'Planet Earth' is one of the most awesome nature documentaries. They show stunning videos of Arctic, Mountains, Caves, Deserts, Plains, Jungles, Forests, Seas, Ocean deep etc etc. This superb documentary has the superb narrator David Attenborough !!

The production value is absolutely amazing and is so informative. You honestly can't believe what your watching because it doesn't seem possible. The shots they do are so creative and is well worth the time. A must watch for everyone.

The original TV show consists of 11 hour long episodes of some of the most stunning nature cinematography and harrowing real life-and-death struggles. One should definitely get the British version with David Attenborough narrating to get that old nature documentary feel. The scope is global and the visuals are cinematic. It is a thing of utter beauty. There are 3 additional episodes called Planet Earth: The Future and it's best to avoid those. It's a lot of talking heads saying the same thing from slightly different angles. I understand the motive to push for nature conservation but pushing too hard comes off as being preachy. There is greater power to show the beauty of nature. One can always insert the ugliness of human destruction without having talking heads drone on about it. The original 11 episodes are as close to perfection as TV nature documentaries can get.

This is a feedback on the blu-ray version of Planet Earth: In an age when 'free downloads' are preferred mode for owning movies and documentaries, I shelled out three times more money to buy a blu-ray version of the DVD version I possess just to appreciate the hard work undertaken, to contribute one's mite to fund such beautiful projects and to have an even more spectacular view of the documentary. But 'Planet Earth Diaries' (12 such episodes) part of the 'complete series' in the DVD version has been culled out in the blu-ray version. Although the blu-ray experience is breathtaking, I feel shortchanged by this culled version of Planet Earth. One of the reasons why I bought the blu-ray version was to watch the 'diary' on the snow leopard. It would be an understatement to say I am thoroughly disappointed that this is not there in the blu-ray version. The blu-ray should ideally have the warning, 'the incomplete version'
