Mark Strong, John Hannah and Lacey Turner stepped out for a new film narrated by Daniel Craig.
Other celebrity guests at the London premiere of BBC Earth's new One Life nature documentary film included Nina Wadia, a heavily pregnant Kate Silverton and model Alice Dellal.
"An amazing film to see with children, this film has taught them more than I ever could about the struggle of life," said Green Lantern star Mark.
Spartacus actor John added: "The film is a true triumph, I could not take my eyes from the screen throughout.
"It really puts our struggles as humans into perspective but also shows that in terms of day-to-day life, animals aren't so different to us."
Former EastEnders actress Lacey had only compliments too. She said: "The humour throughout the film was amazing, something which you just don't find in many nature documentaries. Daniel Craig's narration was sublime."
One Life, which is out in cinemas on July 29, documents the journey all living things take from the moment they are born to the delivery of the next generation.
Daniel has said: "For the filmmakers who spend their entire lives recording beautiful images of planet earth's dwindling wildlife, I have only a sense of awe and a deep rooted respect.
"I am incredibly fortunate to have been given the chance to play a very small part in that

Rupert Grint's gruelling film role
Rupert Grint has revealed that he was kept on his toes during a film shoot in severe weather.
In his first role since Harry Potter, the British star headed to Norway and Sweden to film Second World War movie Comrade, which is directed by Norwegian filmmaker Petter Naess.
"It was filmed in April, in winter, it was freezing, and we were just on a mountain in this really remote part of Norway. It was quite extreme," he recalled.
Despite the tough conditions, Rupert - better known for playing Harry's best friend Ron Weasley in the wizarding saga - found it exhilarating.
"It was good fun as well, it was something completely different, but I really enjoyed it," he continued.
"I play a British, Scouse RAF gunner. It's a great story, because it's a true story. David Cross from The Reader plays one of the Nazi pilots who have to live together to survive in this harsh climate."
The 22-year-old was drawn to the war element in Comrade
"It's a part of history I'm really interested. It's not really a story so much about the violence of war, it's just a story of survival really and these two groups of enemies coming together and forming this friendship," he said.
And he plans to keep switching between bigger Hollywood films and smaller indie movies, such as Cherrybomb and Wild Target. "My future is a bit blurry at the moment. I definitely want to keep acting and finding different roles," he added.

Saoirse Ronan 'I'd love to work with Tarantino
Saoirse Ronan has spoken of her desire to appear in a Quentin Tarantino film.
The Hanna star predicted that the iconic director would be "fantastic fun" to work with and shared her hope of breaking into his established "ensemble" of actors.
"I haven't worked with him, but I'd love to," she revealed to Virgin Media. "I've talked to people who have, and they all say he's made and that it's fantastic fun.
"Because he tends to work with the same actors every now and again, they can read each other. There's always such an ensemble feeling in his films, too. In Kill Bill, for example, of course Uma Thurman is the star but it really feels like a group effort."
Ronan further confessed that her appreciation of Tarantino extended beyond the Pulp Fiction helmer's filmography to his "amazing" physical features.
"He's often in his own films, which I think is great," she gushed. "He's so different-looking with that amazing face."
Ronan has been tipped to star in an adaptation of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's novel The Host.
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 breaks first-day records
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 has broken the all-time record for the biggest box-office gross in one day of opening.
The final instalment of the wizarding franchise collected $92m (£57m) in the US upon its release on Friday, beating previous record-holder The Twilight Saga: New Moon's tally of $72m (£44m) in 2009.
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 raked in an additional $75m (£46m) internationally, to bring its global total close to $250m (£154m). This amount included a first-day opening of almost $15m (£9m) in the UK, the biggest single-day takings ever seen in the country.
The latest Harry Potter also set a new record for midnight screenings, as the $43m (£26m) it collected easily surpassed the $30m (£18m) achieved by late-night shows of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse last year.
"What an incredible beginning for the movie that ends it all," Warner domestic distribution president Dan Fellman commented to Variety.
"Everyone at Warner Bros joins me in congratulating the many people behind the Harry Potter films. We know this is just the start of what promises to be an astounding weekend and a magical summer."
Deathly Hallows: Part 2 took more money in 24 hours than four of the previous seven Harry Potter pictures did over their entire opening weekends, The AP adds. The film's success has been attributed to the increased cost of tickets to 3D showings.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is also tipped to surpass The Dark Knight's opening weekend record of $158m (£97m) domestically.
