Movie Reviews of HDScape Sampler [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Beautiful samples from different blu ray discs
Summary: 4 Stars

A lot of nice fishes, spectacular places....I think that it is a very good experience of high definition for 3 dollars.This blu ray disc was very cheap and you receive even more than what you have paid for.

Movie Review: Beautiful Scenes. A must buy for anyone going into Blu-ray.
Summary: 4 Stars

Would recommend it to any who is just getting on the Blu-ray bandwagon. Great for checking out the new BD players.

Movie Review: I'm glad I got to try this first.
Summary: 3 Stars

First off, this is showing as pre-order on Amazon. I'm not sure why. I have a copy in my hand right now and you can buy this from several other online retailers including HDscape's own website.

Essentially this disc is a sampling of 8 full-length discs/movies you can buy. I'm really glad I got this disc. I was close to pulling the trigger on the fireplace and aquarium discs, but after watching the sampler, I know to stay away from the full versions.

The fireplace footage wasn't what I expected. I thought I would get video of various fireplaces that would make your flat panel look like the real thing along with some great audio of the fire crackling. Instead it included camera panning from left to right, various fire close-ups and even background music. Yuck.

The type of footage in the aquarium video was very similar to the fireplace. It included fish and coral close-ups, panning and zooming and even "not-so-serene" predatory feeding. My girlfriend didn't like watching the little fiddler crab getting snatched up by the puffer fish. Anyhow, I was really hoping it was going to turn my plasma into a virtual aquarium. No dice.

The rest of the videos were very much like what you could see on Discovery HD anytime during the week. Nice quality, but they weren't really special at all.

3 stars for serving a purpose.


Movie Review: Just a sampler
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a sampler of individual movies you can buy I believe. For the reviewer that commented on the panning fireplace video, the actual Blu-ray disk has four different fires, one continual, one from match lighting to dying embers, a smaller romantic fire and, lastly, the one that appears to be sampled here where the view pans and zooms giving you the "best angles and shots".Fireplace: Visions of Tranquility [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Better than buying the full version..
Summary: 3 Stars

Sampler is pretty decent. better than buying the full versions of some of the ones out there.
The down side--too many fad ins and outs. camera cuts are too fast.. would prefer if they just left the camera on a scene ( ie. fish) and let er go! Was hoping to use this as a background during parties..
music on the DVD is goofy..obviously better to put your own stuff on..
bottom line.. wait till other BluRay "back grounds" come out.
