5.0 out of 5 stars A film of enourmous proportions that shows the majesty and mystery of our planet
It is hard to find a starting point in reviewing a film series that has set such a high standard of achievement. I frequently found myself pausing, rewinding and replaying multiple segments of each eposide, fascinated with the extent to which these expert filmmakers went to capture such amazing footage. What sets this "nature documentary" apart from all that have come...

3.0 out of 5 stars This Version is Missing Content!
A friend of mine showed me this series on DVD. I was so impressed I couldn't wait to purchase the Blu-Ray version and watch it at 1080p resolution. It turns out that not every scene is filmed in high definition, which is understandable given the conditions of some of the filming. What REALLY disappointed me about this version, however, is that much of the content is...

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular!!, Dec 10 2007
By 
This series is an immaculate collection of rare sights throughout the world. With David Attenborough's perfect narration, the Planet Earth crew takes us to places where we can never visit. Viewers would be stunned by the majestic sceneries, beautiful or bizarre. Moreover, the combination of a great soundtrack and David Attenborough's voice creates a story-like atmosphere for this nature film. Everyone would appreciate the immense amount of effort being put into this production. This series is worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent almost beyond belief!, Oct 6 2007

Alibaba (Gorleston-on-Sea, England) - See all my reviews
Watching and owning this set of DVDs gives me such a sense of fulfilment and pride. Pride as a Christian; these programs capture the species and colours of the world that reflect their creation by a power far greater than any science fiction movie will ever demonstrate. The usefulness of this product will last as long as children will ask questions. Although watching these DVDs from my Canadian home, pride as a reflection of British quality film making. Yes, I know Discovery Channel was involved but the fact that the BBC, and David Attenborough (Bless him!), have produced such a quality piece of work that is absolutely world class shows how modern entertainment doesn't have to be conceived in Hollywood. When you watch this invite the neighbours round so they don't complain about the volume of the perfectly matched music!

Most obviously a good investment! Educational for both younger and older audiences, with amazing cimeatography and the "comics" of David Attenborough. Everyone should be forced to watch this series as with the declining status of our earth, we need to all learn to apprechiate our blue planet more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Planet Earth, Feb 9 2009
This review is from: Planet Earth: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Viewing this DVD is like seeing the world through the eyes of a child again. Fascinating. Enthralling. Captivating. We realize how little we really do know about the world around us, and yearn to know more. Extraordinary film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Planet Earth the complete series, Dec 10 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
BBC and Attenborough - immediately it bespeaks QUALITY! and here one could exhaust their vocabulary of superlatives.

It's barely possible and highly unlikely that anyone will be able to equal the magnificence of stunning scene after scene presented here! Not even the many people who created this!

Another viewer mentioned the breath-taking segment on the snow leopards, their luxuriant fur almost comes out of the screen at you like 3D.

If your budget necessitates sacrificing something else to purchase this - make the sacrifice and reward yourself and your loved ones with something they will want to see again and again.

This BBC DVD is amazing.
Having watched the series on TV it's even better now I've watched the extras on how they got the footage.
