Sameer 'Planet Earth' is one of the most awesome nature documentaries. They show stunning videos of Arctic, Mountains, Caves, Deserts, Plains, Jungles, Forests, Seas, Ocean deep etc etc. This superb documentary has the superb narrator David Attenborough !!
jamariana What do I consider when I rate an episode of "Planet Earth"? The narration (David Attenborough may as well be God), the quality of the cinematography or scenery captured (11/10), the musical composition that gives John Williams a run for his money, or the truly intriguing glimpses into the lives of other animals? If so, "Planet Earth" is pure magic on all fronts. I'm pretty sure I cried during the first episode. I love watching "Planet Earth". I've seen the series maybe half a dozen times from start to finish. I especially love watching it in a library when everyone else is supposed to be studying because at least then people consider it to be entertainment, when otherwise they might ask me why I watch a nature documentary series in my free time (certainly not the sentiment in the United Kingdom, where we religiously watch Attenborough's nature shows, but elsewhere I have encountered inquisition over my watching of documentary programs). Anyway, the show is amazing. Truly. I have only great things to say about the show as a whole, so watch it.
Dylan-Potter While not quite the superb feel of Life of Mammals, this is a very well-made documentary. Travels around the Earth and films something like never before. From Pole to Pole is an awesome beginning, and displays the best scenes upcoming, without showing too many great moments. Mountains is high adventure, where scenes are more thrilling because if predators don't get you, then the fall will. The fresh water episode shows an amazing life in the rivers, such as piranhas and river dolphins. The caves episode is a thrilling travel down into the caves of earth, the amazing underground world. Deserts shows how life survives in the remote worlds, in this hard land called the desert in a fascinating exploration. Ice Worlds shows the coldest environments, in the show's peak. Great Plains is my 2nd favourite, with so much action, thrills, an exciting episode. Jungles is a truly exciting look at the rain forests, with monkeys, snakes and many more. Shallow Seas shows the waters of true fascination. My 3rd favourite is soon after this, but first my 4th favourite Seasonal Forests is an examination of forests and some exciting creatures. Then is the truly weird Ocean Deep, starring an array of strange and different species. I can't get over how strange the species of this really are. Vampire Squid, and many things with weird names and weird bodies/lives that I am amazed by, in an epic conclusion. An epic series, my 2nd favourite Attenborough after life of mammals. WATCH IT!
johnnyfry2 Easily a 10 out of 10.I saw this video at a local video store three years ago and I knew I had to have it. I mentioned to my wife that it would be a great Christmas present (hint hint) and it had to be in Blu-Ray as such a huge undertaking needed to be appreciated. Boy was I right to pick this as a gift.I just decided to re-watch the series and I definitely have a greater appreciation for it the second time around. Quite simply every single objective viewer of this series will express many "wow" moments. Some of the scenes are difficult to forget and have never been captured before, certainly not with such clarity. The effort that must have been exerted to provide such images on DVD had to be daunting.Do yourself a favour and spend the extra few dollars and buy the DVD in high definition, it is a keeper. Whether for educational purposes or the awe inspiring imagery, it is a series you will watch more than once, and you will want to show others as well. No matter who you are, there are many scenes on this DVD that you have never seen before and they will amaze you.
