"Blue Planet," a space film about Earth, gives us an experience of our home planet that, until now, has only been shared by astronauts. Spectacular scenes from space, filmed aboard several space shuttle missions, are intercut with scenes of the Earth's surface, clearly showing the powerful forces that affect our planet.

This film endeavors to (and succeeds in) presenting the Earth as a whole, as a home, as a living organism. Go to Full Review Brian Webster Apollo Guide 06/16/2001

11/18/2017 Our home. Don't mess with it. See more 12/28/2012 This is not only informative but beautifully done. Great companion series along with planet earth. See more 09/25/2012 well shot but it tends to go off on some tangents See more gareth d 04/23/2011 Old and dated but still visually spectacular! See more 02/09/2010 Huge let-down. All the footage is out of date and generally irrelevant in terms of today's technology and advances in space exploration. I wish i would have looked on the back of the case and seen it was made in the 80's before i made an impulse buy. See more 08/20/2009 Too short. Geared toward children. It did not keep my attention.
