Baraka wins for AQ no sweat. Comparing a documentary with an Art movie with a moving score just isnt fair. Planet Earths AQ is just fine for what it is designed to do.

PQ is another area where I wouldnt make a comparison. Baraka is a 70mm film and has a beautifull film look. Planet Earth has IMHO an equally beautifull look, albeit very different. PE looks like what it is, a documentary. There are flaws to be found in some of the more difficult to shoot scenes, however, the overall presentation is so fantastic that it is easy for me to forgive these occasional technical anomalies.

Baraka: 5 stars
Planet Earth: 5 stars

Thanks. Based on your analysis, I will go for Baraka. "Baraka is a 70mm film and has a beautifull film look." - This must be very good, much better than first gen HD video cameras, most likely post converted to 24P.
