" ... A must have for your 4K collection! ... "
" ... I have used this as the test disc for our 4K UHD HDR system and the picture quality is simply superb. ... If you have all of the right hardware (4K UHD HDR TV, 4K Blu-ray and a sound system that supports HDCP2.2 for through connections) then you will not be disappointed. ... "
" ... Absolutely amazing as others here have already said (especially on an LG OLED TV!) ... I think the issue I mentioned of the lower quality comes from when parts are not shot in 4K and going from 4K straight into a lower resolution is quite noticeable. ... "
" ... If you need UHD movie to show off your new 4k HDR TV then you cant find anything better. ... "
" ... Wow never seen 4K before and the images are so real, feels like you are there ... "
" ... This is what 4k is supposed to be, eye spoilingly awesome ... "
" ... The upscale bluray doesn't hold a candle to the UHD performance (and I thought that was brilliant!) ... "
" ... The picture quality on this is simply stunning and the 4K HDR has been done fantastically. ... If you own a 4K TV don't hesitate to pick this up. ... "

" ... Very fast delivery and a great set of DVD's ... "
" ... It worked beautifully on my Samsung BD player! ... "
" ... It has standard Blu-rays in it and UHD Blu-rays, so more future proof. ... "

" ... Probably the best UHD quality picture and sound you will currently find, ... "
" ... Visually stunning crisp picture, although to say it is 4 times the detail of HD is debatable. ... "
" ... Sir David at his best, and some of the greatest UHD images I've seen. ... "
" ... If ever you want to impress your friends with the picture quality of your new UHD TV this is the series to show them. ... "

" ... As always, excellent photography, and presented by the one and only DA, in his usual riveting style. ... "
" ... mind blowing photography ... "
" ... The photography and technical post production showcases how well things CAN be done, and should serve as a benchmark for everybody else now and forever. ... "
" ... Fascinating Series with incredibly photography, at the end of the programme they show you how it is done, which is equally interesting. ... "
" ... Incredible quality of film shots and the new and more first of's make this series the best so far. ... "
" ... Excellent photography & commentary by Sir David Attenborough. ... "
" ... The photography is amazing and quality is off the scale. ... "
" ... but I am slightly disappointed at the inconsistent quality of the sweeping drone shots as sometimes they are superbly sharp, sometimes they are a little blurry, and sometimes fall below DVD quality. ... "

" ... Stunning pictures, pity about the sound, commentary drowned by loud music. ... "
" ... The series uses music to instruct us how to feel all too often instead of just letting the footage do that, there's also a habit of use dramatic scary music for certain animals such as the locust we meet, before we then cut to zebras and elephants migrating to the accompaniment of gentle soft music, "yay nice animals!" ... "
" ... It would certainly be great if the viewer were able to lessen the volume of the soundtrack without lowering the commentary and natural sound effects that are on display . ... "
" ... Not to make it sound un-entertaining, just the opposite. ... "
" ... Sound is very well presented and the surround channel coding works well too. ... "
" ... Anyway, I don't own an OLED TV, but in my system looks and sounds amazing. ... Sound system: 2x Devialet Phantom Silver ... "
" ... If you got the ultra 4k Blu player then this is ideal the picture is brilliant the sound is good ... "
" ... It is awesome it will be one of those discs that you will want to come back to, the sense of drama and music is epic, the racer Snakes v's the Sea Iguana sets a new level in TV viewing. ... "

" ... Believe me when I say nothing will prepare you for the utterly staggering and beguiling beauty you will see on the screen before you. ...

" ... This trumps almost anything on TV, incredible visually, informative, captivating. ... "
" ... It clearly demonstrates the benefits of 4k hdr on a large OLED screen. ... "
