This is my first Blu-Ray video after we got our large screen HDTV with blu-ray player package. Even kids enjoyed watching this video with us. The views are awesome, and sound quality is very good too. Kids tend to care more on our mother earth after watch this video. Highly recommend.
What's great about it: Awesome Clarity & Definition

This series takes the viewer to a new world that they wouldn't expect is their own. The amount of time to capture never-before-seen species on film is just impressive. The clarity of everything, the in-depth narrations, and the immersive cinematography puts the viewer right into world he/she is watching. I could not have been more impressed even if I had gone to some to the fantastic sites that they filmed or if I saw the many differenst species up close. For an educational film, this hits the ball out of the park, and out of the atmosphere. Its just so impressive, nobody watching would complain that they're learning something about wildlife.
What's great about it: Unparalleled Cinematography - Brilliant in HD

This is a must have for all Blu-Ray owners. It's the original version, not the US tv release. Great pictures and a learning experience for your family. Some scenes are graphic for children (animals eating prey). Overall highly recommend it for all! Don't pay over $70 and at times can find it for $55, yes even on Blu-Ray!!
What's great about it: David Attenborough's commentary

If you were only to buy one Blu Ray DVD ever, this should be it. The photography is unbelievable, it is educational, and it gives you the chance to see and experience wildlife not only that you personally may never see, but that may become extinct in your or your children's lifetimes (like blue whales and snow leopards). I got my Blu Ray player for Christmas in 2008 and the Planet Earth DVDs more than any others I've purchased really demonstrate the awesome picture capabilities of the player. Planet Earth is highly recommended.
What's great about it: The photography is awe-inspiring. From satellite shots of the earth to unbelievable close-ups of land and sea creatures
What's not so great: The occasional predator/prey catch shots might be too intense for some; they are brief though

Absolutely everything about this series is EPIC and it only gets better on bluray. The picture and sound are perfect. Everything becomes a thousand times clearer with the right setup. I actually get chills watching this because you are right there with the camera crew and the animals. The only problem I had with it, and its not even that big of a deal, the bluray version is narrated by David Attenbourough and not Sigourney Weaver. Really though, this is a must have for your collection. Start your bluray collection with this series.
What's great about it: Picture and sound are perfect. You are there!
What's not so great: Not narrated by sigourney weaver, Instead narrated by david attenborough.

This is how you were meant to experience your HD TV. Standard Definition does not do this series justice. One of the most amazing things I have ever spent 8 1/2 hours watching.

Just bought my copy about an hour ago. I've been looking for this blu-ray documentary for a while now and I finally got it. Boy, I can't wait to get off from work this evening. I've been reading almost all the reviews on here and they all been positive. I might need to come up with a story (lie) so I can leave work earlier. lol.......
P.S.
Anyone knows, i there's a blu-ray documentary called. 'Amazing Animal Events" in store's? If so, you all might want to add that to your blu-ray dvd collection asap. I know I will once I find it!

i love this series and only bought it on bluray because it was on sale $10 more than regular dvd. the high def is awesome but in my viewpoint, it doesnt have much rewatch value. i dont see me putting this in to watch several times like i do with any of my tarantino flicks. but i shouldnt complain for i got it at a screaming deal and it took a few people in the store to locate the last copy for me.
