Summary: Planet Earth...like you've never seen it before
Comment: A series produced by the BBC and narrated by Dr David Attenborough; it turns out to be an electrifying testament to Planet Earth. Technically, the 5 DVD's are excellent; great color and superb audio.
This is a series that basically spans the globe bringing us stunning visual accounts of the wildlife on our world; in the air, on land and under the oceans, from pole to pole, from desert to tropical forests. There are moments ranging from motherly tenderness to stunning hunts of predators and prey; some will leave you breathless.
Each DVD tends to deal with a particular area or topic. One doesn't have to delve far into the first disc to realize that someone, somewhere has spent countless hours (mostly just waiting for the right moment) to obtain these unique and unbelievable shots/films.
My highlight of the entire series was from disc one; an immense great white shark (previously hidden beneath the surface of the ocean), leaps completely out of the water to devour a poor unsuspecting seal. This spectacle is presented to you, the viewer, in slow motion; the actual event is stunningly quick, violent and takes place within less then two seconds. Talk about being at the right spot at the right time to actually film this incredible footage (unless your the seal, of course).
Conclusion:
A 5 DVD collection; professionally filmed, edited and narrated. It will make you aware of the beauty, yet savage potential that encompasses some of the less traversed areas of our home planet. 5 Stars...more if I could.
