The image quality is perfect. This is THE showcase for blu-ray players on a large screen. Tremendous detail, exquisite photography, vibrant colors... It is the perfect combination of long-distance beauty shots of mountains, jungles, etc. and textured, enchanting close-ups of animals.
The pacing is great. It doesn't get bogged down with any of its subjects, and moves satisfyingly to follow the theme of the episode (eg. "fresh water," "mountains," "desert," etc.).
The content is surprisingly original. You would think you've seen every nature show there is to see... But they manage to find new, unique creatures (often never-before-photographed).
Overall, it is enthralling, breathtaking, and deeply stirring.
How they made it (and how they're recooping the costs of making it) is beyond me. In fact my only complaint is that it could use another disk with more making-of features. Get a good price for it, and you won't regret it.

Planet Earth is a mammoth undertaking of a series and the end product is one of the most fitting contributions to the High Def format in home viewing.
The BBC documentary stretches some 10 hours of perfectly captured life on this planet. Every one of the stunning visuals has nuance and interest. There are almost no stupid quick cuts found in 99% of all tv or movies these days. This is 10 hours you can really soak in. David Attenborough has a soft guiding voice through the depths and heights of our journey and the audio too fares well on my surround sound.
While the Blu-Ray is curiously missing the extras found on the DVD set, the only real criticism you can levy at Planet Earth is the lack of a larger narrative scope belying the overall epic vision. Instead of participants in the world we are presented, the viewer is left as a bit of a tourist.
But in the end the series is what it is and how much can you really criticize 10 hours of continuous beauty? This is a must own.

To be honest, I purchased this set as a gift, so I haven't personally viewed it. I have, however, watched the entire series narrated by Sigorney Weaver and absolutely love all of them. I bought this set mostly based on others reviews by this narrater. Whomever has narrated the series, it is the best nature series I have ever seen and I could easily watch them again and again.

This is a great gift for a family. I bought it for my 12 year old grandson who has already enjoyed it with his parents and 8 year old brother as well as two cousins and a few older friends. It is just fascinating and the narration is so well spoken. I bought this originally last year at $[...] as a gift for someone who returned it - too bad for them. Lucky for me this company has new un-opened packages available at a much lower price.
You won't be disappointed !

I saw this series on regular dvd a while ago. It was still fabulous! On Blu-Ray and even a 720p HDTV it is absolutely astonding! The content is mostly shot with hi-def cameras and what a visual treat it is! I will not repeat what has already been said already about this exceptional documentery. My suggestion is to start with the episode 'Fresh water"-- the footage of Angel Falls will leave you speechless!
