While this was a wonderful production, dont be fooled into thinking it is the one on tv currently. It is supposedly the same production, but with David Attenborough narrating and some segments have been renamed, it has also been reported that the Discovery channel version has been edited for time and content, if you want the new one, wait for the Discovery Channel release sometime in May....The new one is done with Sigourney Weaver, and is updated with Planet Earth the Future as seen on the Discovery Channel.....its worth having both, but make sure this is the one you want! Not sure what other changes there might be or what other differences, the broadcast here was also done in a different order...wickopedia has a great explanation! Hope this helps!
And as we keep watching and are filled with awe and wonderment that we're lucky enough to live on this planet, we begin to appreciate quietly in our hearts how we need to change today to ensure that we save our planet. That is what my daughter felt on her own, she asked me why we were not doing more to save our natural world and I did not have any good answers. The last 3 episodes, Planet Earth: The Future delve deeper into these issues, which i haven't had a chance to see yet.
This is going to be a classic in the way that Disney's Fantasia was back in 1940.Fantasia created the mold for blending music and movie magic and Planet Earth creates the mold for blending high definition filming and conservation education. Brilliant! I like that the narration in this version is NOT Sigourney Weaver.The BBC version features a British man's voice, David Attenborough . The US version (with Weaver narrating) is not yet available on DVD. I encourage you to buy the BBC version. Anyone who has an interest in nature, animals, global warming or high tech filming will love this series. Chilren will love it too, though it does not shy away from the animal kingdom's predator-prey relationship in all its blooddy detail, so caution is advised.
I decided to buy it because I loved it when I saw it on tv. The only thing is I have never received it after I bought it. Could someone please help me?
Simply put, the filmmakers have managed to capture some of the most amazing footage of animals in their native habitat...period.
Each episode runs approximately 58 minutes. This includes “Planet Earth Diaries,” a 10-minute feature that details the filming of a particular event. The DVD series has narration by David Attenborough, as it was in the original BBC release. This varies from the American airing of the series on the Discovery Channel which had Sigourney Weaver’s narration.
This is by far the most impressive nature program/DVD I have ever laid eyes on...hands down. Don't miss it!
Excellent footage. Love watching it. Haven't completed watching the entire series, but the 2 disk I have watched are breath taking. This DVD is for the entire family. Very entertaining.
Watched the DVDs with grandchildren. We enjoyed the interesting facts and the video scenes as well... We are glad we purchased it and may consider purchasing a second set for them.
This is the most spectacular, amazing, and visually stunning film ever produced to date. This is as close as you can get in see the amazing creation of God captured on film. You will have a different appreciation for this Earth you live in after watching this, and hopefully for the Creator who created this planet, and everything in this universe. It is a small price to pay for such an amazing collection. Thanks to the producers, directors, and film makers for taking this journey and enduring the environment to bring this to us.
Once my payment went through, it only took a few days for the item to arrive. There are several CDs in the box and they've all been in perfect working condition! I had a very pleasent experience using this seller and would recommend to anyone.
I really had no idea that it was going to be this good. I love national geographic and similar depictions on screen but none to date were as magnificent as this picture was. I highly recommend taking the time just to check out trailers of it on line and then experience it for yourself. I don't believe that a person could shy away from saying "wow" at least once during this wonderful documentary. Its simply beautiful footage and a wonderful thing to watch. If you have children and want to teach or open their eyes to subjects not covered very well in school, this is a great way to learn and share. Check it out already!
This is a wonderful collection of 5 DVDs covering all aspects of our one of a kind Planet Earth. We take for granted the wonderful place that we live on. This is a must see collection. The cinematography is breath taking. Each segment is then recapped with the time and effort that went into making it. Nothing I can write here will truly captivate the full spectrum of this DVD collection. You have to see it to appreciated the world around you. ***** 5 Stars
A true classic. A must for anyone's video library. Rivers, canyons, mountains animals and every kind of creation you can imagine. From all continents and from every corner of the earth from the deepest seas to the highest mountains you see life as it really is. Planet earth is truly a living planet.
It's one of the best documentary's on the market, plus they show how they filmed each segment, and the footage is outstanding. Well worth the purchase.
The purchase of my "Planet Earth Collection" was smooth as a silk, no hassles, no problem, no nothing. The product was in excellent condition, brand new. The delivery very fast. I was more than very well satisfied purchasing my item for this seller. In other words: "10 out of 10" Thanks!!
I have been videographing last 20 years and found the planet earth the most amazing one not only for the scenes of nature but also its technologies in high definition upgraded video/audio quality. I rate " MORE THAN EXCELLENT" for this video and highly appreciate all those videographers who could win against the worst conditions of the natures.
Recently I could watch very similiar program "NATURE" on PBS.

The photography is fabulous! I saw a couple episodes on TV and had to have the whole series. It is amazing work by the BBC...and they must have had a lot of patience.
