Planet Earth & The Blue Planet Seas of Life (Special Collector's Edition) 
2008-07-14
This DVD series has phonomenal footage! It's a great way to learn about our wonderful earth. It also makes you realize that we need to take care of our planet so that we will be able to enjoy these miraculous creations for many years to come. The team of filmmakers did an awesome job of capturing life and wonders of our world that we would never be able to see on our own.
amazing 2008-07-07
so far our family has only watched two thirds of the first discs of this series (there are a total of ten discs), and already I can say the whole family enjoys it. (even our 7 year old who whines when we tell him we are going to watch planet earth, and not a re-run of "family guy" for the 20th time)
each segment has jaw dropping shots that make you wonder how in the world they were ever able to film that, and so far at the end of the first two episodes, there is a short segment of "planet earth diaries" that details the planning and effort that went into getting some of the shots.
one more thing to add, I have noticed several questions or comments about whether this series is narrated by david attenborough, or sigourney weaver. this package that we got from the bbc has david attenborough.
I would highly recommend this for anyone who has an interest in nature. it is so easy to develop tunnel vision and get caught up in the daily grind of commuting and working and doing household chores. this reminds us of what an amazing and delicate planet we inhabit.
Awesome DVD Series 2008-05-02
I recently bought and LCD TV and played this DVD series on it in 1080P. It was awesome! Some of the pictures they took were unbelieveable, and they even showed you how they got them with the additional footage.
Highly recommend.
Incredible photography 2008-04-23
Every bit as fantastic as advertised. Every member of the family has learned something new about our incredible planet. Great learning tool, great entertainment.
Good Series But Some DVD's Are Defective 
2008-04-16
Planet Earth set was excellent but Blue Planet Seas of Life set had some problems. Special Collector's Edition was a disappointment because 2 of the DVDs were defective; so, I sent them back for a replacement. The replacement set now had 3 defective DVD's (unreadable). Amazon did very well in replacing the set, but people in charge of quality control had to be "out to lunch". I was forced to ask for a refund.
Awesome gift

The Planet Earth 2008-04-06
Everyone should see this series. Along with being a visual feast, it is an eye-opener for those who don't yet understand how precious our earth is.
A must-buy! 2008-04-05
You will not be disappointed with this purchase. Amazing visuals, comprehensive content, with a delightful British accent! It'll probably make your life better!
A must for anybody who is interested in nature and animals 2008-03-26
I have not seen Blue Planet yet, but Planet Earth is a wonderful series. The animal photography is extraordinary and beautiful, and David Attenborough's commentary is full of interesting information. A particular blessing for me is that the commentary is not full of the, currently very common, environmentalist's "the sky is falling" doomsday messages. It presents extraordinary facts in both the pictures and commentary and leaves you thanking the photographers and David Attenborough for their extraordinary skill, and thanking the BBC for making this extraordinary series.
stunning 2008-03-15
