Product Description
David Attenborough

Amazon.co.uk Review
Not only is Planet Earth one of the most jaw-dropping, ambitious, nature documentaries the BBC has ever produced, it’s now taken on another role: as a superb demonstration disc for the strength of and Blu-ray.

Spread over a good ten hours, the series charts life and nature in dozens upon dozens of differing locations around the earth. Diligently and warmly narrated by Sir David Attenborough, Planet Earth calmly goes close in on its subject matter when required, and then pulls out some stunning perspective shots that are simply breathtaking. It’s hard to come up with the right superlatives to do the photography on the programme any kind of justice, and that it’s married to such fascinating subject matter is all the better.

And if you think the original broadcast of Planet Earth was something special, or you were gobsmacked by the picture quality on DVD, just wait until you see it in 1080i HD glory. Particularly some of the broader shots here are all but without parallel, and it’s a real reward for those who have invested ahead of the crowd in high definition technology.

Presented over five discs, and matching wonderful content to spot-on visual presentation, Planet Earth is now not just a landmark in nature documentary film making. It’s also a chartermark of quality for just what HD DVD and Blu-ray can offer. A stunning release, in more than one sense. --Jon Foster

5 out of 5 stars The Definitive Earth Documentary   July 25, 2010
Luis Felipe
Great BD box, amazing image and sound and the most complete and abrangent Earth docummentary i have ever seen.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome! Fast Shipping to USA   July 23, 2010
Alan R. Christensen (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Unlike DVDs, blu rays work anywhere. It was a lot cheaper to order this from England than pay the U.S. price and it works great. Shipping to the States was MUCH faster than expected.

Box says that video quality is 1080i. Some claim that it plays in 1080p, but I can't verify this. But either way, it looks great!



5 out of 5 stars STUNNING   July 19, 2010

It's amazing to realise that some of the scenes in 'Planet Earth' AREN'T computer generated, that they actually exist somewhere out there on this planet.

This series has it all, from the first ever intimate footage of snow leopards in the wild, to aerial footage revealing the strategy of a pack of hunting dogs; and from birds-of-paradise and their surreal ritual dances, to a pack of hunting sea snakes.

There is hilarious footage of a would-be rapist tree-frog trying to break up a mating couple, as well as more tender shots of pumas and polar bears teaching their young ones to hunt. One of the most eerie sequences features lions and elephants fighting at night around a waterhole. The sight of a pack of lions bringing an elephant down is unexpected and amazing.

Some of the habitats themselves are surreal, ranging from oceanic abysses populated by 'vampire squid' and other Lovecraftian organisms, to a hundred metre high mound of bat droppings, which is home sweet home for millions of cockroaches.

Each episode focuses on a different kind of environment (mountains, tropical forests, deserts etc.) and each features a mini-documentary at the end, revealing how the filming took place. I was amazed at the length some of the filmmakers went to, ranging from extreme tedium to extreme danger, with moments of humour in between.

'Planet Earth' is a truly stunning series, and reveals some of the majesty and infinite variety of the natural world.

great set. every minute watching the series is worth it. the series does a decent job of covering many aspects of nature while maintaining its appeal by focusing on the more spectacular parts of it.


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and educational   July 16, 2010
JD
I had heard so much about this series that I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it at this price. I must agree with so many other reviewers who are amazed at the the brilliant visual displays. It's also very educational.
