I've got to say that Planet Earth is amazing in every respect. The series is about 550 minutes long and almost all is filmed in high definition. There are 11 parts to the series and they all take us through unique parts of our planet. Some animals are so rare that it is the first time that we can actually see them on film. We can see how Great White Shark attacks seals in slow motion, how pack of lions attack an elephant. We can see the biggest caves in the world and what creatures live in them , the biggest falls in the world, the strangest creatures living in the deeps of the sea. I mean all this stuff is jaw dropping. Highly recommended. | |

Take in some of the most amazing sights and locations that most of us will never see for ourselves. My 3 yr old loves watching the animals and fish and begs me to "turn on the alligators!" You won't find it any cheaper than here on ebay! | |

The version with the British narrator is done well but I am waiting for the version with Sigourney Weavor as that version is done just incredible. Her voice works seamlessly with the series and I couldn't find a thing a to complain about except that it ended! | |

However, if you can find the Planet Earth HD DVD with David Attenborough as narrator, buy it! Ms. Weaver, that narrates the U. S. version, sounds at times to be asleep, and rather mono toned. I bought the U. S. version and enjoyed the videos but did not care for Ms. Weaver's narration. So, I bought the BBC version with Mr. Attenborough and the narration was far superior. There are so many great narrators in the United States, I wonder why the U. S. producers chose Ms. Weaver? | |

And being a nut for hd I look for shows to test my equipments abilities. This show not only showed the clarity of my equipment but the majesty of our planet. From cascading mountains to seemingly lifeless caves, this series takes you on a journey to the farthest and least visited corners of our planet. Hearing the conditions and risks the camera men and women underwent rendered even more respect and enjoyment from these shows. I highly recommend this dvd collection to any and everyone - well worth the money! Truly a masterpiece. You just have to see it to understand. I used the xbox 360 hd dvd player for this with no problems. I have seen both the episodes with Sigorney Weaver and David Attenbough and recommend the one with Attenbough. In my opinion his voice is easier to listen too, i mean who doesnt like a british accent?? There are 4 disks with 3 episodes on each except for the last disk, making a total of 11 spectacular shows. Do yourself the favor and get it. | |

Although HD DVD has now lost the race for High Definition video, it doesn't mean your player must go in the trash or never be used. This collection is truly amazing. Turn out the lights, turn up the volume and sit back to be amazed at what the Earth has to offer. From the top of the tallest mountains to the bottom of the oceans, you will certainly be astonished to learn about some of the day to day activities that happen all around you. With the high definition quality, you don't just feel like you are there, you truly are there. Top notch, 100% guaranteed to satisfy the nature lover in all of us. Bid now, pay fast and prepare to fall in love with nature. | |
