This is by far my favorite nature documentary. Sir David Attenborough narrates this series in a charismatic way that is simply the best.

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.
What's great about it: Attention to detail
What's not so great: N/A

No Sigourney Weaver is a good thing

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
What's not so great: None

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
What's not so great: none
