Customer Reviews

Oh my God
It easy to understand why it took several years for this series to be filmed. On an HD 52" Flat sreen the visuals were abosolutely stunning. I also suggest whoever purchases this product should also consider the Planet Earth disc set. I just couldn'y get over the photography, as well as the in depth knowledge I gained from this series. I highly recommend it.

Planet Earth & The Blue Planet Seas of Life (Special Collector's Edition)
This DVD series has phonomenal footage! It's a great way to learn about our wonderful earth. It also makes you realize that we need to take care of our planet so that we will be able to enjoy these miraculous creations for many years to come. The team of filmmakers did an awesome job of capturing life and wonders of our world that we would never be able to see on our own.

amazing
so far our family has only watched two thirds of the first discs of this series (there are a total of ten discs), and already I can say the whole family enjoys it. (even our 7 year old who whines when we tell him we are going to watch planet earth, and not a re-run of "family guy" for the 20th time)

each segment has jaw dropping shots that make you wonder how in the world they were ever able to film that, and so far at the end of the first two episodes, there is a short segment of "planet earth diaries" that details the planning and effort that went into getting some of the shots.

one more thing to add, I have noticed several questions or comments about whether this series is narrated by david attenborough, or sigourney weaver. this package that we got from the bbc has david attenborough.

I would highly recommend this for anyone who has an interest in nature. it is so easy to develop tunnel vision and get caught up in the daily grind of commuting and working and doing household chores. this reminds us of what an amazing and delicate planet we inhabit.
