This landmark series uses specialist imaging and compelling narrative to tell the life story of our planet how it works and what makes it so special. Examining the great forces that shape the Earth - volcanoes the ocean the atmosphere and ice - the programme explores their central roles in our planet's story. How do these forces affect the Earth's landscape its climate and its history? CGI gives the audience a ringside seat at these great events while the final episode brings together all the themes of the series and argues that Earth is an exceptionally rare kind of planet - giving us a special responsibility to look after our unique world. This is a series that shows the Earth in new and surprising ways. Extensive use of satellite imagery reveals new views of our planet while timelapse filmed over many months brings the planet to life. Offering a balance between dramatic visuals and illuminating facts this ground-breaking series makes global science truly compelling.Episodes:DISC 1 - 1: Volcano 2: Atmosphere 3: IceDISC 2 - 4: Oceans 5: Rare EarthSystem Requirements:Running Time: 230 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: TELEVISION/BBC UPC: 883929026050 Manufacturer No: 1000039820

Summary: A must have!
Comment: Hi there, first of all I have to say "wow"!
Ordered from germany (the bluray is "regional code free") I received the disc within 1,5 weeks! Thanx to Amazon US!
If you like "Planet Earth" and other highly produced doku's from the BBC you have to order this great view of the "EARTH"! Five different titles - from "Volcanos" via "Ice" to "Rare Earth" brings you the permanent changing wonder's of our great planet a bit closer! A good narrator, highly quality pictures mixed with great computer simulations, that's all what my (your) Full HD panel need!

Summary: 2 Stars for presentation only - the rest is science guess work, speculative nonsense
Comment: Yes, a great looking documentary without a shadow of a doubt. But as is the case in any film which attempts to travel back in time - it's unreliable. What they teach as truth today will be thrown out of the window tomorrow. The fact is: Nobody was there 4 billion years ago and it's all guesswork on the evidence they have NOW.
It will have you believe that ALL scientists agree that this was the way it all happened, but it gives you absolutely no clue that the scientific community is completely split.
But again we are asked to worship at the alter of these great scientists who know everything, who are we to argue? So long as these productions keep people brainwashed with flashing lights and handy camerawork, it's all good for the sad demi-gods who arrogantly assume to know everything.
Complete garbage.

Summary: Beautiful Photography/Videography
Comment: It's really a beautiful series on the origins of the earth and life as we know it. My only negative is that the author's hypotheses are presented as sound facts, as opposed to best guess and conjecture.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too much on ecology, too little on geology!
Comment: I like the title, no question about that. But, I prefer to see more comprehensive coverage on geology, the true Earth biography, than ecology. For example, there are three types of volcano: Cinder Cone, Composite, and Shield. There is no mentioning of that in the Volcano section. I watched the entire Weather section, didn't see rock cycle or cloud types. The hot spot underneath Yellowstone is the same as the one under Hawaii. A type of its hot spring bacteria helps the explosion of DNA application and human genome project through something called polymerase chain reaction. It would be more exciting to include that. All the 3D computer graphic images and animation are great! I love them! If this series would added more formal science such as geology, meteorology and paleontology, offers more comprehensive presentation on major subjectives of each discipline, it would become more useful to students than just the general audiences.
