A good description. As they mentioned in one of the episodes on Sunday night, we always hear about what a small or "flat" world we live in today, but after seeing the footage in Planet Earth you truly realize what an amazing and large world it truly is, not to mention how ignorant we are of everything out there.
The new filming technologies and needless to say the HD make this one of the best programs I have ever seen. From the shark footage to being able to follow the African wild dogs hunting in packs from a helicopter, I have enjoyed every minute.
Also, from watching the behind the scenes clips afterwards, I give a ton of credit to the cameramen, I sure as hell couldn't live in a cave surrounded by bats for a month.
