There are many moments in Life, the followup to Planet Earth,
that just have to be fake. They look so perfect, so surreal and so
crazy that there's no way that they aren't made with computers. But
they're all real.
Planet Earth was a groundbreaking documentary when it was
released in 2006 by the BBC. It took four years to film, and it was the
most expensive documentary series ever commissioned by the BBC. It was
also the first to be shot in high definition. It's since been
re-released here in the States by the Discovery Channel and been
reedited into the Disney documentary Earth. Planet Earth Blu-rays are pretty much the ultimate "check out my new HDTV" material, better than any action movie.
