Description:

The BBC's acclaimed nature series The Blue Planet will astonish you from start to finish, and these two episodes are even better than those included in Part 1 ("Ocean World" and "Frozen Seas"). "Open Ocean" travels thousands of miles into the vast "liquid desert," where currents determine how the ocean's diverse life forms will assume their places in the food chain. From manta rays to spinner dolphins, hammerhead sharks, and a plethora of smaller creatures fending for their lives, the patient cameramen capture a movable feast with intense proximity, while narrator David Attenborough brings these forces of nature into eloquent perspective. Even more amazing, "The Deep" descends with a state-of-the-art submersible to the ocean's abyssal plain and beyond, filming such bizarre creatures as the fangtooth, bioluminescent jellies, transparent squid, the giant-mouthed gulper eel, and the never-before-seen hairy angler fish. The Blue Planet provides the privilege of visiting a truly alien world teeming with the rarest wonders of nature. --Jeff Shannon
