Insightful. We have Continued to Expand our Video Collection by the BBC . I purchased an 80 inch TV JUST to GET the MOST SPECTACULAR Video Experience Possible. Jared ThomasReviewed in the United States on July 10, 2022 5.0 out of 5 stars Demo QualityVerified purchase This is what you put on the TV when you want to show off the true capabilites of 4K and HDR. Drone footage is breathtaking. Shweet PotatoReviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019 5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular and touching, highlights the new roles of today’s humans in natureVerified purchase If you were as big a fan of the first Planet Earth series as I was, you will not be disappointed by this series released 10 years after the original. Like that one, this series also required years to film and the heroic effort of the wildlife film crews was completely worthwhile.
Thank goodness for the intrepid souls willing to bear long stretches in inhospitable conditions in order to capture some of the most jaw-dropping footage you're likely to ever see. I have no doubt the breathtaking imagery will inspire a new generation of up-and-coming nature lovers to do their part as the new stewards of the planet. 2 people found this helpful ChrisReviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022 3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't come with a digital editionVerified purchase I bought it thinking like all the other 4k purchases I've made, there would be a digital edition included. Nope. Still, the picture quality is amazing, so I'm not gonna one star it because I didn't read well. Solid 3 stars. 5 if it'd have a 4k streaming option included. Dr. D123Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2017 5.0 out of 5 stars Great 4K programs to show off 4K beautyVerified purchase Great nature series, particularly in 4K. I would rate this the second-best program to "wow" your friends with the beauty of 4K. I would rate Flight of the Butterflies as the most impressive 4K program available now to demonstrate 4K (it also comes with a 3-D version). As for Planet Earth II the visuals are very stunning in both clarity and variety. You KNOW you are watching 4K here and it's a great nature series. Yes, some would prefer an American narrator over a British one (David Attenborough pronounces the animal seb-ra and not zeeb-ra as most Americans would say it), but I find his narration is still very good. Let me address some controversies that other reviewers have raised: 1. Some reviewers have implied that this series is not in 4K. It definitely IS in 4K and that goes for all 6 episodes! While watching I kept hitting "Info" on my player and it showed the resolution was 4K throughout all six episodes with no exceptions. Planet Earth I is not in 4K. Planet Earth II is in 4K. My guess is that some are new to 4K and are sending the Blu-ray player cable through an amp which cuts out 4K capabilities (you must send the signal directly to the TV in most setups to see a program in 4K and not 1080), or they have a Samsung One Connect box that will not allow them to watch anything in 4K without upgrading the box (see my review of the One Connect box for more details). 2. Some reviewers have stated that this program is really a rehash of Planet Earth I, but in 4K. For the most part, these reviewers are correct. I estimate that at least 40% of the six episodes are the same material as found in Planet Earth I except it is filmed in 4K. They actually shot Planet Earth I in 4K, but released it as a 1080 program because 4K players were not out when Planet Earth I had its debut. Later, they edited the original material again for Planet Earth II. From here on out, I'll probably focus on the 4K version, but will occasionally listen to Planet Earth I. I still consider it valuable to buy Planet Earth II even if you have Planet Earth I, but mainly for those who have a 4K TV and 4K Blu-ray player or anticipate buying these shortly. Otherwise you might not need the Planet Earth II version and should stick with Planet Earth I. 4 people found this helpful Kristin B.Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017 5.0 out of 5 stars We Love the Planet Earth Series!Verified purchase My husband and I purchased [[ASIN:B003ZUXZCC Planet Earth]] years ago and enjoyed it so much, we immediately purchased this set as soon as we heard about it! We buy Blu Rays whenever there are a lot of beautiful landscapes and nature scenes so that's the version we bought for this one. Planet Earth II is the second installment in the Planet Earth series. It's narrated by David Attenborough who also narrated the first one. The Blu Ray edition contains two discs for a total of six episodes. Here is a list of the episode titles since I didn't see them listed anywhere in the product description: 1. Islands In total, these discs run about 300 minutes. Each episode is about 50 minutes long with an additional 10 minutes each of "Planet Earth II Diaries," which talks about how the crews had to work to get the footage they did. Some parts of them were pretty funny too! My husband and I enjoy watching an episode at night after the kids go to bed. Since they are about an hour long, it's doable to watch one every chance we get. We loved this series and the breathtaking views we saw! I love David Attenborough's voice because it's very soothing and easy to listen to, plus I just love British accents. I love music too and really enjoyed the instrumentals in this series. After looking at the credits, I discovered the music is composed by Hans Zimmer who has composed music for a lot of movies. This series is mostly about the animals that inhabit the six different areas shown and we learned some new information. Most of all, we got to see views of places we've never been before! We absolutely loved this series and were sad to finish the last episode but we can just start over again and watch one when we want to. The Planet Earth series never disappoint us and we are so happy we bought it. This would make a great gift for someone else or for yourself! 10 people found this helpful See all reviewsDoes Netflix have Earth 2?The follow-up to the most ambitious nature documentary ever is now streaming.
