Amazon.co.uk Review
Not only is IPlanet Earth/I one of the most jaw-dropping, ambitious, nature documentaries the BBC has ever produced, it’s now taken on another role: as a superb demonstration disc for the strength of and Blu-ray. P Spread over a good ten hours, the series charts life and nature in dozens upon dozens of differing locations around the earth. Diligently and warmly narrated by Sir David Attenborough, IPlanet Earth/I calmly goes close in on its subject matter when required, and then pulls out some stunning perspective shots that are simply breathtaking. It’s hard to come up with the right superlatives to do the photography on the programme any kind of justice, and that it’s married to such fascinating subject matter is all the better. P And if you think the original broadcast of IPlanet Earth/I was something special, or you were gobsmacked by the picture quality on DVD, just wait until you see it in 1080p HD glory. Particularly some of the broader shots here are all but without parallel, and it’s a real reward for those who have invested ahead of the crowd in high definition technology. P Presented over five discs, and matching wonderful content to spot-on visual presentation, IPlanet Earth/I is now not just a landmark in nature documentary film making. It’s also a chartermark of quality for just what HD DVD and Blu-ray can offer. A stunning release, in more than one sense. --IJon Foster/I

Great movies
The image quality is amazing. I played it on my Dell laptop with a blu-ray drive. Very good purchase.

Hmm, na ya...soso
I rate the content at around four stars. I would like some more background information on where the footage is taken, maps, maybe, but that is just a personal preference. Pretty good overall. br / br /Video is for me only two stars. Why? sometimes it is very nice, maybe four stars, but at times it is just really bad. REALLY bad. down to 1 star. I can understand if it is in the technically difficult shots, but it is not, it is mostly on the big panorama shots. Fuzzy, unclear, sub-standard quality. The inconsistency is the most I have seen on any blu-ray, and is frankly just annoying. br / br /Sound is OK. No Master Audio, or Dolby True HD. So, three stars max there, though the soundtrack is not what is supposed to make this film. br / br /Overall, I don't think I would recommend buying this box-set. br / br /Watched on Full HD TV, BW 600 series speakers, and Denon receiver. br / br /

Planet E...arth on Blu-ray
This is really a great series on Blu-ray. It takes HD to give you a sense of the vastness of our planet. The mountains are so well shot, that its awesome! But dont expect every close up to be HD-perfect; some scenes are zoomed and some are grainy. The colors sometimes dont come up to perfection, but that's a minor hitch. Overall a real good buy for wildlife fanatics. br / br /Those who believe in Creation, Attenborough does use the E-word now and then. Still - its a great sight-seeing tour - from the comfort of your living room.

Pure pleasure
Back to back this is a great series. All praise goes to BBC team that did this series because they shot this series from the air not to disturb animals underneath and imagine seeing everything in true HD. Amazing experience. On of the best buys I've ever made in my life.

Amazing...Did everything that was promised by other reviews
Haven't had a chance to watch all of this, but it is jaw-dropping br / br /You sit there watching whole forests grow before your eyes, or the world's population flying across the sky, and you just think how? How has anyone been able to film that? br / br /It is a shame that in a few years people will only be able to see half the animals and beautiful scenes on this disc, because they'll be gone! br / br /This is an essential in every collection, and at this price is the bargain of the century to be frank
