Advantages: Beauty, nature, David Attenborough Disadvantages: None
...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 ... ...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 ...

Advantages: Great scenes that you can't imagine exists Disadvantages: Could be a little longer
This is the best dvd set I've ever bought and I got the blu ray edition. Each dvd is on a topic about some landscape/water part of the earth and they use the best examples to show (ex: biggest cave, largest reef, etc.) You feel like each topic can actually be a 2 hour movie by itself, but they do a great job of picking the best images into each dvd. The only exception is the first dvd, which is a preview of all the other topics. It gathers the best ...

Advantages: A wonderful insight into our great planet Disadvantages: Just too brilliant
This BBC series has set an example for other nature documentaries to follow. Whith its unprecedented amount of funding and use of new technology, this series really captures the wonders of our great planet, whilst highlighting the need to preserve it for future generations. The dvd consists of 11 roughly hour long episodes, each covering a different topic, such as deserts, caves and fresh water. There are some great sequences, my favourites being ... ...and the struggle of a polar bear desperatly trying to find food as it starves to death.
The last 10 minutes of each episode shows how the footage was filmed, giving a rare insight into the life of a nature camaraman. These short 'how its made' documentaries show just how much sacrifice needs to be made to become a camaraman, but also make you wish you had been the one filming that special sequence.
Each episode features the great landscapes of ...
