Planet Earth 2/Blue Planet

[drummerman]

Probably one of very few Ultra HD sets I'll actually buy but I am slightly confused;

On Amazon, there is a box set with both and then there are the single editions. On Planet Earth 2 there are 4 and 2 disc versions ... ?

Which one?

Is it best to just buy the box set?

Is there a difference?

Thanks x

contains both Planet Earth 2 and Blue Planet 2

The reason why the box set has four discs is that it includes the "standard" bluray as well as the 4k version.

Thanking you kindly, ordered.

One other movie I will order is Guillermo del Torro's 'The shape of Water'.

Saw that in the cinema a few weeks ago. Whilst not his very best movie (Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage) it comes close second or third.

A lovely fable in the best tradition and Sally Hawkins is amazing.

It looked glorious in the cinema.

Rather underwhelmed by the UHD Blue Planet 2. Some scenes have a wow factor, but most of the underwater stuff looks to have been filmed on a submarine driver's 2008 smartphone. I can only hope that Planet Earth 2 is better quality because it has been filmed out of water?!

The first disc on Planet Earth 2 uhd is good from memory it goes downhill a bit after then tho.
