Movie Reviews of Blue Planet (IMAX)
Movie Review: Go with Planet Earth
Summary: 2 Stars
Its got a great picture but the content is less than desireable. Its short and its not even close to what "Planet Earth offers in the realm of content. Movie Review: Blue Planet [Blu-Ray]
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed in this product. It was not what I expected. I was hoping it was the same (Blue Planet) program that is available on DVD.Movie Review: Too Short and Too Old
Summary: 2 Stars
The Blue Planet is a beautiful viewing but not worth the money for only 40 min of film. It is good enough for repeat watch. Max price should of been about $15.00.
The second film, A Dream is Alive, was made in 1985 and is way outdated. This was a year before the Challenger explosion. Not worth watching.
Movie Review: Decent views but....really? Did they have to go there?
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this on Blu-ray earlier today and watched it with my dad tonight expecting it to be something like the wonderful Planet Earth series, but with NASA. But let's face it. It's not. I have to agree with the others here that say the HD quality could be, well, better. And since it was made in 1990 I *kind of* understand that. Besides, that's not even my complaint so I won't delve into the picture quality aspect at all. My biggest problem came at the half-way point when the documentary took a 'left' turn and became nothing more than a tree--hugger/bleeding-heart piece on how Man is destroying the planet. I mean it was just "Ozone layer this"... and "Rain forest that"... and "Man is making extinct hundreds of undiscovered species every minute". They literally said that; "Undiscovered". Ok, if they're undiscovered then how do we know we're causing they're extinction?
Listen, I'm not the kind of guy that would throw his Big Mac wrapper out the window of his Hummer while driving through a nature preserve but... Come on! Do these people really think they need to dupe Americans in to buying their liberal B.S. by marketing it as "A spectacular look at Earth like you've never seen before"?! I am sure that some people will/do love this documentary for everything it stands for. But if you're like me and you don't want to be preached at by someone who feels that the best thing you can do for Mother Earth is to kill yourself... then don't bother. Somehow, I'm getting my money back!
Movie Review: well-converted HD from an old IMAX title
Summary: 4 Stars
The reviews on this site were not particularly encouraging, but for this price not much to loose. Yes, it's obvious that this was converted from an old analog film; you can view some of old film particles but they are not annoying at all, and they rather give you more of human touch which is hardly felt in digitally mastered 'spiderman 3'. The narration also gives you somewhat analog feeling, but far from a turn-off. Rather a short running time as most IMAX titles have a bit over half an hour running. Feels like an appetizer, or a prelude; but then again not to heavy, and lots of amazing pictures you can see. The pixels might not be presented as sharply as in 'planet earth', but they did a good conversion job from an analog film. Undoubtedly superior picture quality compared to ordinary standard definition DVD titles. No region code, I appreciated that.
