Format:Blu-ray
This is a good dvd with good picture and sound quality for an excellent price. A word of warning however, if you already own or are thinking of purchasing the Planet Earth boxset it should be known that the vast majority of the footage of this documentary is ripped from the Attenbrough series, and as far as the narration by Patrick Stewart is concerned, even that has been 'borrowed' from Sir David's documentaries. In conclusion The far superior and more extensive Planet Earth series is recommended over this, but for the price this is a bargain.

Format:Blu-ray
This Blu ray is amazing. Pin sharp picture, full HD 1080P. At just over an hour and a half, the film never lags, and the narration is superb by Patrick Stewart.
Just a note to those who already own the Blu Ray of 'Planet Earth' that the BBC released last year - around 10-20% of the footage appears to be either the same or similar, especially in the Polar Bear and Cubs segment.
There is enough new material to warrant a purchase, however. Watching through my PS3 console on a 42" Toshiba HD tv and the picture is pretty much pin-sharp in every scene, unlike the Planet Earth release that was a mixture of standard and high definition and often looked it!

Format:DVD
Although the Earth DVD does indeed contain breathtaking natural history footage, it is merely a selection of scenes and outtakes from the recent Planet Earth series with a different narrator (Patrick Stewart). And yet the sleeve notes seem to imply that it's a completely new package: "Five years in the making, filmed in 200 locations in 21 different countries, the production of Earth took 40 specialist crews, involved thousands of hours of footage and 250 days of aerial photography".
Five years in the making? 40 specialist crews? Hmmm... Earth was clearly put together quickly and cheaply in an editing room - it is no more than a shortened, watered down, inferior version of Planet Earth.
I'm afraid I'm giving this only one star because of the dishonest, misleading packaging! Sales and marketing guys - dontcha just love 'em... :-(

As many other reviewers have mentioned, this is footage from prior BBC spectacles, edited down into what is very generously described as a "film". Read more

This was a brilliant documentary. It makes you wonder why Patrick Stewart does not narrate more programmes, as he is really good at it.
