OUTSTANDING SHOW! OUTSTANDING BLU-RAY ADDITION!
29 Mar 2009
Format:Blu-ray
I've been a fan of Sunrise Earth since I discovered it a few years ago on Discovery HD. Back then I used to try to save as many episodes as I could on the HD cable DVR. That proved to be stressful because HD shows eat a lot of space, even with the external hard drive. It was hard to decide which ones to save and let go.
Now it has arrived on Blu-ray in all its 1080 HD glory. On my Sony 46" LCD, the shots look slightly cleaner on disc than they do on the channel (no compression or pixelation). It is 5.1 surround-sound camera mic recording too. Great photos on each disc in the collection too.
When there's a movie or a show you really love, nothing's better than owning a physical copy of it in the best resolution possible!
They is another collection called "Sunrise Earth:American Sunrises"! It was released in late 2007. I will be looking forward to getting that one on Blu-ray too. For some reason it's DVD format-only at most places except the Discovery website.
This is nature as it was intended - no talking, no music other than natures own. Great way to unwind, mellow out, take your shoes off and CHILL. You will feel like you are at each location for the whole duration of the sunrise.

Fantastic Environments at your Fingertips on Blu-ray
3 Mar 2009
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sunrise Earth is really a great idea. Packaged Environments have been available in the past on sound and video recordings. The absence of narration is the key attraction. Many wonderful nature and wildlife documentaries have interesting voice-overs but when I'm watching and hearing a gorgeous bit of scenery, the commentaries often seem Superfluous and even rude. I began enjoying Sunrise Earth shows on HDTV and filled up my DVR every other day. I bought my first set on DVD and got the Seaside collection in BD and it is one of the reasons I got into Blu-ray.
The episodes are all a bit less than an hour each; they start at first light and continue as the local lights up with the sun. Some of it is jaw dropping but much is subtile. I have seen better A/V quality on things like Planet Earth but the quality is excellent and the content is truly unique. There are almost never people in the picture. Just nature. The sound is only Dolby Digital but it is good enough to put you in the picture. If you like nature you'll find these a great experience. I have a lot of discs 'like' these; but Sunrise Earth gets played the most.
Also available on DVD, HDDVD and BD and single episodes are available. Check you HighDef TV programing and catch a few. Read about it on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_Earth

great collection
27 Jan 2009
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sunrise Earth is an unusual program... films are without background music or narration, only sounds are those which naturally occur on location at the time of filming.
As another reviewer pointed out it is NOT a documentary.
It is an incredibly immersive and relaxing experience to watch these films, especially in blu-ray. It is something like video meditation, best enjoyed alone in a quite place. The first time I saw this on TV I thought, Who would want to watch this for and HOUR?!!!
But if you want to watch something to unwind with after a tough day this is the best programing available.
There are other collections available on blu-ray also that highlight other locations.
