Nature's Most Amazing Events takes up the mantle left by the stunning BBC series Planet Earth , and offers a closer look at some of the most fascinating and dramatic natural happenings on the planet. Narrated by David Attenborough, it digs in some detail into the impact of certain events on nature, and manages to hone in on small stories in the midst of major happenings. It's a breathtaking cocktail. What particularly lifts Nature's Most Amazing Events too is the stunning photography. Many will recall just how superb the shots in Planet Earth were, but if anything, Nature's Most Amazing Events tops it. The cinematography here is world-class, and it greatly enhances the series around it as a result. That said, there's more than enough substance to Nature's Most Amazing Events as it stands anyway. Diligently made and researched, and presented in an accessible, yet not condescending manner, it's another major success for the BBC in this area, and further cements why it's a world leader where natural-history documentaries are concerned. Credit must go too for the decision to include the making-of material. Back when the BBC broadcast The Blue Planet , this material was often just as interesting as the main feature itself, and the same is true here. It's a genuinely fascinating insight into the production of such an ambitious, and unmissable, series. --Jon Foster

I am a big fan of the BBC Earth stuff and already own a few of their collections. I bought this as a Father's day gift and my dad loved it. He threw the disc in right after opening it. The quality is what you expect from a blu-ray, sharp, clear images full of detail and vibrant color, and high grade audio that really puts you there in the scene. The narration is top notch (of course) and the various events captured are amazing to watch. I can definitely recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed other BBC Earth video. This was well worth the price.

What a series to watch. The Brits know how to put a DVD together. So interesting to see how nature survives the way these animals do. Give this series a very high AAA.
