## Description

As befits the BBCs reputation for producing some of the worlds best nature documentaries, the five-disc set Planet Earth is an epic travelogue, focussing on different ecologies and the unique animals that inhabit them. Once again, Sir David Attenborough provides the narration, as the cameras fly across the surface of the earth, zooming in to give us a bugs eye view one minute, zooming out to give us an eagles perspective the next. The BBCs cameramen filmed more than 200 locations, resulting in some truly spectacular footage, much of which has never before been seen--such as the rare sight of an endangered snow leopard hunting in the Himalayas, or great white sharks leaping from the water as they hunt. The creators of Planet Earth endured some of the worlds most hostile environments, from the deepest ocean depths to an Antarctic blizzard to a fetid, cockroach- and bat-infested cave, just to grab a few moments of film; its worth watching the "Making of" shorts that accompany each episode, in order to see just what lengths they had to go to. The three extra episodes here-- Planet Earth: The Future --provide a sobering finale, as Sir David practically pleads with viewers to cherish the animals that we share this planet with, before its too late. --Ted Kord AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE... The makers of The Blue Planet present the epic story of life on Earth. Five years in production, over 2000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, this is the ultimate portrait of our planet. A stunning television experience that combines rare action, unimaginable scale, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures. From the highest mountains to the deepest rivers, this blockbuster series takes you on an unforgettable journey through the challenging seasons and the daily struggle for survival in Earth's most extreme habitats. Using a budget of unprecedented proportions, photography and unique, specially developed filming techniques, Planet Earth takes you to places you have never seen before, to experience sights and sounds you may never experience again

Review: Stunning filming technique, breathtaking images - Before buying it I have red both positive and negative reviews. Most of the negative ones were about the poor quality of video in some parts of the documentary. Yes, there are some parts with noisy image or not so crystal clear. However, in most of the video the image is so sharp that sometimes you may have the feeling of not watching a TV but rather looking out of a window to the surrounding landscape. There is great depth of image and detail. Overall video quality is very high and yes, this is a must for any plasma owner and yes, it can be considered as a standard for video image quality. But there is so much more than image quality here. You will see things you have never seen or imagined before. The strong point is of course the Cineflex consisting of an HD camera mounted on a 5 axes gyrostabilizing system attached to a helicopter which keeps it perfectly steady. You will see a wild beast in close view and then the camera zooms out until you realize you are kilometers away from it and finally you can see a whole mountain. The aerial filming is worth all the money. But there is more: you can see in slow motion a shark in the air, out of the water while catching a seal or you can see on fast forward a flower opening or a mushroom grow or how the colour of the trees changes with the passing of the seasons. And there are many, many more outstanding things to watch and learn. After viewing this extensive documentary you may get an ideea of how big and complex this world is and how small and overated our civilisation is. You may realize that we, humans, the only species capable of altering the enviroment are however just a particle of dust on the evolution scale. The final conclusion: this is a must have, you won't regret buying it, not for one second.
Review: Compelling viewing - These days, excellent TV channels like Discovery and National Geographic, coupled with advances in camera technology and our appetite for documentaries, mean that nature docs are getting a little tedious perhaps. Watching yet another lion soap opera, complete with Disney-style names for each animal character, we could be forgiven for losing interest. Thank goodness then for the BBC's commitment to pushing the envelope and bringing us something truly breathtaking and worthy of our time. The format of this series is well-documented here. But no piece of prose can hope to really convey what's on display in this wonderful piece of natural history. Get this in your "cart" and see for yourself. Apart from the actual footage, which stands on its own in its brilliance, there are two other key aspects which make this a real joy and take it to another level: The first is David Attenborough. His voice is peerless in tone, his comments informative and eloquent in this era of "dumbing-down", and noticeably restrained - he knows that he doesn't have to explain everything when you can see things unfolding in front of your eyes. The second is the "diaries" feature, which gives a "behind-the-scenes" look at some aspect of the filming of each episode. It highlights the difficulties involved and the dedication required (many, many months of patience in most cases) to get that one breathtaking shot, and really adds to the experience. With a wide-ranging selection of flora and fauna in each episode, there is a huge variety of creatures and features to keep you glued to the screen. Everyone will have their favourite habitat - for me "Caves" was the most mysterious, and therefore the most amazing. But all contain revelations. At this price versus running time, the Box Set is tremendous value for money. You can't lose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best documentary ever made - and here's why.
*by D***S on 28 December 2014*

Probably the best documentary ever made. During the first episode, I was doubtful about the content. The topic shifted every few seconds, never focusing on one animal long enough to say anything of any educational value. However, after a few episodes, it all became clear. This series has a massive scope. As the name suggests, its a documentary about the entire planet. As the series goes on, it returns to topics briefly introduced in previous episodes. Its nice to revisit what we only got to glimpse previously. The series ends with two full length documentaries on only one animal each - specifically desert lions, and specifically snow leopards. Well chosen, as those were the animals that intrigued us most on their five minute slots in previous episodes. All the information from the series becomes relevant and involving. This series is a structural and educational marvel. The photography is the other aspect of this that makes it the best ever made. Its so well done you could cry. I'm glad I bought the HD-DVD version, as it just leaves your jaw hanging in disbelief. This series was made for HD-DVD, (although its out on Blu-Ray too nowadays.) The image is the clearest and most detailed I've ever seen, and what better way to showcase its HD credentials than with massive panoramas of the planet, flocks of birds a billion strong, closeups of birds of paradise revealing every feather, mountain ranges where you can actually sense the enormity scale, etc. Its like being there. If you ever get the chance to see it on HD-DVD, ho wow, you just have to do it. Yes. Probably the only nature documentary which would've pulled crowds in at cinemas just like Hollywood blockbusters. It was so highly rated for a reason.
