Planet Earth : Complete BBC Series [HD DVD]
£34.75
Picture quality is outstanding - The Planet earth series is an amazing collection of video footage that only the BBC seem to be able to capture in so much detail.5 Disc collection in HD DVD.The HD DVD is stunning, the best HD DVD I have seen, on this format and blu-ray, colour s are bright, water is crystal clear and close up details is stunning. Sound via Dolby Digital is very good, subtle enough to make you feel part of the wildness. A DVD worth every penny, it is education, enjoyable and amazing.
Superb value for money - This is a great set and superb value for money in HDDVD format. I especially appreciated the film about the snow leopard, it was very informative. Some of the filming is superb and it s great to see the BBC can still come up with new angles on an old subject. The great white shark leaping from the water after seals is awesome.At the price it s a bargain.
it is 1080p but the bbc box says 1080i - goodness knows what the bbc are playing at but they have labelled all their mini series ( bleak house, planet earth, 20,000 streets ) etc as 1080i on the box set when in fact it is full 1080p - I just checked it on my blu-ray/hd-dvd drive on my PC using Nero Showtime which gives you full technical details of all the dics you play and it is full 1080p on the four feature discs and the 5th bonus disc of features is 1080i.just which idiot decided to label it as this remains a mystery.
Fascinating - A great series, presented spectacularly. David Attenburghs enthusiasm remains infectious throughout, and the team have gone to extreme lengths to achieve some of the most stunning shots you will ever see in a nature documentary.Personally however, I m not a fan of camera men and techy folk droning on about all the sacrifices they made to achieve the footage. I suppose it s meant to increase our appreciation of what we have seen, but instead seems a little egotistical. As talented as they undoubtedly are, I bought planet earth to find out about planet earth, not to listen to some bloke bang on about how he missed christmas day to sit and freeze to death in some remote corner of the earth. That said, the series is both fascinating and moving (I still struggle to watch the lions hunting an elephant), and the series really does capture a certain wow factor that there are places like this on our planet. Well worth a look.
Mmmm 1080 dpi HDMI ok sauce garlic dip - Techno babble aside , this is a wonder to watch and brilliantly filmed series. I only got disc one on rental but will be looking to buy it once I can get it a little cheaper. Rent before you buy and see for yourself , forget the pixel count or how hi low def it gets just enjoy!!!
