Yes this is not the Discovery Channel version, however this is just as good and in some areas better. The discovery channel does not take you in depth in some of the ocean and sea life voyages that BBC does here. For what it's worth, reading the amount of time and I'm sure hard work that BBC spent, coming up with what they have here, is something to appreciate. Definitely work the money. Picture quality is fantastic and the narration is great to listen to. It's amazing what life is out there, and you don't even know it.

This is the ORIGINAL BBC version! Narrated by the original WRITER Sir David Attenborough. This version is actually BETTER than the US Discovery channel's version. I had the Discovery's version, and I had to return it and get this one. David's narration, altho with quite a bit of English accent, is much more lively than Sigourney's script reading. In respond to [This is not the TV version - that is a different one - PLANET EARTH by the Discovery channel is the good one, this one is narrated by somebody else. I thought i was getting the good TV version.... guess not.]
What's great about it: Narrated by Sir David Attenborough

Planet Earth is by far the best looking video that I have seen, period. The production is top notch, and every scene looks stunning. Its a great series to show what your Home theatre setup can do performing at its best.
What's great about it: Incredible picture, great documentary

Planet earth covers so many topics in nature that most people forget about, global warming and its effects, animals in their habitats, etc. I would recommend this dvd to anyone interested in the world beyond, and is also looking for something to share with their family. overall great purchase!
What's great about it: The quality and depth of material

I thought this documetary was great when I first watched it on TV, but its absolutely stunning seeing it on High Def Blue Ray. There are a few scenes that will simply take your breath away and you will find yourself asking, "how in the world did they get this footage?" My jaw dropped and if it weren't a documentary, I'd think it was special affects when they captured the scene of seals swimming in the ocean (I don't to spoil it so i'll leave it at that). The makers claimed it took them 10 years in the making, and I believe them.
The only bad part is every episode ends with a little lecture on Global Warming, which is a bit annoying. Can't a person just enjoy a film without it getting political?
What's great about it: Terrific HD experience, probably the best nature film produced
What's not so great: Every episode ends with a global warming lecture

This series has easily been the best purchase I've made since picking up my Bluray player. Although movies look great,the Discovery channel was MADE for high def, the picture is extremely sharp and clear. I'm still in awe every time I watch an episode
What's great about it: wonderful movie, great video
