Product Description
Bluray Disc
Amazon.com
The IMAX film Blue Planet offers an eloquent reminder--and a cautionary warning--that the planet Earth is a delicate living organism, constantly reshaped and rejuvenated by the awesome forces of nature. The film targets a grade-school audience but will prove informative to anyone fascinated by our home planet's evolution. Hurricanes, glaciers, volcanoes, thunderstorms, asteroid impacts, undersea furnace vents, and earthquakes are all explored as a system of interconnected forces that ensure the planet's survival. The difference between this and other nature films is that the Earth's delicacy is emphasized by stunning views from space, filmed in the IMAX format by NASA astronauts in orbit 200 miles above the Earth's surface. With astonishing clarity, this orbital perspective supports the film's ultimate purpose: to reveal the awesome beauty of the Earth, and to emphasize that we, the custodians of this miraculous gift, are also the greatest threat to the planet's delicate health. Proof of man's destructive influence offers a sobering reminder that our responsibility toward nature is perpetual, essential, and routinely abused.
Blue Planet combines state-of-the-art sound and image, principally directed by Ben Burtt, the Oscar-winning sound designer whose credits include the original Star Wars trilogy. No home-theater system could do full justice to the film's technical achievement, but the sights and sounds of Blue Planet are awesome nonetheless, and it's impossible to overstate the importance of the film's message and its hopeful emphasis on the potentially wondrous future of our one and only home. --Jeff Shannon

 A real visual pleasure June 23, 2010
T. Lohne
This is a must own. It is also nice as a background video when you have company. It opens up ones mind to the wonders of Gods creation and Mans destruction by depleting natural resources. A movie well made and drives home a point well worth it! It a very beautiful movie, giving us a perspective of how wonderful Mother Earth is! Photography and narration is great. The team has done a great job, relating the analogy of an Astronaut to a space shuttle as Man to earth.
 DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY... June 14, 2010

Entirely too much political agenda behind this movie with all of the statements regarding evolution, global warming, and other environmentally driven and unproven hypothesis that folks want to pass off as scientifically proven facts. There are some good views of earth from space but there is entirely too much dialogue about the damage that man is causing earth and there is entirely too much one-sided viewpoints presented in this. Do not waste your time and money.
 the title is bigger than than the content March 12, 2010
yassir abdulrahman (Qatar)
The Title is much bigger and more attractive than the content. The film is too slow, narration is too boring, most of the shots are taken from space shuttles.
It is much below the expected for a blue ray production.
 Amazing March 5, 2010
W. THIRY (Ione, Ca)
Dream is Alive has Amazing space shuttle launch footage and incredible shots of earth from space. The Imax cameras give you the feeling of being in the space shuttle with the crew.
Blue plant has alot of the same footage as the movie Planet Earth, and is also very beautiful and educational.
Collectible on its own January 17, 2010
Alex (NJ)
If you got an old HD-DVD player, this is one DVD you have to have in your collection. The Planet Earth HD-DVD to complement it is also a must.
