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

- THIS IS NOT THE BLUE PLANET TV SHOW SHOWN ON BBC/DISCOVERY CHANNEL
This is the movie made specifically for IMAX 10 years before the Blue Planet television show came out. To all the people saying how awful it is compared to Planet Earth; This movie has nothing to do with the Planet Earth show, and should not be compared.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A DOCUMENTARY ON WHALES/SHARKS/BIOLUMINESCENT CREATURES UNDER THE SEA!

- Beautiful commentary and shots
Great. The most touching and stunning Imax ever. But there's no substitute for seeing it at an imax theatre, as I learned after viewing the DVD at home on a HD tv.
Rating: - Cool, but not 3d
Very nice image, however I thought this would be a 3d movie, but unfortunatly it is not.
Rating: - Superb
I-Max at it's best. Breathtaking photography, deeply thought provoking, informative. A must for the DVD library.
