A Brilliant Conflict

The production value is absolutely amazing and is so informative. You honestly can't believe what your watching because it doesn't seem possible. The shots they do are so creative and is well worth the time. A must watch for everyone.

The original TV show consists of 11 hour long episodes of some of the most stunning nature cinematography and harrowing real life-and-death struggles. One should definitely get the British version with David Attenborough narrating to get that old nature documentary feel. The scope is global and the visuals are cinematic. It is a thing of utter beauty. There are 3 additional episodes called Planet Earth: The Future and it's best to avoid those. It's a lot of talking heads saying the same thing from slightly different angles. I understand the motive to push for nature conservation but pushing too hard comes off as being preachy. There is greater power to show the beauty of nature. One can always insert the ugliness of human destruction without having talking heads drone on about it. The original 11 episodes are as close to perfection as TV nature documentaries can get.

This series is probably one of the best series I have ever watched. This fascinating documentary drags me in every time I watch it. David Attenborough's way of explaining of how creatures breed, eat etc is like no other before, he's the best wildlife narrator that will ever live. They spent five years on this wildlife, and I think that it was definitely worth it. It is the most expensive nature documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC, and it was the first ever in high definition. So really, it set the bar for high picture quality. The BBC did it perfectly in the way of organising it for the episodes, it just flowed perfectly. There won't be another nature documentary like this one.So if you don't watch it, you're missing out massively.

Most people spend the whole day in their house, in their office building, and in their car. We rarely look outside to see how beautiful the world really is. Planet Earth explores all the amazing things in nature that we don't have time to see for ourselves. It takes you on a journey from deep in the ocean, to the top of mountains. You see things you couldn't have imagined to exist. There are fish that light up like glow sticks and worms that make a cave's ceiling look like the night sky. Unless you explore the world yourself and actually see this kind of stuff in person, you don't want to miss this amazing series. This isn't one of your average nature shows that you fall asleep to, this is real stuff happening on Earth right now and it will amaze you like nothing else has before.
