 AWE-INSPIRING July 28, 2008
FunFan (PARIS)
This whole thing is just stunning! br / br /You just have to see these jaw-dropping images to believe them. br / br /It is also a humbling experience for human beings like us. There are a lot of lives goiing on out there without our knowing anything about them. br / br /Hats off to the production team that has conceived and realized this awe-inspiring porject. br / br /Sir David is a great plus as well. His narration convines seriousness with humour that helps us get through each episode and leaves us wanting for more. br / br /Each episode does fall into the recurring predator/prey pattern but it doesn't matter. It is definitely worth the money. br / br /It is one of the best high-def. experience you can every have. br / br /Highly recommended.

Lots of people here arating this box set badly on the grounds that some parts aren't in high-res or not full 1080p. They don't seem to understand that this series was filmed on many many different cameras and was shot in real world environments in many many locations and not in a controlled studio environment. So not all the footage is in full HD or even 720p in some cases. It's as good as you're going to get for some time and besides, it's a great documentary with or without 1080p so stop your whinging.

Watching this release on a Full HD set is, for lack of a better word, astonishing. I watched this series with my jaw open, and at times was actually moved to tears by the stunning beauty of the images of our planet on show here. This is what I invested in Blu ray for, and time and time again, hi def proves not be a marketing gimmick but a genuine next-step experience in home entertainment; the amount of pin-point detail, dimensionality and scale takes you into the images, so that you feel as if you are there, and in this regard Blu ray is involving in a way DVD cannot match. The wonderful thing about Planet Earth on Blu ray is that the stunning image actually makes clear the filmmakers intentions-not necessarily to give an in-depth education, but to remind us of the beauty and awe inherent to our troubled planet, and the vast open vistas, mountains, plains on show here are enough to make anyone remember why our planet is so very special and worth saving. If that isn't reason enough to invest in this set, I don't know what is.
