Movie Reviews of Galapagos [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: excellence in documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an in-depth scrutiny of Galapagos mostly about the amazing animal species which inspired Charles Darwin. It also covers the geography and today's challenges all in beautiful 1080p resolution. This one blu-ray disk has 3 parts x 50 minutes, which is handy to view the whole series over some period of time. I have a photographer friend who has burnt a CD for me with lots of digital photos of Galapagos from his recent trip. I noticed that lots of still photos can be produced by pressing pause button while playing this documentary; all images are superb. Excellent value for money, particularly for those who love the great nature, photography and national geographic subscribers with keen interest in evolution. I'm glad that there was no region code lock, as I wasn't 100% sure whether I could watch it in Australia.Movie Review: Wonderful production
Summary: 5 Stars
It is quite unbelievable how the BBC manages to produce high quality, beautifully shot documentaries time after time. Galapagos is no exception. It provides a thorough examination of each of the 3 main islands that make up this fascinating archipelago. The animals present in these islands are amazing. Reviewers before have noted that this documentary is biased towards evolutionism and concentrates too much on that, that is true, it sometimes feels like a biography of Darwin and unfortunately this productions seems to present evolutionism as the absolute truth, which I do not accept. In any case, one should not be deterred to view this series, they are very informative and the areas are so beautiful I seriously wish I could just float in the beautiful water all day long. Great picture and sound on the Blu ray.Movie Review: Amazing documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
I was hesitating and a bit skeptical when picking up this blu-ray from the humongous list of available nature-related documentaries. This blu-ray definitely worthed the price. Just put it into the player to have a quick look-and-browse of its content and ended up watching the whole content with my 6year old daughter. Since that first time we watched it together another 3 times. Its absolutely amazing. I wish they'd come out with the 3D version of this documentary. The quality was surprising me the most. I bought a couple of blu-rays in the past, mostly movies and I can tell that they are nowhere nearby this one as far as clarity of the images, motions.
It's a great choice to anybody who loves to virtually visit distant places with amazing populations and species.
Movie Review: Great Nature Documentary : Beautiful Scenes & Exotic Wildlife
Summary: 5 Stars
Galapagos may not be as stunning as Planet Earth, but that doesn't mean it's not a great nature film with beautiful scenes and exotic wildlife. If you are not familiar with the Islands featured in the film, than you will enjoy learning about them and why they are historically important. The cinematography is well done, and the narrator has a pleasant voice that doesn't stand out from the film (as it shouldn't). The three scenes are about 50 minutes each, and the focus is primarily on the formation and life cycle of the islands and the wildlife that call them home. There are great shots of animals under the water as we've come to expect, and the music to some of these is enjoyable. If you enjoy nature and great cinematography, you will enjoy Galapagos.Movie Review: Outstanding Nature Documentary on the Galapagos Islands...Rivals Planet Earth!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Documentary is absolutely amazing, especially on the eyes! This has got to be one the finest looking Blu Ray title out there...Vivid colors, and lifelike. You can even say this look just as incredible as Planet Earth, which is produced by the same company (BBC). The movie itself is very entertaining and informative. The sound is great too, however, it's not outstanding, as it is just 2.0 stereo, but with most home theater systems, it sounds pretty darn good. I can honestly say this is one of the top Blu Ray purchases I have made, and I own over 40 blu ray titles. At one time during the movie, I seriously forgot I was watching the TV, as it really seems as if you are there. Give this a buy...you will not be disapointed!
