while the footage may be spectacular, the dialogue is environmentalist
sentimentality at its worst.  The environment may be important but to listen
to this you'd think there was nothing left to ruin.

Some of the footage was taken with the IMAX camera from the space shuttle
I seem to remember a story about one of the crew getting up in the middle
of her sleep shift to film the Himalayas because it was going to be an 
unusually clear day.
