Beware!

Although excellent picture quality and content, this is basically edited highlights of "Planet Earth". Even the narrative is the same, only delivered by Patrick Stewart and not David Attenborough.
More sense to buy the complete package of "Planet Earth" as this is greater value for money.
However, if you do not want to sit through a five disc set, then this represents a concise and crisp summary.

Previous to what you might have heard this DVD has almost 90% of the same film material as the Planet Earth DVD series. For those people who dont want to spend £15 more on the better presented and narrated box set this film is for you. Patrick Stewart is a fine replacement narrator although word for word its almost exactly the same as David Attenborough's narration in Planet Earth. If yours kids are the kind to loose interest in documentaries quickly then this DVD is also for you, as in conclusion it is a brief overview of the material shown in the Planet Earth Series.
BRILLIANT!

This is by far the best quality dvd we have seen yet. We've seen movies on blu-ray, but this just blows them out of the water. The picture quality is absolutely amazing! If you are investing in a blu-ray player, we would highly recommend this as a first blu-ray dvd purchase!
Great for a Blu-ray newbie

Having just invested in Blu-ray technology I wondered what disc to start with. I thought natural history would be a sensible initial investment. I was not wrong. The HD of 'EARTH' certainly delivers and the colours and fine detail are worth the investment. I heartily recommend it.
Far and away the best picture quality yet

This Blu ray is amazing. Pin sharp picture, full HD 1080P. At just over an hour and a half, the film never lags, and the narration is superb by Patrick Stewart.
Just a note to those who already own the Blu Ray of 'Planet Earth' that the BBC released last year - around 10-20% of the footage appears to be either the same or similar, especially in the Polar Bear and Cubs segment.
There is enough new material to warrant a purchase, however. Watching through my PS3 console on a 42" Toshiba HD tv and the picture is pretty much pin-sharp in every scene, unlike the Planet Earth release that was a mixture of standard and high definition and often looked it!
