 PLANET EARTH 'DIARIES' April 18, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I've seen most of this series on BBC TV in the UK - it is absolutely stunning. It's a pity that the HD/Blu-Ray versions don't include the 'diaries' (10 to 15 minutes each) because many of these are very entertaining in their own right - some feature very dry and understated humour from the cameramen and other crew members. I do accept, though, that this may well be a minor consideration for people who intend to buy either of these versions.

I need some help with this. I currently do not have an HDTV. Which DVD should I buy? Should I buy the HD-DVD so in the future when I have an HDTV it will be a better picture, but will that play okay on a non HDTV???
Or just buy a regular DVD. This is an amazing series!!!
Planet Earth --- What a Wonderful World! April 18, 2007

I've watched all 11 episodes through BBC. Believe it or not, It's the best documentary I've ever watched.(maybe also the best in the next few decades!) Truly amazing from every aspect, from the gorgeous shots taken from over 200 locations on our planet to the spectacular Narration from David Attenborough!
I highly recommended the standard DVD version because of its supplementary materials which is somehow not included in the Blu-ray or HDDVD version.
You may wonder is there any differences compared to the other many many documentaries focused on our earth, I can guarantee it is full of innovation humanity and surprise and it will not let you down.

With series like the blue planet and life on earth David Attenborough and the BBC were always pushing boundaries and striving to capture the attention of the audience. The problem is that many of the new adience now watching T.V are used to the 'blink and you'll miss it' fast editing style of both television and film today. With this in mind 'Planet Earth' moves at a far quicker pace than any comparable documentary before it. First impressions are that the BBC have 'dumbed down' but at closer inspection this series has as much to offer as any before it with a wealth of fascinating information. But lets be honest, we want some stunning pictures to watch and thats where this series scores again and again. dolphins 'surfing' a beach for lunch, a sandstorm of biblical proportions sweeping across a desert, caves of stunning beauty and size along with the odd little creatures that live within them and a thousand other amazing creatures and places that we are shown, have explained and then are whisked off to the next location/ creature to marvel at. In truth it's something of a visual theme park ride but thats no bad thing because at no point is the quality diminished, its just that no section is allowed to outstay its welcome.
For me though the crowning glory is that the BBC have at last caught up with technology and produced this in hi-def. Now I know thats old hat for you lot but over here we have not long caught on to Hi-def, and how the picture here shines, if you have the telly for it then this will blow your socks off as the picture is outstanding.
Sound is respectable but a little subdued on the whole. The extras vary according to which version you buy but are really one or two extra documentaries,( I guess bloopers and gag reels aren't appropriate here!),.
This is a major leap forward for what could easily become a bit of a stale genre. If you have already seen it then you have probably pre-ordered your copy,(if only to hear it without Ms. Weaver reading from a script!), but if you have not seen this then believe me you will love it. Buy with confidence, this is what documentaries should all look like from now on.
un orgullo de venezuela para el mundo April 16, 2007

sinceramente no lo he visto pero el trailer empieza con unos movimientos de camara increibles con el SALTO ANGEL DE VENEZUELA, si utilizaron este lugar para presentar una serie de la BBC y que escogieran una parte de Venezuela de todo el planeta tierra me hace sentir orgulloso.
Si empieza asi no me imagino como sera el resto de la serie.
Orgullo de Venezuela para el mundo.
