Many programs use HD as a gimmick to try to improve mediocre films. The first films produced in HD were also more of the IMAX (all pictures and no substance)
This series is a great exception. This is a well-made documentary of Planet Earth, and the HD (high speed to over 1000 frames a second) part adds a more-than-real feel to everything from birds to mountains. Once in a while, they show people so you can put this large scope in scale. They minimize the animals eating animals, and in many cases by leaving out the background music, give you a mystic feel for the planet.
This series is worth the purchase as every time you watch, you can catch something new. At this time, there is a war of formats, so I am holding off on purchasing. However, I have seen these series several times on a 46” 1080p. So far, my favorite part is the silent vision of the Peruvian mountains.
