Planet Earth on Blu Ray and HD DVD Review

The acclaimed Planet Earth series from Discovery
HD Theater is available in the "store" on the
www.discovery.com web site for $79.95 in both
Blu Ray and HD DVD format. It is a Four Disc
set and includes the following segments:

Disc 1
  1. Pole to Pole
  2. Mountains
  3. Deep Ocean
  4. Behind the Scenes

Disc 2

  1. Deserts
  2. Ice Worlds
  3. Shallow Seas

Disc 3

  2. Jungles
  3. Fresh Water

Disc 4

  1. Seasonal Forests
  2. Caves

Planet Earth is an 11 part series that was originally broadcast on Discovery HD Theater channel narrated by Sigourney Weaver. I purchased the Blu Ray Disc and it is stunning. The color, clarity and sound is amazing. Planet Earth takes the audience around the globe with a view of nature as never seen before. Species of animal and fish mating rituals, hunting, and feeding never captured on film are presented. The camera takes the viewer on a journey from pole to pole across mountain peaks to deepest oceans to rain forests to arid deserts and across the African plains. Excellent family viewing and a must have HD production.
