Product Description David Attenborough Directors: Alastair Fothergill
Amazon.co.uk Review As befits the BBC's reputation for producing some of the world's best nature documentaries, the five-disc set Planet Earth is an epic travelogue, focussing on different ecologies and the unique animals that inhabit them. Once again, Sir David Attenborough provides the narration, as the cameras fly across the surface of the earth, zooming in to give us a bug's eye view one minute, zooming out to give us an eagle's perspective the next. The BBC's cameramen filmed more than 200 locations, resulting in some truly spectacular footage, much of which has never before been seen--such as the rare sight of an endangered snow leopard hunting in the Himalayas, or great white sharks leaping from the water as they hunt. The creators of Planet Earth endured some of the world's most hostile environments, from the deepest ocean depths to an Antarctic blizzard to a fetid, cockroach- and bat-infested cave, just to grab a few moments of film; it's worth watching the "Making of" shorts that accompany each episode, in order to see just what lengths they had to go to. The three extra episodes here--Planet Earth: The Future--provide a sobering finale, as Sir David practically pleads with viewers to cherish the animals that we share this planet with, before it's too late. --Ted Kord

DVD SET September 3, 2010 Esther Delivery excellent. DVD given as present to friend. Friend said DVD set very good.
Brilliant quality! September 2, 2010 Ben Got blu-ray player on my laptop and decided to give something a shot, heard that planet earth, while only 1080i rather than the superior 1080p, was the best you could find, and since I got it on sale at a pretty decent price, i'd say if you see it on sale, it's definatley worth a grab!
Simply superb. August 30, 2010 rossuk (London, single Christian, UK) What made this series good was the stunning aerial photography. It is mainly about life in different geographic places, caves, deserts, jungles etc. It also features quite a few creatures close to extinction. Maybe Planet Earth will be the only place that our grand kids will see these creatures.
Excellent blu-ray! August 30, 2010 Eduardo Lima (Portugal) The series is excellent, covering every aspect of our planet Earth.
The blu-ray has HD and SD material, however, in the majority of times I was very impressed with the picture quality. I own a Panasonic 42G20 plasma and the picture is perfect!
What Can I Say It's Just Delightful August 28, 2010 Goldilocks (Lincolnshire UK) Thoroughly enjoyed it. Even my little grandaughter was spellbound. What a wonderful world. I shall watch it again and again.
