Synopsis:

 

The BBC Documentary filmed over a period of seven years shows us our planet in a way it has never been seen before.

 

Brian's Rating: B : I am going to break away from the norm for this review and include this excellent made for TV (BBC) mini-series.  Although its a TV thing originally, it has since gone on to be used as icon for Blu Ray capability.  The video photography in this is simply amazing, and I cannot think of anything better to show off the video portion of a Hi Def home theater.  For instant, if you pop in the 2nd disk that has the episode on caves and you will see what contrast ratio is really good for.

Its a nature show for sure, but a darn good one.  It showcases wildlife, and ecosystems categorically (caves, polar, jungle, desert, etc.)  I found it fascinating, and would recommend it to anybody.  Although technically not a movie, I think a review of it belongs here.  I would give it higher than a B except... well... it is just a nature show, and educational material simply is not designed for A-list entertainment.
