One can readily identify with the pets in this movie with just a bit of imagination. An entertaining look through the eyes of the pets. The video quality is detailed and full of bright colors. The 3D presentation is first rate with satisfying depth without ghosting or other 3D issues. Highly recommended.
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.
Grab a latte and enjoy 609 minutes of quality nature programming, in installments of course! Interesting and usually subjects to keep you entertained. The picture quality varies a bit, but is very watchable. Highly recommended!
This 3D verison was a replacement for my old DVD verison. It is a much improved visually. The 3D adds much to the viewing experience. If you love this movie, this verison is worth another dip. Recommended.
This purchase was an upgrade from my existing DVD version. It offers an improvement in picture and sound quality, but does show it's technical age. It is still justifiable at the bargain bin price if you have enjoyed this movie previously. Recommended.
The dinosaurs in natural settings look SOOO realistic in this dramatic look into their prehistoric lives. The story telling is from the dinosaurs' prospective and not the usual fact filled presentation. The animals do not talk, but the narrative portrays their individual thoughts. Very good story telling! The 3d is flawless and adds much to the realism. Highly recommended.
Highly enjoyable story for young and others that would enjoy basic silliness. The story lacks high drama or even much of a plot, but the video is very detailed and crazy colorful. An eye candy feast of vivid colors. The 3D is very natural looking and adds so much to the realisim, ha, ha! The included 4K verison is waiting in the wings for the day when 4K players become more affordable. Highly recommended for it's excellent 3d and video richness!
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.
537 minutes of interesting nature programming spread over 6 Blu-ray Disc in HD video for $14.99! Dramatic stories of life and survival in nature. There are no tour buses going to these locals! Enjoy the ride! The video quality is very good, but not cutting edge detailed. Otherwise a five star rating would have been more deserving.
I would recommend this movie to those that are inclined to liking fantasy tales. Many surprises as the story unfolds. It is not a particularly light hearted story for kids however. The video is 1st class with detailed imaging along with a satisfying sound presentation. The added depth of the 3D version does enhance the viewing experience.
