Movie Reviews of Blue Planet (IMAX)
Movie Review: Great historic record of the Space Shuttle presented in HD
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like space history, especially the Space Shuttle period, this is a great DVD to own.
The disc contains two documentaries. The Dream is Alive is a very early documentary and has very nice shuttle launches, as well as the release of three satellites in space, and views of the VAB and launch pads. The Blue Planet documentary has a lot of shots of the Earth from space, nature shots, and also shuttle launches.
The image quality is very good, but does not match recent movies like BBC's Planet Earth in HD (which has no space shuttle shots). I am not aware of any other HD space documentary that matches Blue Planet/The Dream is Alive. This disc is a must have for HD fans who are also space buffs.
Movie Review: Don't Buy it ! only rent it if you desperate a Imax fan
Summary: 2 Stars
I won't not recommaed to buy at all cost, is simply not worth it, the document is too short. Is out of order as well, do not even compare to planet earth not comparison at all, only thing this worth to rent for is to see space shuttle launch in full details and some nice picture shot by satellite in our planet. Most of the scene is really not good, and is lacking information.Movie Review: earth from space
Summary: 4 Stars
Filmed in IMAX by NASA astronauts 200 miles above planet earth, this 41-minute film introduces you to volcanoes and earthquakes, underwater lava chimneys and Amazon rain forests. The narration begins with an earth rise as viewed from the moon, and in a later shot we observe from space a thin blue line, above which is uninhabitable black space and below which is our cocoon-like layer of thin air that is our atmosphere. If there is a theme that integrates these remarkable images it is the delicate balance between earth, air, and water, and, especially poignant, the impact that humanity has had on our tiny blue planet. This film will seem outdated with the new Planet Earth series produced by the BBC in 2006 and shown on the Discovery Channel, but it's still well worth watching and would make for a great evening of family fun.Movie Review: Just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
Definitely some impressive shots, but it's got nothing on "Planet Earth" (maybe I shouldn't have expected a comparison considering the price discrepancy b/tw the 2).
Anyway, it is a great way to show off you HD TV as background scenery at a party.
Movie Review: Beautiful, relaxing Blu-Ray
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good Blu-Ray transfer and has beautiful images and commentary of the kind you'd expect from the title. At 40 or so minutes it is rather short, but the accompanying feature is also worth having, though not as good.
