Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
Experience breathtaking close-up encounters with the largest mammal that ever lived on earth -- the Blue Whale. Follow Humpbacks, Orcas, Right Whales and dolphins for a stunning new perspective on these mysterious marine mammoths. "Whales" resonates in an exploding panorama of color and excitement. Acclaimed by critics as a "can't miss film," and a "dazzling poetic experience."

Narrated by Patrick Stewart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing!!, June 29, 2002
By Menno Alberts (Amsterdam, N-Holland Netherlands) - See all my reviews
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
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 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

2.0 out of 5 stars more stupid film editing
When the songs of whales were given, there were times when music was played by musicians, and that shouldn't happen. If you are letting us hear a whale, then be silent.
