Diagonaldi Very well executed

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

tim-07347 Outstanding cinematography. Outstanding narration. Outstanding research and storytelling.If this level of compelling and passionate documentary doesn't have an effect on our attitude towards the utter essentialness of the well-being of our oceans, then I fear nothing ever will. This should be compulsory viewing for all students everywhere, lest the next generation follows in the current generation's attitude of unforgivable nonchalance towards our planet's health and astonishing biodiversity.

Adam Whitmore Many movies and television series claim to push the boundaries. This one really does. As the material about the making of the series (at the end of each episode and online) shows, the four years it took to make included a record depth for a manned submersible dive in Antarctica, round the clock diving to make sure they did not miss a once-a-year event at a remote island, coping with huge sharks attacking the crew's submarine, deploying a range of novel filming technologies, and taking so much time under water that they were able to record behaviours never seen before. Around a thousand hours of shooting were needed for each hour of programme. The results are genuinely sublime, with an astonishing range of natural wonders captured by photography that is surely peerless in its beauty, range and consistency. Skilful editing and commentary helps bring each of the subjects to life. Evocative music and sound effects may irritate some but for me, and I expect most others, these add to the impact. The conservation message is there in part in most episodes, emerging into its own in the final episode, but really the whole series is a uniquely powerful plea for the conservation of the oceans. Beyond that there is not much to say except "see it".

lexjoh If you are human it can be saved but you will need to give up all those luxury items wrapped in plastic shipped from China to give us a few moments of joy then to the bins. You have said what we all say we don't deserve the BLUE PLANET. What wonders we have still to discover but the BIGGEST might be ourselves and how we can change. Starting with ME & YOU. THANK YOU WORLD. The program shows us how we can change and save some of the fish and animals but everyday we lose more wonders including humans War and Destruction might see the end of us but unfortunately it will take the planet years to recover Loved the reality hope it's still here for my grandchildren THINK DO I NEED THIS STOP THE WASTE.

Farshid From space, astronauts describe the earth as a magnificently bluish sphere, standing out against a dark backdrop. The earth is an inspiring gift bestowed on us human beings to appreciate the nature, the animals, the oceans and the universe. Oceans constitute a major part of this gift, showcasing a vast spectrum of glorious animals and a boundless array of phenomena. These animals are the gems festooning the oceans, living harmoniously together, creating vast treasure troves for us to behold and ponder over, to take delight in discovering. The oceans are the arteries of life pulsating throughout the Planet Earth, reminding us of the splendor and also fragility of rainbow of life hanging majestically over the Earth. This stunning series awakens in us the respect for life and the gift given to us, reminding us of how enchanting oceans are and the animals that make a large and beautiful part of this awesome Life on earth.I hope more people, more politicians, more religious zealots are brought to watch series like this to appreciate and respect the glory of life on Planet Earth and in the Blue Planet. It may cast a spell on them to stop the destruction of this magnificent life, as it did on me watching it.I once again bow to the people involved in the creation of this sparkling diamond of a documentary and wish that Sir David Attenborough live for many years to mesmerize us with his iconic narration and voice.
