The Blue Planet - Seas of Life (2001)
BBC

Description

The Blue Planet, narrated by Sir David Attenborough is an epic new guide to the strange and spectacular denizens of our world's vast oceans. We know less about the oceans than we do about the surface of the moon, yet the sea covers two-thirds of our planet. From the familiar to the unknown, The Blue Planet reveals the sea and its communities at their most fearsome and alluring. The Blue Planet has taken 5 years to film by the BBC's celebrated Natural History Unit. Over the course of eight episodes it focuses on every type of marine landscape.

Collected reviews and ratings

10 DVD Verdict | Kent Dixon

While each episode stands well on its own, all eight episodes of the series perfectly fit together into an expansive picture of our planet's diverse oceans and the millions of life forms that call them home, or directly benefit from them. The cinematography is simply stunning.

10 DVD Talk

Perhaps the best way to describe Blue Planet: Seas of Life is as a documentary for intelligent adults. That's not to say that younger viewers won't enjoy or appreciate it, as they most certainly can.

The eight episodes (50 minutes each) focus on the life in the water, around it, how they interact, and how they can all be affected by the slightest change. It's outstanding, amazing, and unique.
