Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [HD DVD]

I have always been a fan of nature documentaries but this is definitely the most beautifully captured, composed and presented series I can remember. After Tivoing the series I was annoyed with the distractions that were always onscreen, I decided to buy this to enjoy to its fullest. I highly recommend this to everybody. If you have Blue Ray, definitely take advantage of it.

The DVD has a hard time playing in Belgium (zone problems) (maybe also in the rest of Europe). If its a UK product why the hell do we have these zone problems.

If I pay for something just send me a working product, and all this commercial zone crap should not be of my concern.

This series is so wonderful to watch! Even my 4 year old son is captivated by the beauty and realism of all life on our earth!

This review is meant to be short and sweet! Planet Earth is a great series that scans the globe in search for the most exotic locations and animals ever filmed, in full HD none the less!!!

When I first watched this I was in HD owe! Granted most people who rated this below a 4 are the ones that are very hard on the critiquing. When the cameras pan out for a whole screen shot its hard to say that the picture is stunning, don't get me wrong its still very very good,(the only real reason why i gave it a 4 out of 5) its just the real jaw dropping moments happen when they zoom in on specific things, animals, objects etc.. than you see the magic of HD come alive and you won't be disappointed especially with the colors wow!!

By far shallow seas is one of the better discs in the set. It explores the reefs and watching it with someone who thinks a projection TV looks good is alot of fun, (they couldn't stop saying, omg look at the colors, this is incredible!!).

Overall I am very satisfied with this set. Although the price is somewhat hearty most stores offer it at ($99+tax) unless you can find it online for a deal which would probably be your best bet, this is still a great picture quality show off blu ray that you can enjoy for hours.

**Don't forget that each disc has up to 3 separate areas filmed on it (look at the chapters) That got me nervous the fist time i watched disc 1 it ended at 55mins or so with great plains (kinda boring) and i couldn't find the rest of the disc contents (even though it says it on the disc itself) because when you hit play all it didn't seem to go to the next country/scenes about jungles so i thought it was over. Maybe i should retitle this part Planet Earth for dummies, anyway enjoy!! =)

I bought this because I hear it's great and I was looking forward to watching. However, I bought the HD DVD and it doesn't work in any machine I own. So, unless you know it'll work for you, I'd go for the more expensive, regular DVD set.
