“Life’s Greatest Miracle” is a one-hour PBS program on how the human life starts in the womb. Produced circa 2001, it was an updated edition of the ~1983 ground-breaking “The Miracle of Life,” also aired in the U.S. under the auspice of the Nova series.

I’ve watched both DVDs and I’ll compare the two. If you are debating which version to watch, I say it depends on your interest: if you want to see more microscopy photography, get the original “The Miracle of Life.” If you want a better viewing experience, get this one, “Life’s Greatest Miracle.” I give both DVDs 3 stars.

While not as ground-breaking as the original, “Life’s Greatest Miracle” sports higher-definition, more colorful microscopic video images, which are simply amazing. Of course, everyone who’s never seen a large number of sperm swimming around will simply be mesmerized. I couldn’t tell whether the all the video footage of the wiggling sperm was the same as in the original edition, but it seemed to me that here either the sperm were stained more (with chemicals so they stand out against the background, as is done all the time in biology), or the producers somehow increased the contrast. To the viewer, the action (no pun intended!) is more captivating. (In the old edition, images are coarser and less colorful.)

The biggest difference between this edition and the original program is the emphasis of the content. The original edition emphasizes the science part, and there are long sequences of cells dividing and inside looks of the vagina and uterus. This edition focuses on the entire process more, and speeds up and cuts out some of the long microscopic video scenes from the original edition. The story in this edition is weaved better and seems less like a science class as “The Miracle of Life.”

Also, the present edition features updated information as well as some additional video (but not much). Also, there’s more animation to help the viewer understand. The original program tends to get boring and confusing, but things are much more easily understood in this updated volume.

But I only give “Life’s Greatest Miracle” 3 stars because, like the first one, it just doesn’t have enough interesting stuff. Actual microscopic footage occupies perhaps just 1/3 of the total running time, and there’s this unnecessary story of a pregnant couple. What’s more, I couldn’t tell whether some of the “inside the womb” scenes were microscopic photography or computer-rendered graphics, and this troubles me. I prefer “real” images, even if it means staining cells in order to make them look more vivid. Computer-generated stuff is fake, and it’s worst when someone tries to pass it off as real.

In short, “Life’s Greatest Miracle” is an informative and enjoyable program to watch — and you are treated to the commercials that precede PBS’s Nova airing! (Luckily you can forward-skip them.) Whether you are expecting or not, I recommend this, so everyone can appreciate human life more.

If you want a more science-oriented view with more microscopic footage, get the original “The Miracle of Life.” The presentation is drier but you get to see more images that demonstrate how miraculous life is.

I wasn’t sure what the difference was between Nova’s “Life’s Greatest Miracle” and “Miracle of Life” so I visited PBS’s web site. Here’s their description of “Life’s Greatest Miracle”. I hope it helps you choose between the two! (Amazon recommended I purchase both which, upon reading the review, doesn’t seem necessary.)

“A remake of Lennart Nilsson’s world famous film ‘Miracle of Life,’ this completely updated edition tells the inside-the-womb story of human life from conception to birth using the latest technological advances in microscopy and medical imaging.” -pbs.org
