This is a well thought out , well filmed , well scripted film .
No slap , Bang , Wallop Editing here .
You get enough time to enjoy , each and every , wonderous Scene .
this Blu Ray Film is for me the Bench Mark Blu Ray disc and is superior to all the BBC BLU RAY Discs currently available .
The Setting sun scenes towards the end of the Disc are , BEAUTIFUL BEYOND DESCRIPTION .
BELIVE ME ! I MEAN IT , I AM HARD TO PLEASE , so when I say that it must be good .
I showed it to a few friends who were , stunned By the quality of the Picture .

This must rank as one of the few most beautiful videos ever made. The shots are stunning, each an individual masterpiece. The camera often holds on each scene while the animals move across the frame. The experience is just like standing on the ice and snow of Antarctica, overwhelmed by the beauty. A very, very moving experience. The video can be played either with or without narration - we chose the latter because it intensifies the experience. Buy it - you won't regret it for a moment!

As a showcase for your HD system this is the perfect blu ray.
As a documentary film it's also very watchable. By default the DVD plays with just music but there is also a commentary track which you can switch on. The music is a nicely inobtrusive new age soundtrack overlaid on the nature sounds. I haven't tried the commentary.
Packaging is bog standard with one disk and no booklet.
The images are incredibly sharp with no visible grain. There are moments when the screen is filled with lots of detail (e.g. thousands of penguins) when I did get the impression that I was seeing artifacts but it's nothing too bad.
Recommended.

The real 'wow' of HD is this stunning picture quality
The main use for this gentle 90-minute footage of penguins, sealions and icebergs is to show off your new HD TV. Read more

quality but dull
this will show off your hd tv better than any film out at the moment but must say i was bored after 10 mins of watching not in the blue planet league for content that's for sure

Received the disc after a bit of a wait. Got to say I thought the short documentaries are excellent, the main documentary is great too. Read more
