Yeah, I bought Seven Worlds - One Planet with all the movies I ordered, but it was out of stock and the order was cancelled after a few months. I hear that one looks stunning as well. I'll be getting a bunch of documentaries like this on 4K disc; they have such incredible visuals, it's perhaps the best genre of film to buy in this format as far as visual fidelity and spectacle goes.

Seven worlds one planet is great. I've been collecting the whole Planet Earth series, David Attenborough is my favorite :)

You probably already have Baraka and Samsara. They don't have 4K versions, yet the blu-rays are based on 8K scans from the 70mm negatives, cleaned up and mastered in 4K before downsampled to 1080p. Those are the best looking (and sounding with 96khz encodes) blu-rays in existence and since most of the scenes are slow moving, the visual quality is amazing. Much better than the average 4K movie.
(Best sound is Akira, 192khz clean pristine soundtrack)

Awaken is another spectacle which does have a 4K version. I've never seen it and the only way to get it here is import the German version (which doesn't play here) or from Sweden on blu-ray. Frustrating!

Thanks for the tips! I'll be expanding my collection a few movies and shows at a time this year.
