Planet Earth: Complete Collection (DVD)

Rating

Planet Earth: Complete Collection (DVD) was five years in the making showing every aspect of earth's fauna and flora. The photography is outstanding as is the information and the way the videographers shot the scenes. Not only is the collection education, it is aesthetically pleasing with rare or first-time footage of hunts by animals by aerial photography and underwater shots of elephants swimming. The snow leopard's hunt is breathtaking as is the man who spent eight months in the mountains waiting for the scene. This is matched only by the male bird of paradise's dance in Papua New Guinea for the female. The voice-overs are as illuminating as the pictures. This is a wonderful collection for any family video library.

If you haven't seen any of this series on the Discovery Channel, you owe it to yourself and your family to spend a little time and watch at least an episode. Once you do you will no doubt appreciate how well done and valuable this documentary is as a work of art and an invaluable record of what once was this planet. I had to own it. Given the incredible pressures being placed on the environment today and the apparent lack of politcal will to correct the damage we are inflicting on our planet Earth, it is conceivable that within our lives or our children's lives many of the things documented in this series will be gone for good. This film series will open your eyes to the incredible wonders and beauty that surround us if only we would take the time to look. A masterpiece!

After watching this entire series myself, I knew this was the perfect Father's Day gift for my dad--you know..."the world's most difficult man to buy anything for because he has everything and wants nothing?" Well, that's him and I figured he DIDN'T have this and WOULD completely love it. And he does! He has a huge appreciation for the world around us, for nature and geography, and for well-captured filming and photo shots. I think this series completely astounded even him with how absolutely beautiful it is, and with the devotion of the film crew to capture never-before-seen shots. This is a must see for everyone.

This series offers an amazing view of the planet we live on. The special cameras and techniques they used were able to catch events that have never been filmed before. Plus it is just fun to watch.
