5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning video. As good or better than the pic on the cover, September 27, 2007

By	Greg Best (West Des Moines, Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just got a copy of World's Most Beautiful Places, and it is exactly what the title projects it to be. Absolutely gorgeously filmed, Hi-Def locations and landscapes from all around this beautiful planet, expertly framed and edited, compiled here from their other full length disc sets. I played it, expecting to use it as pretty, moving backgrounds, but was captivated to sit and watch the whole thing in one setting. The music is appropriately soft and elegant, along side the background sounds of streams, wind, ocean waves. This disc is easily on par with my other nature disc, Planet Earth, but without all that talking. It will make a specatular "screen saver" in my front room, ever reminding me of the magnificent contrasts of nature's natural beauty. I will be buying the rest of HD Environments BluRay discs very soon, and look forward to their future releases as well. It's a wonderful production that met AND exceeded my expectations, so that is five stars in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! what a great use for HD!, July 1, 2007

By	Marcia S. Ludwig "Dangerous Beauty" (Los Altos, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This program makes me glad I turned my livingroom into an HD home theatre. We can't believe how fantastic it is to be transported to what truly seem to be some of the world's most beautiful places in the comfort of our own home. The colors, the clarity and most of all the amazing places I've never seen make this a breathtaking experience. The natural surround-sound is over the top.... I seriously thought there were songbirds in my house when the Costa Rica and Hawaii chapters were playing. I'm tempted to get some of the other programs in this collection.

1.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyment Ruined By Piano Soundtrack, January 1, 2008

By	Dubinvero (Cornelius, NC USA) - See all my reviews

The DVD sleeve describes this collection as "designed to create sensory-immersive experiences of the worlds most beautiful environments" For me the enjoyment was ruined by the piano sountrack which drowns out the natural outdoor sounds. It's like watching Sunrise Earth with an annoying new age piano soundtrack. There is no way to kill the piano sountrack other than muting all of the sound.
