State Of The Planet DVD

Advantages: a great 2 disk set
Disadvantages: 2 many extras

...of the monkey training center that is on the planet but little does Leo know it will not be much help. At the end of the film Leo finds out that he isd not just on another planet, he has travelled in time and the mothership that followed him to rescue him ended up on the planet hundreds of years before leo did, I am not going to tell you all the plot because their are more twists and at the very end a big shock for Leo on earth.

Advantages: Sound and extras are stunning
Disadvantages: Not as good as original

Advantages: Beautiful. Breath-taking....just wow.
Disadvantages: None

...WOW. This is genuinely the best thing i have ever bought. Theres hours of fantastic footage of some places and animals that almost all of us will never experience up close. This ground-breaking documentary takes the audience to places that they didnt even know existed, showing the most beautiful caves, most remote deserts and showing the weirdest yet amazing creatures on the planet. The DVD is packed full of extra features including a special extra DVD talking about the future of planet earth. Also at the end of each episode is about 10 or so minutes about the making of that episode showing what the camera crews had to endure to take these fantastic breath-taking images for us, however this isnt just for the DVD as the original episodes has this aswell....
