The earth is vibrant in color and motion, startling in its variety of shapes and textures, and awe-inspiring in its grace and power. But, many of the Earth's most spectacular conjuring tricks unfold in a timeframe that is imperceptible to mere humans. For Amazing Planet, National Geographic has teamed up with NASA and the US Geological Survey to create a 4-D planet Earth - an eye-popping CGI time machine that makes it possible to see in seconds what took eons to create. Witness the bumper-car antics of continents; ice ages pulsing out of the poles and back again; the Himalayas surging upwards; the march of sand dunes swallowing and then uncovering African villages.

Magnificent!!
It is a wonderful series of documentaries!!! Magical!!
Lovely landscapes, sounds and narration!!

I'd prefer though all National Geographic documentaries to have English Subtitles for the non native speakers!

Bad Graphics and Video
I love national geographic, but this DVD was very disappointing. Part of it looked like a powerpoint presentaion with the same video animations repeating itself through the episodes. Not worth the money.

Disappointed
I bought this DVD after VERY careful research. My children had video cassettes when they were little of a program called Amazing Planet by National Geographic that had 4 aliens flying around the planet on missions. I enjoyed the shows as much as my children and when I saw that I could purchase multiple shows on one DVD, I did. This DVD clearly stated in the description "starring Pat Cashman" who was the "Captain" on the show. However, I was more than disappointed when I discovered this DVD was not the one I had wanted. If you're looking for the children's program "Amazing Planet," this isn't it. Regardless, this was a great program even though it was not what I was looking for.
Whomever is responsible for the mistake in the credits ought to correct it.

awesome
This is a great multimedia DVD with computer graphics and sounds that puts you right under the earths mantle. I watched this with my surround sound sytem and 42" Samsung LCD. Very awesome.

Amazing Planet - Great DVD
This DVD series is awesome. The content and graphics are engaging and you are spellbound by the awesome photography.
