Summary: 4 Stars
Disk one "IMAX Blue Planet" is a great diversion, the story and commentary on disk one are somewhat boring I will admit, the visuals are sharp and clean as all BD releases are.
This is a two disk release, disk two has the IMAX film "The Dream is Alive" narrated by Walter Cronkite, I think this is the better of the two films, and I love the sound of Walter's voice as a commentator.
I had watched the second movie at the Kennedy Space Center on their IMAX screen when I was there a couple of years ago, I loved it then, but IMAX is difficult to watch; the screen is so big that at least my eyes cannot take in the whole screen at one time, forcing me to concentrate on one area at a time and missing other elements occurring on screen.
I truly enjoyed watching this on a HDTV, the Blu-ray quality makes it a high def delight, and both disks boast Dolby TrueHD 5.1 sound which made for great sound from both disks.
Neither are "feature presentations" as disk one is only 44 minutes, disk two is 37 minutes, but together they make a great diversion and are highly recommended.
Comparing this offering to the Planet Earth series is like comparing apples and oranges. Planet Earth is incredible, but it also costs (MSRP) of $100.00. I know this is not a Planet Earth review, but many have tried to compare this to it. I recommend that you get both of them, as I have.
If you love this genre, you will love these two movies. And if you're like me and love the commentary of Walter Cronkite, you will definitely love the second disk in the set.
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.
