Summary: Wonder-full Viewing
Review: ...Truth be told, the second set has no episode as stunning as the Deep Seas in the first set, or as beautiful as the Polar Seas. However, the four episodes match the first four in the depth of information offered, beauty of their photography (how often did I oscillate between "How beautiful!" and "How...did they shoot that?"), and the marvelous narration and production values.As with the first set, each disk has a ten-minute "making of" short, and an in-depth interview with a member of the production staff. Disk 4 also has an hour-long bonus program, "Deep Trouble", which describes how fishing is ravaging the seas. That alone is worth the price of the disk. I cannot recommend the four Blue Planet DVDs too highly. Buy them. Enjoy. Share with your family. Marvel at the beauty they show - and the superb craftsmanship with which they were made.

Summary: Ground-breaking!
Review: All other documentaries should aspire to the level of that of the Blue Planet series. By far the most impressive documentary ever put together! Even though the Discovery Channel re-airs these programs; the high quality of DVD sound and audio make this worth paying for it.

Summary: Id give it 6 if I could
Review: AMAZING dvd..The colour is just out of this world w/o a high Def TV. The footage makes the viewer feel like they're actually there..DEFINITELY worth buying as well as seasonal seas/coral seas..I couldnt decide which one to get so I bought them both and highly recommend them :)
Oh and they have behind the scenes footage for each section (so two BTS per DVD) very interesting to see how much effort and energy was invested!!!

Summary: Jaw-dropping underwater footage
Review: I was amazed at the quality and splendor of this DVD. It has some of the most incredible (some never before seen)fish and animals captured in beautiful detail. The ocean-diving birds, the sunfish being cleaned by sea-birds, the psychedelic creatures of the deep - amazing stuff!!!! Is excellent for children and adults.

Summary: Simply Astounding
Review: If you or anyone you know has even a remote interest in the ocean and marine life this DVD is a must. Even if you've seen parts of the "Seas of Life" series on the Discovery channel this DVD is still worth it as the difference in quality is astounding. I had heard a lot of great things about this series before buying them and so my expectations were quite high when I popped the disc into my player. Nothing could have prepared me for the indescribably clear images and absolutely beautiful photography. I don't have a fancy TV, but this disc gave me a taste of the promise of high-definition video. And not only is this disc technically brilliant, the storylines that the editors chose to cover are all incredibly compelling. During many segments in both "Open Ocean" and "The Deep" I watched almost in disbelief at what I was seeing. Through many years of watching nature documentaries I have never seen anything like what is contained in these two episodes. It really is quite remarkable (and the "making of" featurettes are well worth watching as well). I can and do recommend this DVD without any reservations (something that any of my friends and relatives could attest to ;-)!

..make that two.
Cheers to the dedicated team that made Blue Planet.
Love you all Parthiben

Summary: Wonderful look at an alien world that is right here on Earth
Review: The Blue Planet - Seas of Life (Part 2) is a fascinating look into the ocean. The photography is superb and the animals that are shown in The Deep look like something out of Star Trek rather than animals that live on our planet. Over and over I needed to keep telling myself that these animals live in the same ocean that we swim in. The quality of this DVD is second to none and as always, the BBC does a great job with the extras. The wide screen format of these two programs enhances the overall experience. I would highly recommend this DVD series to anyone who is fascinated by our planet and to anyone who has ever wonder what lives out there in our oceans?
