Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

SnoopyStyle The original TV show consists of 11 hour long episodes of some of the most stunning nature cinematography and harrowing real life-and-death struggles. One should definitely get the British version with David Attenborough narrating to get that old nature documentary feel. The scope is global and the visuals are cinematic. It is a thing of utter beauty. There are 3 additional episodes called Planet Earth: The Future and it's best to avoid those. It's a lot of talking heads saying the same thing from slightly different angles. I understand the motive to push for nature conservation but pushing too hard comes off as being preachy. There is greater power to show the beauty of nature. One can always insert the ugliness of human destruction without having talking heads drone on about it. The original 11 episodes are as close to perfection as TV nature documentaries can get.

Edward Ashton This series is probably one of the best series I have ever watched. This fascinating documentary drags me in every time I watch it. David Attenborough's way of explaining of how creatures breed, eat etc is like no other before, he's the best wildlife narrator that will ever live. They spent five years on this wildlife, and I think that it was definitely worth it. It is the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC, and it was the first ever in high definition. So really, it set the bar for high picture quality. The BBC did it perfectly in the way of organising it for the episodes, it just flowed perfectly. There won't be another nature documentary like this one.So if you don't watch it, you're missing out massively.

benno-das This is a feedback on the blu-ray version of Planet Earth: In an age when 'free downloads' are preferred mode for owning movies and documentaries, I shelled out three times more money to buy a blu-ray version of the DVD version I possess just to appreciate the hard work undertaken, to contribute one's mite to fund such beautiful projects and to have an even more spectacular view of the documentary. But 'Planet Earth Diaries' (12 such episodes) part of the 'complete series' in the DVD version has been culled out in the blu-ray version. Although the blu-ray experience is breathtaking, I feel shortchanged by this culled version of Planet Earth. One of the reasons why I bought the blu-ray version was to watch the 'diary' on the snow leopard. It would be an understatement to say I am thoroughly disappointed that this is not there in the blu-ray version. The blu-ray should ideally have the warning, 'the incomplete version'

Dylan-Potter While not quite the superb feel of Life of Mammals, this is a very well-made documentary. Travels around the Earth and films something like never before. From Pole to Pole is an awesome beginning, and displays the best scenes upcoming, without showing too many great moments. Mountains is high adventure, where scenes are more thrilling because if predators don't get you, then the fall will. The fresh water episode shows an amazing life in the rivers, such as piranhas and river dolphins. The caves episode is a thrilling travel down into the caves of earth, the amazing underground world. Deserts shows how life survives in the remote worlds, in this hard land called the desert in a fascinating exploration. Ice Worlds shows the coldest environments, in the show's peak. Great Plains is my 2nd favourite, with so much action, thrills, an exciting episode. Jungles is a truly exciting look at the rain forests, with monkeys, snakes and many more. Shallow Seas shows the waters of true fascination. My 3rd favourite is soon after this, but first my 4th favourite Seasonal Forests is an examination of forests and some exciting creatures. Then is the truly weird Ocean Deep, starring an array of strange and different species. I can't get over how strange the species of this really are. Vampire Squid, and many things with weird names and weird bodies/lives that I am amazed by, in an epic conclusion. An epic series, my 2nd favourite Attenborough after life of mammals. WATCH IT!
