This series of 5 shows was OUTSTANDING! Everyone from a 3rd grader up to an octogenarian will enjoy this and gain new knowledge about the planet on which we reside.

How do waves form? What does the inside of a glacier look like? How did carbon dioxide SAVE our planet? How did the dinosaurs become extinct? Why do the continents shift? Why we are actually living under water (similar to a lobster) and don't even realize it. How did life form? How did our planet form? How did Earth's sister planet Theia create the moon? Why the moon is slowly but surely leaving planet Earth. How Jupiter protects the Earth. Etc, etc, etc.... all of these questions and many, many more are tackled in this program.

The explanation of these events is extremely well presented using actual footage and computer generated images. This is a must see by all.

Happy viewing!

In my view Dr Iain Stewart is greatly under estimated. He has a wonderful persona and in this particular series comes across as good as Attenborough.

Earth: Power of the planet is quite possibly one of the greatest TV series I have ever seen. It takes us on a journey through the complex development of our planet, all the way from its explosive birth to the present time. It is exciting, yet sobering at times and explains everything on a level anyone can understand. Each of the 5 episodes gripped me from start to finish and I never get bored of watching them over and over.

Its the kind of series that proves how lucky mankind are to even be in existence and that as complex the procedures it took to get us here, nature has the power to quickly take it away in a blink of an eye.

10/10 for me!

Stewart's series makes a perfect companion to the Plant Earth, Blue Planet, etc multi-pack of DVDs I recently purchased. What a marvelous and enjoyable experience it is to see the power of the Earth's physical properties. I will confess that I enjoyed the narrator's accent (much like my Mother's, though she insisted she had no accent)and his enthusiasm. Certainly it lends a different flavour when compared to David Attenborough's more mature tones. The use of extraordinarily clear computer graphics are startling. I found the size of the sphere made of all the water on Earth compared to the dry globe one of the most frightening sights ever. There is very little water by volume while I note that my conditioning was based on globes and maps showing area covered by water. Quite startling. I highly recommend this series.
