experience. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to discover what lures in our fields, forests and cities when we humans are not there for a moment.
