A marvelous documentary about our home planet: Earth. Truly remarkable. I could watch this series forever.

If you don't like this, get the hell off of my planet, jerk!

Visually amazing...but a little dry at times

beautiful

The soothing voice of David Attenborough + beautiful photography of our amazing planet = perfection

Eerily good documentary series.

Gawd bless the BBC govna.

The zenith of its genre. It does for nature what Busby Berkeley did for women: overwhelm you with as many as possible, in once-in-a-lifetime recorded moments, in grand, gorgeous environments, that eventually your brain shuts off trying to cope with it all, and all you see is beauty.

A beautifully rendered cinematic experience of the truly majestic quality of nature. Although not as educational or objective on our potential role as nature's protectors, it nevertheless delivers some of the most stunning film of the wild to date. Attenborough is a true champion of looking beyond our own race and at the creatures with which we share the planet, his enthusiasm and passion for doing this having universal reach (excluding the US, for whom narration by an actor is sufficient).

Once again, David Attenborough and the BBC Natural History unit outdo themselves with the most ambitious, epic and brilliantly executed documentary of life on Earth to date. Every part is considered and even-handed in painstaking detail without ever losing sight of either the bigger picture or the sheer wonder of nature itself. A must-see.

poetic.

If you liked this - and how could you not? - watch BBC's Wild China. There are about a million "how did they get this amazing shot?" moments. What a fascinating, diverse, and seemingly alien world we live in.

Probably the greatest argument that America is a barbaric land is that they felt the need to redo Attenborough's narration.

An absolute epic series. What Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" is to the universe, Planet Earth is to our pale blue dot. These guys truly knew they were making something magnificent and their hard work and dedication really payed off. Every single shot is beautiful and leaves you completely breathless.

One of the most impressive nature documentaries ever made. It looks absolutely stunning, Attenborough's narration is engaging and every episode is well constructed both as a self contained examination of its own topic and as a piece of the larger puzzle of life on earth.

Beautiful.

Breathtaking series, probably the most comprehensive and epic documentary ever to cover all the aesthetics of our planet. Worth the watch if you ever get the chance.

P much everyone in the world should be watching this.

This is what I mean when I say that there is something like an aesthetic appreciation of nature. Rejoice everywhere!

I'm not sure the narration is sufficient to elevate this above nature porn, but it's certainly the Sistine chapel of nature porn.

Very impressive nature series narrated by Attenborough that should be seen on Blu-ray rather than DVD. Scientific content is middling, as these very large-scale series tend to summarise and survey topics rather than delving too deeply into the complex biological details. But what it does it does extremely well. The viewer's appreciation is almost inevitably tempered by a sense that the series may be documenting the remarkable complexity of a biodiversity that may have a very finite future.
