 Way too Violent July 26, 2008
0 out of 29 found this review helpful
Specatacular views, but way too much footage of animals eating animals. Every segment in the 5 disc collection keys into the fight for survival with preditors capturing and devouring their victims.
Whether slowly or quickly, this is bothersome. I can not deny the reality and rules by which nature works, however, I was unprepared for the way BBC went there and stayed there time and time again. Perhaps a better title for this series would be "Planet Preditor." I bought this in hopes of sharing with my children. Now, I wish I hadn't purchased it.
 Just what's advertised July 25, 2008
I bought the blu-ray version, I'm running it on a Sharp blu-ray DVD player, and it's gorgeous. Exactly what I was expected. The narration is very well suited, the script is on, and the visuals are really compelling.
What you get is a beautiful documentary, scenes, landscapes, a lot of animals, great to look at, very easy to watch. There's no plot. It doesn't grab you. It's not a suspense thriller. Just a tour of natural beauty on earth.
That's what I wanted, that's what I got.
 disappointed July 24, 2008

I purchased this product thinking it would work with our HDTV not knowing I needed a HD DVD, and that it is not compatible with BlueRay either. Probably my fault, but very disappointed.
Stop reading the reviews and buy this now! July 24, 2008
This is the most fantastic nature documentary series ever made. On Blu Ray, it is even better! There is no bonus footage like the DVD set but I have seen it, and it honestly pales in comparison to the actual show. The US DVD version features narration by Sigourney Weaver which leaves something to be desired, in my opinion. Order this version now and enjoy some of the most beautiful wildlife photography you may ever see in your life.
Unbelievable! July 22, 2008
I saw the preview for this series and decided I had to own it for the cinematography alone. After receiving it in the mail, I was not disappointed in the least. The photography is absolutely stunning, and the moments the Planet Earth team were able to capture are simply unbelievable.
Beyond being a great nature series, what I love about owning this boxed set, is it's something I will keep with me for a LONG time and be able to re-watch time and again. Not only is it something that I will be able to enjoy, but it's something that I can show to my kids someday that will be better than all the brain-sucking cartoons that are out these days.
Planet Earth is truly a classic.
