Not what I expected

2008-07-17
After watching and loving the Planet Earth movies I got this one for my husband. It is interesting, but not nearly as well done as the Planet Earth movies. I lost interest and had a hard time following some of the shots they were talking about from space. It's ok, informational but if you want to get something REALLY good - get Planet Earth!

Rent it

Don't buy this one, just rent it. It's not that entertaining and I would stick to Planet Earth and The Blue Planet (Not this one, but it has the same title).

Lots of pretty pictures

Finally a presentation of nature with out lots of animals eating animals. This is a short 42 minute NASA advertisement with much of the film shot from the space shuttle. Just as we see how beautiful things look from a distance we are browbeat as contributors to global warming. Over and Over again. Turn the sound off and it is pretty good.

Just a side note this film made in 1990 must have seen Blu-ray in mind as it is ahead of its time. The picture is sharp even at 46". I suspect it was re-mastered.

You can do better...

I purchased this as one of the my first HD DVDs. The videography is wonderful, but this production seemed more like an infomercial for NASA and not something I'd watch more than once.

Probably not a fair comparison, but after buying the Planet Earth set, I have no desire to look at this DVD again.

From the unique vantage point of 200 miles above Earth's surface we see how natural forces - volcanoes earthquakes and hurricanes - affect our world and how a powerful new force - humankind - has begun to alter the face of the planet. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth our only home.Running Time: 42 min.Format: DVD HD Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST UPC: 794051815026 Manufacturer No: X8150

Blue Planet

Since I love Astronomy, I enjoyed the documentary. I can't wait for the one about the ISS or even the Milky Way Galaxy.

Go with Planet Earth

Its got a great picture but the content is less than desireable. Its short and its not even close to what "Planet Earth offers in the realm of content.

Blue Planet [Blu-Ray]

I was disappointed in this product. It was not what I expected. I was hoping it was the same (Blue Planet) program that is available on DVD.

Too Short and Too Old

The Blue Planet is a beautiful viewing but not worth the money for only 40 min of film. It is good enough for repeat watch. Max price should of been about $15.00.
The second film, A Dream is Alive, was made in 1985 and is way outdated. This was a year before the Challenger explosion. Not worth watching.
