Product Description

Transforms your television into a high-definition window onto Planet Earth's most stunning natural environments.

A mesmerizing and peaceful journey through the world's most glorious, exotic locales, this Blu-ray compilation program features excerpts from the first nine programs in the Allegro Earthscapes Living Landscapes Collection.

Naturally recorded surround-sound and relaxing music by Emmy Award winning composer Gary Malkin and others are combined with state of the art high-definition video to create the ultimate virtual experience of Nature's beauty. An interactive playback feature allows you to select any of the 9 HD environments for continuous repeated playback.

Experience the peace and tranquility of the Grand Tetons reflected in pristine mountain lakes. Descend into the mists of Costa Rica's cloud forest as hummingbirds and macaws fly across your home theatre sound space. Feel the warm rays of the sunrise peaking through golden clouds on Maui's famed Haleakala Crater. Transport yourself to a warm tropical beach in the middle of winter, and visit the island paradise of Bali. Experience the turning of the leaves in New England or the stark beauty of the Pacific Coast from Carmel to Washington state. These are a few of the many magical moments you will experience as you peek through the HD window into some of the places that were chosen to create the ultimate world of natural beauty on the planet Pandora in the 3D film Avatar.

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

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.

Some of the video has a burned in logo for their website, in white text. Do not buy this if you're concerned about screen burn-in.

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 review is from: Living Landscapes HD The World's Most Beautiful Places [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

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.
