Movie Reviews of The Living Planet - A Portrait of the Earth
Movie Review: Magnificent
Summary: 5 Stars
If made with today's technology this series would rank as the best nature series ever produced. Despite its age-related flaws (Video Quality, Soundtrack, Chopping Block), this DVD series still rates the full 5 stars. It features a younger, spryer David Attenborough exploring a planet teeming with life. Attenborough is the ultimate ecology teacher - he guides the viewer through the various biomes of the earth, picking out a variety of amazing phenomena to show us, and he lets us soak in the beauty of each realm. Rather than focusing on birds or mammals, we learn about the whole spectrum of the natural world, from fish to fungi, insects to people. The information is always interesting, and presented in modest amounts - it never becomes a bore. Buy this if you enjoyed these DVDs:

Movie Review: Excellent, but get version 2 DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
The program is EXCELLENT, and I've watched it many times on VHS. Unfortunately, the region 1 DVD has been edited and I was very disapointed to find that most of the sections had been shortened. From what I understand, the region 2 DVD is not edited. So if I had it to do over, I would buy the region 2 DVD from amazon.co.uk instead.Movie Review: The Living Planet

I took college class that required to watch video, Living Planet. My very very disapointment with it. It says cc (closed captioning) which stands for deaf viewers. I watched those DVD and guess what? Those DVD(s) do not display any closed captioning. I am deaf. It angers me very much. I feel like being betrayed by its said feature on the box.Movie Review: The content is great!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The content of this DVD is GREAT. This is the complete review of all living places on earth. Unfortunatelly, the quality of picture is like VHS, not so clean as DVD should like. That's why I give 4 stars.Movie Review: Boo Hiss Time/Warner
Summary: 4 Stars
The Living Planet Series by David Attenborough is a milestone, a benchmark in the production of nature education. What he has done is a quantum leap beyond anything else in the "nature show" category. The depth, breadth and brilliance of this series is unparralled. Unfortunately, TimeWarner got their grubby hands on it. They decided that to reorder and edit the shows so that they fit with the graphics they have chosen for the packaging. I'm not kidding! It is like they put a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Boo Hiss TimeWarner.
