5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing!!, June 29, 2002

Menno Alberts (Amsterdam, N-Holland Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whales - An Unforgettable Journey (Large Format) (DVD)

When I saw this movie for the very first time (National Geographic Theatre, Victoria BC, Canada) I was stunned! It is just beautiful! The music, photography and story-line (narrated by Star Trek's Patrick Stewart) and the quality of sound and vision altogether made this DVD a must-have! I still watch this movie time after time, it simply still amazes me...

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch in every regard., March 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Whales - An Unforgettable Journey (Large Format) (DVD)

While it's tough to match the experience of an IMAX theater, this piece does an excellent job. Video quality is excellent, as good as any I have seen. Colors are vivid and crisp. Audio includes a good musical score (a bit loud at some points, but appropriate overall) and good use of under-water sound that makes good use of the soundstage. Narration is high quality. A good example of what a DVD can be, particularly for fans of the IMAX format.

5.0 out of 5 stars breathtaking, December 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Whales - An Unforgettable Journey (Large Format) (DVD)

This is an amazing feature-the best I've ever seen on whales. The great thing about it is that it includes a number of different species of whales and also has fantastic scenic shots! Breathtaking close-ups & crystal clear pictures
