Blue Planet presents photographic images of the earth taken from outer space. Only about 300 people have ever had the opportunity to study the world from the vantage point of the heavens, and this cinematic documentary gives viewers the chance to experience that wonder. It inspires an emotional celebration of life on the majestic planet Earth, while also pointing out the visible effects of pollution and ozone depletion. ~ Betsy Boyd, All Movie Guide

The IMAX look at Earth, Blue Planet, comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that does a fine job of capturing the clarity of the original image, but obviously cannot replicate the size of the IMAX experience. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but fans of the IMAX format as well as space documentary enthusiasts should enjoy this release from PBS Home Video. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
