Beautiful Photography/Videography September 5, 2008

It's really a beautiful series on the origins of the earth and life as we know it. My only negative is that the author's hypotheses are presented as sound facts, as opposed to best guess and conjecture.

Too much on ecology, too little on geology! September 2, 2008
A. Hsin
I like the title, no question about that. But, I prefer to see more comprehensive coverage on geology, the true Earth biography, than ecology. For example, there are three types of volcano: Cinder Cone, Composite, and Shield. There is no mentioning of that in the Volcano section. I watched the entire Weather section, didn't see rock cycle or cloud types. The hot spot underneath Yellowstone is the same as the one under Hawaii. A type of its hot spring bacteria helps the explosion of DNA application and human genome project through something called polymerase chain reaction. It would be more exciting to include that. All the 3D computer graphic images and animation are great! I love them! If this series would added more formal science such as geology, meteorology and paleontology, offers more comprehensive presentation on major subjectives of each discipline, it would become more useful to students than just the general audiences.

Earth: The Biography Myth August 29, 2008

This would have received 5 stars. The photography, animations & presentation were masterfully done. Too bad that it had to be ruined by intertwining the "Global Warming" hoax throughout the series. As soon as the whining rants began I had to shut it off. But, the photography was so beautifully done that I had to finish watching it and endure the lies that were being spewed out.

What a pure waste of fine photography & film making.

Earth the Biography August 25, 2008
Edgar De Leon (Los Angeles, CA USA)
This was an amazing documentary and to view it on Blu-ray is just eye candy. My wife and I became quickly addicted. I recommend this product to everyone.
