Summary: Bleh. I fell asleep.
Comment: My husband got this for Christmas from a family member, and while excited at first to see images, I was put out by the toneless narrator, and felt like it was an elementary/junior high science class. Some of the images were stunning, but like what other people were saying I saw some dirt on the picture for the blu-ray release. Not as high quality as I was expecting, really. I think we would have rather received the Planet Earth series, starting with the ocean one. That may have been more interesting. I am still scratching my head why this was considered a Christmas gift choice since neither my husband or I watch documentaries except on Discovery or History Channel, and we already get those in HD. I say skip it.

Summary: Wouldn't buy this if I had seen before
Comment: I bought this walking through the airport, expecting it to be one of the collection of BBC programmes. Got back to my home country, popped it in, and was very dissapointed. Quality did not seem to be up to blu-ray standard of picture quality.
My own fault, I believe I mistook this product for "The Blue Planet - Seas of Life", which I have not seen thus far, but I believe is up to the standard of the BBC programmes. In comparison to the BBC line of Blu-rays available, this Blue Planet pales in comparison (not 100% certain that this is not part of the BBC line, but just by comparison of the quality, it definitely does not seem to be).
For really stunning visuals, great narration, entertaining and suitable soundtrack, and an enjoyable, engrossing learning experience, get Planet Earth, and the remaining BBC line - Galapogos, Wild China, Ganges.

Summary: Beautiful Images...
Comment: This is a great video and a must-have for any HD nut out there... unfortunately HD-DVD lost the format war but it can still be purchased on Blu-Ray.

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: After watching and loving the Planet Earth movies I got this one for my husband. It is interesting, but not nearly as well done as the Planet Earth movies. I lost interest and had a hard time following some of the shots they were talking about from space. It's ok, informational but if you want to get something REALLY good - get Planet Earth!

From the unique vantage point of 200 miles above Earth's surface, we see how natural forces - volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes - affect our world, and how a powerful new force - humankind - has begun to alter the face of the planet. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth, our only home.
