Deserts (Planet Earth - S1E5) recap & spoilers

8.5
8.5 star

Around 30% of the land's surface is desert, the most varied of our ecosystems despite the lack of rain. Saharan sandstorms reach nearly a mile high and desert rivers run for a single day. In the Gobi Desert, rare Bactrian camels get moisture from the snow. In the Atacama, guanacos survive by licking dew off cactus spines. The brief blooming of Death Valley triggers a plague of locusts 65km wide and 160km long. A unique aerial voyage over the Namibian desert reveals elephants on a long trek for food and desert lions searching for wandering oryx..

AwesomeI've watched many tv shows about wildlife and the planet in general. I've got to say this is one of the best! The HD version looks great, and all the camera work for the show is absolutely amazing! You get to see a lot of aerial photography witch gives you many great views! I've seen animals i've never seen before doing things i've never witnessed so detailed on camera! You'll be amazed.Score: 5/5

Wonderfully Worthwhile ViewingIn an age of so much junk this is a refreshing change. It is truly family friendly viewing that can be enjoyed again and again. The video quality is superb and you feel as though you right there in the jungle, on the plains, or in the water. You almost want to duck when the birds fly overhead! There are a few scenes of animals attacking others (real nature in action), but they are not gruesome. The narration is not overdone and does not take away from the show. It is loaded with a lot of interesting facts so you'd have to see/hear it more than once to catch it all. The series is done from an evolutionary standpoint, however, so that is something to consider. Overall all it is superbly done and I'd like to give it more than five stars. I am now considering the iPod touch so we can have a larger screen to view this when we are stuck somewhere and want to see it! This is truly a work of art!.Score: 5/5

Amazing seriesThis is an amazing... the film work itself is extraordinary, but the excellent commentary that accompanies it really makes the whole series perfect. I recommend it to everyone, not just nature lovers. My personal favorite is 'Ocean Deep.' The deep ocean has always fascinated me, because it's such an alien environment to humans. The creatures found far below the water are nothing short of spectacular. Overall, a wonderful series, well worth the money. Oh... and get HD. @ TNT... I am having a hard time understanding your comment. Why in the world would a series like this NOT be copyrighted? Duh..Score: 5/5

BEST DOCUMENTARY EVERDavid Attenborough is great and it almost makes the movie along with the HD scenes it is definitely worth it. I have the Blue Plant which is also a great thing to get with this and it is also commentated by the same guy. I highly recommend this movie though.Score: 5/5

NOT HDI purchased this series after receiving my new 21.5 inch mac. I was very excited to test it out as my previous laptop had no support for the HD version of media that were available on iTunes. Unfortunately I was sorely let down. The series is mind blowing but the visuals are so poor for HD standard its a rip off. I really, really, REALLY hope Apple listens to what people are saying (I know I'm not alone with this problem) and sorts it out. Its quite simply poor customer service..Score: 1/5

Undoubtedly The BestPrograms like THIS is what makes you realise that the TV licensing fee is worth it. This is the kind of world you expect in fairytales, and of course to top it off there's the best commentator available. A word of warning, though. Apple HD is 720p, not what most of us consider HD, which is 1080p/i..Score: 5/5

A third of all trees on Earth grow here and during the short summer they produce enough oxygen to change the atmosphere. In California General Sherman, a giant sequoia, is the largest living thing on the planet, ten times the size of a blue whale. The oldest organisms alive are bristlecone pines.
