 Beautiful and educational September 9, 2008
One has to appreciate the time and effort that must have been put into making this series. The footage is breathtaking and the narration is informative. I am very well pleased with my purchase. It is a great reminder of the awesome beauty of nature amidst the busyness of our lives, especially for those living in a concrete jungle. Raw, and quite artistic at times, it is a true and accurate documentary...
Fantastic, amazing September 9, 2008
Amazing in every way, well worth the money you are paying for. Made with such care and passion, you will want to share it with others to see.
 Top Notch Collection but has 1080p difficulties September 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this collection on DVD a while ago and after upgrading my equipment to 1080p LCD/PS3 and 7.1 audio I had to have this on Blu-Ray more than ANYTHING in my blu ray/dvd collection. I had been hooked on this series since the very first time I saw it. David Attenborough is an amazing narrator and a perfect match for this series. The footage is incredible and captures the essence of nature unlike any other wildlife series I have ever seen.
I do have one complaint about the Blu Ray release of this series (Why I only gave it 4 stars) in that it has a great deal of problems with 1080p playback in certain scenes. The flickering of dark backgrounds on light foregrounds such as during the angel falls scene during "freshwater" is unacceptable especially for videophiles. It is not as great as I would have wished for because the flicker takes away from what would be one of the most remarkable scenes ever captured in video history. I have a top of the line home theater system with a samsung 46" LCD running the 1080p content from a PS3 40GB with monster cable connecting it all. I contacted BBC america because I thought I had a defective disc set, which amazon happily replaced for me. It turns out that BBC released an official statement that because of filming coniditions, High Definition video capture was hindered, or not even used at all. It is understandable, but disheartening nonetheless for us looking for the ultimate viewing experience with this collection, hence the reason for buying another copy on Blu ray.
Anyways, if you don't mind visual artifacts from time to time or it just doesn't bother you regardless, this collection is abolsutely a must for any blu ray collection. Some claim that they do not experience this problem, but I am hard pressed to believe it because BBC admitted that the artifacts exist regardless of the equipment you are going to try to view it with.
Overall, Hats-off to BBC for making this series. It will cease to amaze you every time you watch it! and for the price on amazon, it can not be turned down!
Planet Earth - The Complete BCC Series [Blu-ray] September 6, 2008
This is a film for all ages. It reflects the beauty of all life on planet Earth in brilliant, vibrant, illuminating colors. The animal world (in air, land, and water)in many ways, replicates the nature and nurture of mankind.
