The inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.

Summary: Blu-ray version is stunning
Comment: Although it's not 1080p but 1080i the picture quality is amazing. There are some shots that literally take your breath away. Galapagos shoreline, the colors of the rocks under the sea. I didn't watch it on DVD, only on Blu-ray so I don't know how this would be without those images.
If you own a blu-ray player and an hd tv then you must buy this disc.

Summary: I love this nature documentary
Comment: Hmmmm....what can I say?...I think Planet Earth is over-rated. I like Galapagos more than Planet Earth. It is shorter (one disc), but the contents are just stunning. The HD quality of this disc is of a higher level than Planet Earth-it is simply marvelous and breathtaking. In terms of video quality, Planet Earth gets an 8, but Galapagos deserves a 10. The sound quality is awesome; the narration is perfect; the contents are mind-blowing. I don't care about the theory of evolution, creationism, or anything else. This disc tells the story as is: the beautiful islands, the wonderful life forms, and all the stunning display of mother-nature. I love this documentary.

Summary: Galapagos DVD (Blu-Ray)
Comment: Excellent documentary of the Galapagos Islands. Stunning photography. Very informative. I learned a lot from this documentary. Great educational material for all ages. The evolution of the individual islands is facinating. Highly recommended. BBC has many excellent documentaries available on Blu-ray.

Summary: Great images; saves me a trip to visit the real islands!
Comment: On the box of the disc it said due to difficult environments some footage of the video was not shot in HD. Well, I can't seem to notice any particular time point when the video was not in great resolution and color! I think this video should have been part of the Planet Earth series and bundled with the other discs.

Summary: God's creation, not Darwin's evolution.
Comment: This is a very beautiful visual of God's creation and how He has made all life in such precise detail to the environment in which they live. Nobody in their right mind can watch this presentation of God's creation and believe that evolution had anything to do with it. God has made every living creature so perfectly for its environment. Darwin shouldn't have even been mentioned in this documentary. It only cheapen it. It should give credit where credit is due.
