That's just a hint of the marvels on display. Accompanied by majestic orchestral scores by George Fenton, every episode is packed with images so beautiful or so forcefully impressive (and so perfectly photographed by the BBC's tenacious high-definition camera crews) that you'll be rendered speechless by the splendor of it all. You'll see a seal struggling to out-maneuver a Great White Shark; swimming macaques in the Ganges delta; massive flocks of snow geese numbering in the hundreds of thousands; an awesome night-vision sequence of lions attacking an elephant; the Colugo (or "flying lemur"--not really a lemur!) of the Philippines; a hunting alliance of fish and snakes on Indonesia's magnificent coral reef; the bioluminescent "vampire squid" of the deep oceans... these are just a few of countless highlights, masterfully filmed from every conceivable angle, with frequent use of super-slow-motion and amazing motion-controlled time-lapse cinematography, and narrated by Attenborough with his trademark combination of observational wit and informative authority. The result is a hugely entertaining series that doesn't flinch from the predatory realities of nature (death is a constant presence) without being off-putting.
At a time when the multiple threats of global warming should be obvious to all, let's give Sir David the last word, from the closing of Planet Earth's final episode: "We can now destroy or we can cherish--the choice is ours." --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray]
IM GLUED TO MY TV!!! I can't get enough of this show! It is truly one of the best documentaries ever. Hands down. I think Steve Irwin would be proud. <
> <
>Now I haven't watched the Blu-ray Version. I do have a Samsung DLP HDTV with 1080P resoltion. I have been watching the series on Discovery HD Theater. I am blown away! <
> <
>I watch everything on High def. 1080 or nothing!!! And by far, this is the best HD programming I have seen. I would give ESPN second, and CBS HDTV third. <
> <
>Look if you are fortunate to have a PS3 or Blu-ray player and a 1080P or 1080i TV, YOU MUST GET THIS!
Perfect series....with one very minor flaw
First off, let me say Thank you to Amazon for clarifying that the great David Attenborough is the narrator for this series. No Attenborough would have meant no purchase on my part. Simply put the most amazing documentary on life and animals and the world around us that I have ever seen. The clarity is simply breathtaking(and that was on my tv brodcast which was in 720P...the HD transfers are in 1080p!!!!).A huge tahnak you to the creators and producers for doing this for people like myself and many others who care deeply about the world around us.
<
> My one minor complaint has to do with the fact that on the HD transfers, there is absent the supplemental material that is present on the standard defintion release. There is no 110 minutes of behind the scenes footage of what took place on these excavations to these wonderous places or interviews with the people, Attenborough or anyone for that matter. The other special feature not found on either the Blu-Ray or HD-DVD transfer is Planet Earth: The Future, which is a 150 minute documentary(Shot entirely in high defintion mind you) which chronicles how the whole series was created, and how we can continue to preserve our earth so that we may continue to have wonderous documentaries like this for our children's children. Finally, amazingly there are charging the HD customers around $25 MORE for a product that has LESS content than on the standard defintion release.
<
> Otherwise highly reccomended presentation that is extremely addictive and immeasureably sensational from the first scene to the last. Its simply amazes me the beauty of God's creations.

Just fantastic! You'll watch over and over again
I was lucky enough to watch this series whilst living in England... every week my wife and I would stop whatever we were doing and sat down an watched. Photography is stunning and the research is great. Get this and remember why sometimes TV is worth watching!! Just makes me wish we had the full bbc here in the US (no bloody bbc world!)

>Get it in high definition if you can play it. I've watched all the episodes in "standard" (Standard UK TV systems is between American "standard" and HDTV) and a few in HD. HD and the quality of the photography in this show makes a stunning combination.
