A world view like no other!

Blue planet reveals the Earth to us as only a few people have ever seen it: from space. Orbiting 333 kilometres above Earth's surface, we can see familiar land forms: the majestic Himalayas, giant Namib desert sand dunes, jewel-like Caribbean islands. From this unique vantage point we see how natural forces - volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes - affect our planet, and how a powerful new force - humankind - has begun to alter the face of the Earth. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, blue planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth, our only home.

Blue planet was filmed in the Imax format and exhibited in Imax theatres world-wide. This video version is digitally mastered from original 70 mm film elements with the sound components specially mixed and remastered to produce the highest quality Dolby Surround soundtrack.

Narrated, written and edited by Toni Myers, principal direction by Ben Burtt.

Theatrical report

The Earth as viewed from space. The fragility of the biosphere. Blue planet is a great way to educate kids on the need for a healthy environment and the urgency with which something needs to be done. It's not the greatest of films but it does everything that it sets out to, and that's good.

For more things that the kids (and the grown-ups) can do, pay a visit to Greenpeace Australia: think globally, act locally.
