Wouldn't buy this if I had seen before
I bought this walking through the airport, expecting it to be one of the collection of BBC programmes. Got back to my home country, popped it in, and was very dissapointed. Quality did not seem to be up to blu-ray standard of picture quality.
My own fault, I believe I mistook this product for "The Blue Planet - Seas of Life", which I have not seen thus far, but I believe is up to the standard of the BBC programmes. In comparison to the BBC line of Blu-rays available, this Blue Planet pales in comparison (not 100% certain that this is not part of the BBC line, but just by comparison of the quality, it definitely does not seem to be).
For really stunning visuals, great narration, entertaining and suitable soundtrack, and an enjoyable, engrossing learning experience, get Planet Earth, and the remaining BBC line - Galapogos, Wild China, Ganges.

Beautiful Images...
This is a great video and a must-have for any HD nut out there... unfortunately HD-DVD lost the format war but it can still be purchased on Blu-Ray.

Not what I expected
After watching and loving the Planet Earth movies I got this one for my husband. It is interesting, but not nearly as well done as the Planet Earth movies. I lost interest and had a hard time following some of the shots they were talking about from space. It's ok, informational but if you want to get something REALLY good - get Planet Earth!

Rent it
Don't buy this one, just rent it. It's not that entertaining and I would stick to Planet Earth and The Blue Planet (Not this one, but it has the same title).

Lots of pretty pictures
Finally a presentation of nature with out lots of animals eating animals. This is a short 42 minute NASA advertisement with much of the film shot from the space shuttle. Just as we see how beautiful things look from a distance we are browbeat as contributors to global warming. Over and Over again. Turn the sound off and it is pretty good.
Just a side note this film made in 1990 must have seen Blu-ray in mind as it is ahead of its time. The picture is sharp even at 46". I suspect it was re-mastered.

You can do better...
I purchased this as one of the my first HD DVDs. The videography is wonderful, but this production seemed more like an infomercial for NASA and not something I'd watch more than once.
Probably not a fair comparison, but after buying the Planet Earth set, I have no desire to look at this DVD again.

Blue Planet (IMAX) [Blu-ray]
I bought the Blue-ray disc just for the 2nd feature on the disc: "The Dream is Alive". I (still) have the "original" release on Laserdisc and this Blue-ray disc is finally replacing it. Yes - it is dated (1985) but was has really changed with the shuttle? The launches are still gripping including the night one. Amazing images and now in theater quality on my 52-inch. And those 2 sonic booms at the beginning still make things rattle in the house.

Blue Planet
Since I love Astronomy, I enjoyed the documentary. I can't wait for the one about the ISS or even the Milky Way Galaxy.
