 Just fantastic! You'll watch over and over again March 31, 2007

I was lucky enough to watch this series whilst living in England... every week my wife and I would stop whatever we were doing and sat down an watched. Photography is stunning and the research is great. Get this and remember why sometimes TV is worth watching!! Just makes me wish we had the full bbc here in the US (no bloody bbc world!)
Get it in high definition if you can play it. I've watched all the episodes in "standard" (Standard UK TV systems is between American "standard" and HDTV) and a few in HD. HD and the quality of the photography in this show makes a stunning combination.

Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series
In Dec 2006, I bought UK edition for $42 (amazon,UK) that has David Attenborough as narrator. I don't know why they released/broadcasted this set so late (at least 6 months) in USA. I also don't know why it is overpriced in USA. I haven't seen USA version. The UK version is PAL, 5-disc, subtitles, 10 hours-43 mins running time. The 5th disc should be seen by everybody that discusses saving species and living together. You will need region free (or multi zone) dvd player to see UK version.

Does Amazon offer a close caption version of this with David Attenborough as narrator and NOT S. Weaver? I liked her in "Year of Living Dangerously" BUT NOT FOR THIS.
Do youself a favor and see the British version March 27, 2007

See the British version with David Attenborough. American verson is re-narrated(worse), re-edited(sequences out of order, remixed, sequences missing- completely gone!!), and dumbed down(some of us know what an arboreal forest is!!)
Absolutely the definition of epic beautiful. March 26, 2007

I watched this last night on the Discovery channel and one word breathtaking.Shot over 200 locations and I mean everywhere on the face of the planet they could go.The underwater worlds that they have filmed are absolutely beautiful in themselves , but they keep on getting this powerful footage.Some footage took them years to film such as Snow Leapord on the hunt.And when I, saw the Sharks as they perform incedible acrobatic feats , I thought to myself how truly unfair hollywood has treated these beautiful creatures as mindless killing machines.
Panda Bears doing amazing maternal instincts and sacrifice , to emperor penguins surviving in terrible freezing temperatures and much much more.
This is an epic journey for the hole family and after you watch it, tell your kids that soon they will soon have the job of taking care of this beautiful planet of ours.I cannot comment much about features other then i know there is making of footage and narration with sigourney weaver and richard attenburoagh.This is a must own for you or your entire family and witness yourself the power and majesty of our planet Earth.
