Beatiful and interesting videos of coast, ocean, desert, etc. The ecology of it is both interesting and discouraging. Read more

Stunning visuals, like Planet Earth 3. An absolute delight to watch. Sir David Attenborough's narration is excellent and compelling. The moments of drama in these animals lives can be surprisingly emotional! I'm half way through and I'll rate it 5 stars but one small complaint. Every single episode spends the last segment talking about the imminent destruction of the natural environment and biosphere by climate change brought on by human activity. This isn't incorrect, and with a platform as large as theirs I understand why they'd choose to drive the point home. But it's a downer having it at the end every time, leave me feeling happy sometimes! Maybe do the five minutes about how human activity none of us are in a position to do anything about is destroying everything we should protect and cherish in the middle of the episode. Small nitpick really but watching these at my mother's house she was so happy watching the episode and then so sad at the end contemplating the destruction of so many delicate ecosystems. Just a bummer way to wrap up such beautiful documentaries. Read more

It is one of the most amazing cinematography I've ever watched, a true masterpiece. The name on the box says it all. Read more

Always love sitting down and watching the Planet Earth Series, so when V3 was announced I eagerly pre-ordered. So far I have been able to watch Coasts and these are my thoughts: The scenes on the island in Tasmania looked great, then the segment with the angel fish really caught my wife's attention. I enjoyed the segment with the Right whales, I always enjoy hearing the whale population is on the rebound. Next was the segment on the Flamingos off Yucatan, kind of heartbreaking the way the storms affect the breeding grounds. The section with the Lions in nighttime were pretty cool with that new IR technique they use to capture at night. Finally, the rain island and turtles gave for a melancholic ending to the episode. Overall, I thought they did a great job capturing a lot of animal movement with a lot of clarity and mixed in the aerial shots for scale and impact in an effective manner. The colors they were able to capture near the coasts were fantastic, especially in the shots in Mexico, the mangrove, and bay in Argentina. There's only so much to cover that they haven't already done but their formula is solid and provides for an entertaining and informative show. I do want to reiterate, the back of the box only lists "DD 5.1" and has a Dolby Audio logo - in the sound settings menu, ATMOS is available. So, this is strange, as it's the first time I've seen a 4K Blu-ray box only having a DOLBY AUDIO logo and not DOLBY ATMOS. Also, it came in a blue Blu-ray box rather than the black 4K Blu-ray box.

The audio and video quality on the 4K discs is superb, from the bright and colorful scenes to the darker shots and even underwater ones. Word of warning for those seeking to watch with Atmos audio: the track isn't the default one! So make sure you manually select it before watching. Read more

Outstanding 4k blu-ray! Will really show off your TV’s performance. Read more

The darkest installment of the series. Not really for kids. It's like they're trying to win an Emmy for best drama in a nature documentary. Every animal they feature faces death at the hands of the modern world, and you never know if they're going to die, or be saved at the last minute. It's also visually a bit dark, colors not as vibrant as previous installments. Maybe they've just already covered all of the more colorful animals? Read more

As usual, splendid camera work and excellent narationn by David Attenborough. Read more
