Planet Earth – The Complete BBC Series
With a production budget of $25 million, the makers of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life crafted this epic story of life on Earth. Five years in production, with over 2,000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, and shot entirely in high definition, Planet Earth is an unparalleled portrait of the “third rock from the sun.” This stunning television experience captures rare action in impossible locations and presents intimate moments with our planet’s best-loved, wildest, and most elusive creatures.
Employing a revolutionary new aerial photography system, the series captures animal behavior that has never before been seen on film. The series features high-definition footage from outer space to offer a brand-new perspective on wonders such as the Himalayas and the Amazon River.
From the highest mountains to the deepest rivers, this blockbuster series takes you on an unforgettable journey through the daily struggle for survival in Earth’s most extreme habitats. Planet Earth goes places viewers have never seen before, to experience new sights and sounds. The set contains the original U.K. broadcast version, including 90 minutes of footage not aired on the Discovery Channel’s U.S. telecasts, and features narration by natural history icon David Attenborough.

This series is definitely one you must see. Lots of footage never before seen, by our eyes. The images brought forth are emotionally stirring, see animals/wildlife interacting in ways never before seen. Brilliant filming, excellent narration, see the series in order…

When I bought the DVD collection two weeks ago, I was looking forward to a high-quality wildlife documentary, but this series actually exceeded my expectations. I was knocked off my socks. It’s very likely the best natural history documentary ever produced; at least it’s the best I’ve ever seen. There is unbelievable footage in each sequel, rare animals, unseen animal behaviour, impressive stories, and beautiful areal shots. I especially liked the hi-speed and slow-mo cameras, which show, for example, a landscape changing from summer to autumn, or the Okavango delta changing from drought to flood. Much effort went into the production even after the footage was shot. The narration, dramaturgy, cuts, sound recording – everything is brilliant. The music in the film was specially composed for it. So you can enjoy this documentary not only for the images themselves, but also for the art and mastery of its production.
