Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series - Blu-ray Forum

Zarathustra · 08-23-2007, 02:59 PM

Is it really worth $66.95? I'm interested in buying it but just want to make sure it is a must have and does it look Blu worthy?

I have a 1080i display...if that helps in the decision

I don't have this on blu-ray, but it is totally worth it. The series is just amazing and some scenes are just out of this world, yet its all filmed right on earth

I am in the middle of watching the Blu-Ray release - and it is truly incredible, beautiful, and a masterpiece!!! This is a MUST HAVE for any HD enthusiast.

It is the most incredible documentary I've ever seen.

And the HD video quality is fantastic.

Thank you, I'll be purchasing this within the next 24 hours. I can't wait to get it now

Besides the narration is there a difference between the US and BBC versions? Doesn't the BBC version have more footage?

This is an absolutely spectacular documentary film, one that is really touching and that inspires serious thought about the future of our planet.

It is very true to life/graphic insofar as predator and prey are concerned and I could see where some of those scenes could frighten/disturb small children.

Yes, the BBC version runs approx. 530 minutes vs. the US version at 480 minutes.

Also, the US version is presented in 1080i/AVC MPEG-4 encode, compared to the 1080p/VC-1 on the BBC version.

BBC all the way.
