Life

Only aliens bent on conquering our planet and strip-mining it for resources would not like this.

The photography is even more impressive than Planet Earth's, although slightly less naturalistic. But the most lasting impression for me may be an increased appreciation for the incredible complexity of animal societies. A must-see even for those who might be put off by the frequent animal-on-animal violence.

The best blu-ray purchase you can possibly make. Life is a wonderful, beautiful and breathtaking series.

Just as good as Planet Earth. Not that I can tell them apart.

I still prefer Planet Earth but this is beautifully filmed and is interesting all the way through.

What makes the best Attenborough series so great is not just the quality of the photography (here surpassing PLANET EARTH) but the effort to locate and record in really incredible ways the most remarkable examples used to illustrate the presenter's points. The scientific content itself is inherently limited by the very large scope of the program, but the material is in general fascinating, although the viewer inevitably wonders how long many of the species have left. Blu-ray preferable to DVD.

As usual, a very well-made nature documentary straight from the BBC. Great music and concise stories about various animals. The cinematography isn’t quite as good as in Planet Earth though.

One of the most ambitious nature documentaries to date, Life could force even the most bored biology student to have a new appreciation for the beauty of the world in which we live.

Somehow even better than Planet Earth, with even more stunning photography, more interesting animals on display and a better and more cohesive format. Don't trust anyone who doesn't like this: they're not of our world.
