Summary: A testimony to earth's grandeur
Comment: This was the best filming of this subject that I have seen. It was fascinating and educational: I didn't know what fierce hunters Killer Whales are. The filming of two of their brutal hunts is graphically honest. The unimaginable beauty of the biofluorescence of certain deep water life is hypnotic to watch. The biology of teeming life in the boiling temperatures near the hydrothermal ocean vents is amazing. There is even a brine LAKE on the ocean floor!
This four-part series would be a wonderful addition to everyone's nature DVD collection as it would be suitable for chldren and adults alike. What a lovely gift this would be.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: It is a magnificent documentary -- perhaps the best I have ever seen on nature.
The beauty of the scenes is inspiring -- and the sections on feeding and survival, quite moving. The swirling balls of herring and sardine illuminated by the sun are fascinating -- though portends of mortal danger.
Nature can both generous and ruthless.
I was impressed once again that whales -- who should be at the top of the food chain -- actually survive on very primitive plant and animal life -- plankton and krill. Most of the rest of the sealife -- not to mention mankind itself -- is not so civilized.

Summary: An amazing suspension of belief
Comment: A science fiction fantasy told and presented as reality. Which doesn't seem like much until you realize this *is* reality. Unearthly creations both monstrous and spellbinding, painstakingly caught on video and presented in the comfort of your living room. No prior knowledge of undersea life is necessary to enjoy this visual feast. Even my 5 and 7 year-old children find this video as fascintating as those about dinasours.
By the way, I brought this DVD series after reading the book of the same name. The book obviously goes into more detail but both are a highly recommended addition to your library.

Summary: Marvelous,excellent and Surprising!
Comment: I didn't know what was the big thing about it when I was watching the commercials for it but when I finally got the chance to see it I was atonished.It's unbelievable the beauty of nature. Some many species hidden in the deep blue sea that we never imagined they existed.The narration was great.It was quite well done and the whole crew deserves credit for the good job they made.
While watching this you'll see we're nothing in this world.The world is much more of what your eyes can see and even your mind.This DVD would be your passage for a world you never knew it existed....a Blue Planet.
