Worth every penny! Paired with my new Panasonic Blu-ray it really takes advantage of my 52" 1080p LCD to bring spectacular images to our home. I would HIGHLY recommend this DVD
Extraordinary visuals, unclear narrative, food chain reality

Reviewer: Mark Ohalloran
Planet Earth does present the most extraordinary visual imagery we've ever seen. Truly superlative!
Unfortunately, the narrator's voice quality and accent require us to strain, at times, to follow him. Thus, the 4 stars instead of 5.
Note to parents: this is not a Bambi-Disneyfied production. In almost every segment, some old or weak animal gets eaten by its natural predator. Welcome to the food chain. If you are hoping to see peace throughout the world in the animal kingdom, you'll have to buy Disney, instead. The reality, which they capture incredibly, is that everything needs lunch, and they are not all vegetarians.
This should be a part of every educated family's library.

Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray]- This film certainly had its moments and was extremely beautiful in 1080p high definition. I consider this a good demo for Blu Ray DVD technology. However, aside from the scenes of obvious and extreme beauty, there were scene after scene of predators killing helpless prey. I just didn't enjoy that material and I would not permit my grandchild to watch it. Then, once the killing sprees were over I found myself literally watching the grass (lands) growing in time lapse photography.
This film contained scene after scene of animal violence (edited, granted) and then placid scenes of watching the grass grow. I don't think this movie is what everyone cracks it up to be and I think they are being overly impressed by the ultra-clear picture, not the content. Anyhow, that's my opinion. I laid down my $60 dollars already.
