is it any good? is it worth the money im really considering buying it cuz I love stuff about the enviroment lol sh*t that will scare me about the earths future
lol is it that gorgeous? my tv has 1080i and 720p which should i run it in? lol but is it a quality experience should i get it or no explain!FF-resevil-halo
1080i And yes. Planet Earth is worth it. It's beautiful.
Planet Earth is a incredible experience. Everything looks so beautiful on my 42' plasma at 720p so I say play it at 720p. 1080i looks the same but i just hve my ps3 set to 720p.
well wtf now Ive been told 1080i then 720p if i am in fact going to buy this expensive thing then i wanna watch it as best i can 1080i or 720p ahhhh, and finally its a consensus pick that i should buy it?
Buy it, 1080i because I think all Blu Rays only show at 1080i or 1080p. And get it off amazon because its cheaper. Don't get the American version with Sigourney weaver. She can't narrate.

The general consensus is that it is best to output the video at the native resolution of your display. You say that your display is both 1080i and 720p. If you have a Blu-Ray disc in your posession then you should be able to answer the question for yourself by simply changing the resolution that the PS3 outputs. Which resolution looks better to you?

All Blu-Ray discs are encoded at 1080p. In the case of the OP, what they are displayed at is totally dependent on what the player is set to output.

If you especially like animals and enviroments filmed in mind blowing ways. Then sure. Though many people have hyped the video quality to be really good. It's not perfect. There are a noticable amount of scenes that have grain.... Otherwise the video qualit is top notch...

I would recommend renting it, especially if you have never seen it. If you can't find the Blu-Ray version, then rent the regular DVD. I have seen it on both Discovery HD Theater and Blu-Ray. It is really quite an amazing achievement. If you enjoy nature documentaries you will really enjoy this one. Be warned that it is not filmed entirely in HD, and those segments, while not frequent, do stand out.
NiHMMMMMMM withthe quality info again lol, nah im feeling like an impulse buy and this is looking good, i really enjoy most discovery channel programming and believe i have flipped on to this show before and was interested.

Nothing is perfect and it says on the back not every scene was shot with an HD camera.
Just watch the Plains episode where the pride of lions get so hungry they attack the baby elephant. It's sick as ****. But the best one by far is shallow seas where they show the great white eating a seal whole. WOW, even though they replay it 4 times for you, I still rewind it 10 times.

I know but I swear it was at least 50 minutes of it. Which, while it isn't a large portion of the total video, is a very annoying amount to have to see basically every half hour just when you were getting use to how good the video actually was...
It's out in the US before here... The BBC have always been a bunch of idiots.DanC1989
Where is "here" for you? Not the UK is it? Since they were showing this stuff over there a long time before over here in the US.
And thank god we don't have to listen to Sigourney Weaver on the Blu-ray (which you do on Discovery). I don't know why, but documentaries such as these (nature, wildlife etc.) don't sound right unless there is a british accent narrating them lol.
[QUOTE="FF-resevil-halo"]how much mention of global warming is there?gizmo_logix
I think there is one section about protecting the earth (haven't gotten there yet) but yeah the regular episodes are just about the earth.
Amazing series.
What disc? 1,2,3,4? Hmm it appears I may be mistaken. I kept seeing htem on discovery channel so I assumed they were on the disk. Apparently these are new episodes in addition to the original 11, called "Planet Earth: The Future" you can read more about them here:
