Summary: Breathtaking!
Comment: I got this DVD series as a gift for my boyfriend. I have never been big on other outdoor type shows before and didn't really know much about Planet Earth besides that my boyfriend wanted it. After receiving it, we watched several parts of the series together. I was hooked! The time lapsing is amazing! You really get a sense that you are seeing something so rare, something special. They did a great job with this series and even explain to you how the camera footage was obtained. This is by far one of the best things I have ever purchased from Amazon!

Summary: Wasn't Captioned Originally
Comment: When it first came out, I was completely thrilled to buy it. Got it home and it wasn't captioned. Being hard of hearing, this is a big problem. Frankly, I couldn't believe that the BBC (purchased through Discovery Channel) would release something without captioning. I went to Discovery Channel's site and complained about it on a post -- and would you believe they never posted my comment? Completely file 13'd it. No reply ... nothing.
So that's why they get a bad review a year later. I don't trust Discovery Channel now.

Summary: Buy the discovery channel version, instead!!
Comment: I watched the recent "Planet Earth" series on the Discovery Channel and wanted to get the DVD, so I bought this product. Unfortunately, this is a completely different "Planet Earth" product that was shot for the BBC and it doesn't feature the astounding high definition photography and imagery from the Discovery Channel version.
I returned this version and bought the better one at [...].

Summary: Do not like Attenborough narration
Comment: I was very disappointed over the fact that David Attenborough narrates these discs, as I very much liked Sigourney Weaver's delivery much better. I see other reviewers felt the opposite of me.
Other than my personal preference on narrator, I agree this is one of the finest documentaries ever made in the history of TV.
I gave this 1 less star due to the narration issue. All else makes this a 5-star rating.

Summary: Planet Earth - Blu-ray
Comment: Planet Earth Blu-ray is an incredible viewing experience. I highly recommend it for all viewers.
