blu ray
As of this writing I have only previewed each disc in the collection. “Planet Earth” comes w/4 discs and is displayed in 1080 Progressive Scan. The remaining discs in the collection are in 1080i, however, I can see no remarkable difference. There is, however, a marked difference between DVD and Blu-Ray. This collection needs to be seen in Bluray to fully appreciate it’s potential. So far, all discs are of the highest quality and interestingly narrated; As good as, or better, than the very best nature documentary one has ever seen on television. Well worth the price for the amount of high-quality footage (over 1000 minutes); Can easily be viewed more than once, especially by children…There is no price difference whether you buy these sets individually or in this box set—this way, though, they come in their individually marked plastic cases, and all 4 boxes fit into the pictured cardboard case.
Why I bought a Blu Ray
Being a photographer and a lover of nature, animals, and culture I decided to gift myself the new HDTV, Blu Ray and this collection of documentaries for my birthday. I am incredibly pleased with everything I have watched and appreciate the cinematography, writing and narration that went into the making of this series. I have found all the shows so far to be fascinating, informative, even calming and relaxing after a hard day at work. I am humbled by the majesty of our world and feel blessed to experience those parts of it where I may never have a chance to visit.
Great boxed set of great programs!
I don’t understand the reasoning behind the other review of 2 stars. Yes it is a boxed set of each of the programs that you can also buy separately, but isn’t that the definition of a box set? I have seen each of these programs, and they are all excellent! BBC always delivers great documentaries. Planet Earth and Galapagos are a must!
