Planet Earth

I had seen commercials a few weeks back for this show on Discovery HD called "Planet Earth" which basically looked like an IMAX movie but on HD. So, last night, I decided to check it out.

Let me tell you, if you haven't watched it, definitely do. It has some of the most amazing shots I've ever seen. Whether it's polar bears just getting out of their hibernation period for the first time, or catching a shot of a camel from the Gobi desert of which there are only 800 left on Earth, the shots are amazing. Watching it on a large HDTV is basically like seeing an IMAX.

It was at this point last night, that I realized that all of the talk of a true home entertainment system since the late '90s are now realized for me (minus the sound of course, but that will come later once I buy my own place).
