WHile this disc doesn't cost much, you don't get that much. Video quality is OK, but Blu-Ray deserves better. I bought this item because I was eager to get some high quality material to show off my Blu-Ray system. Unfortunately this is not it! Probably will never watch it through. Ah well!

Technically, the visuals and audio are excellent. Content, however, is a disappointment. It is a collection of stills advancing much too slowly. Many, many attractive sites in the Southwest are simply not included.

This is beautiful south-western scenery. The colors are vivid, and relaxing. This was a good demo for a 50" Plasma I bought for my parents. In many ways, the quality of the footage looks clearer than "Blue Planet" does. Most of the scenes are well composed. Most look professional, but a few minutes seem semi-pro. If you can get it at a good price, It's a great bit of footage to doze to.

When I was preparing to take my wife to visit the Southwest for the first time, I used this Blu-ray video to give her a feel to what the country really looks like. As a result I think she developed a better understanding of what it is like to live in this part of the country. For someone from the east it is really hard to picture truly open spaces and vistas that only the southwest can offer. This video does a wonderful job of presenting this detail.

Video pictures are good by the music is real anoying and sometime they stay on a scene too long

Great compositional variety of the scenic southwest. Don't know about the music because I always mute it on these as it is typically new age electronica. But I love reading with it playing in the background. Great in the summer, virtual vacation without the expense. And after viewing these landscape movies, I always feel refreshed as if I had taken an actual vacation.
