Blue Planet II [Blu-ray] (Enhanced Widescreen for 16x9 was the original purchase until cancel, but this next item Planet Earth Special Edition 6 disc set is good enough replacement to see the natural world without leaving the living room.

This IS my reference documentary for all biology and evolution along with Life/Blue Planet also from BBC. BBC covers everything except outter space (astronomy documentaries elsewhere). It presents some of the coolest, most dangerous to capture ever camera shots in amazing 1080p [ how on Earth do you film hi def cameras in the Antarctic UNDERWATER?!?!? BTW it tells you in special features ;) ]. If you have a regular small TV or a giant setup like me with Marantz receivers and 7.1 Axiom speakers you won't be let down. The DTS Hi Res track is to my audiophile ears, indistinguishable from the lossless DTS HD MA. The entire gamut of animals is covered too, with none of the boring African Safari ONLY animals countless of other documentaries covered. Whether you're a Biology major like me or just a neophyte and curious about animals, this IS the piece for you. Oh, and David Attenborough''s narration is dead on, his voice is calming and clear like a Morgan Freeman...the perfect British compliment for this educational video. All in all 5/5 presentation, and I am picky when it comes to my blu ray reviews. Best purchase of the year from BestBuy for this price!

I bought the original Planet Earth and was drawn to this version due to the special features and the extra episodes. Would highly recommend especially when the item is on sale.

Incredible beauty in all the areas of the world. From the poles to the desert to the caves to the oceans. David Attenborough shows us an awe inspiring view of natures wonders.

Planet Earth on Bluray Disc has the best quality nature videos available anywhere. I use Planet Earth to show off my high definition TV and audio system to my friends.

I love these films, they are packed with so much information and show you the beauty around the world. Its a great edition to have in your movie collections!

I have begun collecting these when they go on sale and am amazed at the content and the utter amazing way they must film this stuff, truly fantastic

Full disclosure - I waited eagerly for each new episode of Planet Earth when it was first broadcast in the US on Discovery 10 years ago. And when it came out on DVD, I picked it up right away. And now I've finally gotten around to upgrading to the blu-ray version. But do I still think it's absolutely worth owning? You bet - read on to see why. When Planet Earth first came out, it was a visual tour de force - the best way to show off your shiny new HDTV. That piece has aged just "ok" - it's still a pretty picture and sharp enough but certainly not something to awe us in the era of streaming 4K. The piece that hasn't changed a bit though is the masterful coverage of places, plants and animals that most of us would never otherwise see, certainly not in their native environments. And with these environments disappearing every day, it becomes even that much more important to preserve them in any way possible - including film. So I will buy Planet Earth in the best format I can, not to showcase my TV's prowess, but to save to show those in the future the awe of the natural world.

Wonderful scenery and animal studies. Some of the time lapses are simply phenomenal. Only reason for 4 stars is I watched planet earth II in 4k just before this and the difference between 4k and Blu-ray is huge. Also, there is some overlap between the two. If I had watched this first I'm sure I would have given it 5 stars.

What can one say about anything Richard Attenborough produces? Fantastic, et cetera! The blue ray version is to die for.

The wonderful mini series explores our beautiful planet, You will learn a lot about our world, and be in awe of it's beauty.

Really good looking show. It's not going to look as amazing as Part 2 because it's over ten years old now though.

Great show in Bluray format. The Earth in all its glory. And even a better value because of the sale price.

Very good quality and a very clear picture. Excellent footage of all different area of the earth.

Great series, great price. Even influenced the newest indoor cat to be named Attenborough.

Narration is really good, keeps the kid occupied watching the documentary

The BBC does such an amazing job with these documentaries. Just breathtaking.

I bought these as a gift, and they did not disappoint. Beautiful Blu-ray image

The sights and sounds are brilliant! The image and audio quality of this 6-disc Blu-ray set are exemplary. The 1080i image is flicker free and everything looks great. the DTS 5.1 is stellar. The content is jaw-dropping great. The set contains a plethora of extras. This title has been released several times. My favorite is the globe packaging. This physical package is pretty good *except* for the cardboard sleeves for the individual discs. Cardboard sleeves are *not* a good idea as they can scratch the surface of the disc which in turn can result in play disruption. That happened on one of the discs on first play. Cardboard sleeve (and staggered hub) packaging should be banned. Big mistake. That being said, "Planet Earth" on Blu-ray is, again, brilliant and I'm delighted to have it in my collection.

Hello, Planet Earth is a great series and views that we haven't seen before.
