OK Movie, Great 3D

I really enjoyed the first movie, and the sequel is not as good, but the 3D makes up more it. The audio/visual is superb.

The producers of Planet Earth explore some truly remarkable creatures and their unique habitats, many of which have never been captured on camera before. Star nosed moles, Zambian bats, and the Vogelkop bowerbird are just a few of the creature's you'll encounter as the filmmakers take viewers to distant continents, using state-of-the-art filming techniques to drift along with migrating elephants, soar through the sky with monarch butterflies, and witness a mating battle (also known as a "heat run") between male humpback whales. A two week visit with some Komodo dragons allows us to witness with striking detail how the mighty, ancient beasts can manage the unique feat of taking down an animal that towers over them in size. The series concludes with a "making-of" special which reveals how the dedicated filmmakers worked for more than four years to deliver a nature series with the power to take your breath away. Narrated by David Attenborugh.

David Attenborough is Great

I have seen both versions of this show. The one narrated by David Attenborough is by far superior. Very entertaining, well worth it.

The legendary David Attenborough created the epic documentary miniseries Planet Earth, which became his pièce-de-resistance. The program plunges into, and canvasses, virtually every aspect of the global ecosphere, from the mountains to the oceans to the flora and fauna, one subtopic at a time - meanwhile reveling in atmospheric cinematography. By any standard, it qualifies as the most successful nature documentary ever shot, selling millions of copies and winning a host of international awards including four Emmys. Attenborough narrates. This box set contains the entire miniseries as it originally aired, plus numerous bonus features.

Great Update to Planet Earth
on April 29, 2013

This six disc set comes with new special features and split on 6 discs instead of 4 discs with older version. David Attenborough narrates great. The audio is DTS-HD 5.1, a nice upgrade.

This sprawling two-part box set features a pair of the most acclaimed nature miniseries ever produced, each one a co-production of the BBC and The Discovery Channel. First on the bill is the legendary Planet Earth, narrated by Sir David Attenborough - an epic-length tour of the biodiversity of our planet, and a look at the various species that populate it. Next up is the 10-part program Life, a microcosmic voyage featuring 130 stories of life that exists beyond the scope of the human eye, and at the frontiers of the natural world, 54 of which have never before been cinematically told or seen.

Excellent Blu-ray Package

These two packaged together is a great set. David Attenborough is great with the narrative on both of these sets. The imagery is wonderful. Audio is suitable, but good for the set.

One of Bill Murray's best comedies
on April 15, 2013
Posted by: MyrtleW
from USA
another great Ivan Reitman comedy. One of Bill Murray's best roles. Great Cast. This blu-ray has the extended cut which runs about 19 minutes longer than the original cut. Just a great comedy, with great directing and very good supporting cast. Blu-ray is better than the previous DVD release in video and audio, but not the best transfer.

What's great about it: Bill Murray, John Candy, Harold Ramis
What's not so great: visuals

Excellent 3D release

This movie is such eye candy. The 3D, visuals, and CGI are incredible. One of the best 3D blu-ray of the year. Colors are rich, the tiger looks incredible, so life like. The video and audio do not disappoint. Great story, Ang Lee did a superb job directing this movie.
