No one does natural history quite like David Attenborough, and the Planet Earth series raises the standard another notch over the competition and if like me you love natural history you'll find nothing better...................Planet Eart is streets ahead of anyone else.
The dvd collection is comprised of 11 episodes, each looking at different environments, and then three more traditional documentaries about the threats to these environments.
As ever, it's the camera work (and David Attenborough's enthusiastic narration) that sets the series apart from its rivals. The film is astonishing, and the techniques used to present it are an impressive bonus.
Visually stunning the awesome beauty of this series is completely beyond anyting you've seen before. If you watch this series, you will shake your head and marvel at how beautiful our planet and the creatures on it really are.
The series also includes a number of truly fantastic moments such as a snow leopard chasing a goat down a sheer rock face, a pride of lions hunting elephants and a polar bear fighting a walrus. You will not find a more beautifully shot, painstakingly researched, lovingly made and worthy piece of wildlife television than Planet Earth.
My own favourite part was definately the piece that chapters seals, the highlight being the great whie shark that lauches itself from the water to catch lunch. This shot is breath-taking.............I defy you to watch and not be amazed as the grat white propells itself from the wate, lips draw back to reveal a set of monsterous teeth............spectacular!!
personall I think that this series is fantastic, but unless you love nature and documentaries, you will find little rewatch value in it. It is a beautiful series to behold, but visuals alone cannot carry it. Nature can sometimes be as brutal as it is beautiful, so you must have the stomach for it.
The quality substance is there, but whether you'll find it interesting boils down to personal taste. If you are the kind of person who enjoys watching National Geographic specials and round-the-clock specials on the History Channel, it's unlikely Planet Earth will ever be far from your DVD player.
