Excellent, fresh, never before seen footage of some of the most amazing places underwater! Great addition to the Planet Earth collection.

This is a sensational documentary of life in the sea. Certainly the best I've seen in a long time. Well organized and incredible photography.

I use parts of it in a class on oceanography to demonstrate life in the ocean in a way that is impossible to describe in a lecture.

Spellbinding and good for all ages.

I hesitated for a long time before making this purchase...now I know I should have bought this instead of something else. I can ignore the 'facts' about the age of the corals etc...this documentary is truly inspiring, uplifting and eye-opening. Sea creatures I never thought possible, amusing mating styles, and much more...and the narrator is excellent. Relaxing end of day edutainment for me...I'll be watching these over and over again. Thanks BBC.

The potential of this beautifully filmed show is seriously tarnished by the preachy 'humans suck' message. I get enough of this in my daily life. I'd rather not have it fed to me in every single movie, TV show, etc... that I watch. I watch these things to get away from reality for a few minutes...

I first saw Blue Planet on the Discovery channel... years ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. It is one of the most beautifully filmed documentaries and I think only Planet Earth (ironically) surpasses it in that beauty. I have also always loved David Attenborough, who has a way of really bringing the majesty of whatever you are watching into your home. This series is educational and beautiful to the point of tears. This is a must for any DVD library and I would highly recommend Planet Earth as well.
