Movie Reviews of Nature's Journey [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Beautiful Piece
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a beautiful and lyrical look at the fusion of the spiritual and natural world. The images and music work in perfect harmony. The digital imagery and manipulation is never distracting, but works with the film and the source images to enhance the experience. This is a great DVD to watch in pieces, to play in the background at a house party or while you are working on your own creative endeavor - the photographs and animation are sure to inspire you.Movie Review: Absolutely superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Both sound and video are great examples of what can be acheived by blu-ray high definition.
For my family, this film is one we'll watch over and over again to appreciate the magnificence of nature captured by masters of the photographic art.
Highly recommended and a must for your blu-ray collection.
Movie Review: For focus and inspiration
Summary: 5 Stars
The best creative works inspire more creative works - and that's just what this does. I found the images and music to create a great atmosphere to which I can write, read, and either focus on a task or be inspired to create something new.
Definitely worth checking out. And I hope they make another one!
Movie Review: Dissapointed, but it sounds great.
Summary: 3 Stars
I hate to write negative comments about video, because it is very subjective. I purchased the disk for its appeal of HD-Nature images. There is no question that director John Banks worked long and hard to put this journey of nature on disk.
The problem I have with video is the short duration of screen cuts from one image to another along with rendered symmetrical morphing (Taking half of an image and mirroring it) which lends itself to visual distractions. There are morphed images of objects, places and things that present the effects of someone who may be on a drug trip. I found myself agitated after watching it, rather than relaxed. There is too much artistic license to make synthetic nature. One of the side effects of morphing fixed images into HD-video is that the rendering process of the scenery results in loses of its razor sharp clarity, such as water droplets on a leaf.
If you want a great HD video of nature, try "Living Landscapes HD The World's Most Beautiful Places". This video is produced in both HD formats, and gives you a beautiful un-modified look at nature in high definition with relaxing music. To give credit where its do, I have to say that the DTS-HD audio track on this disk is outstanding with excellent clarity and dynamic range.
One last note, I almost sent the disk back because my SONY BDP-300 was just sitting there for nearly three minutes saying "Loading" when finally it loaded the menu. Other blue-ray disks load under this time. This disk is intense with the highest bit rate I have seen yet, so you may have to give the disk a bit more time to load than normal.
Movie Review: Planet Earth meets Fantasia meets Pink Floyd
Summary: 2 Stars
I could only stand this DVD for about 15 minutes. My wife finally said, "Please put on something else, it's giving me a headache!" I tried it out from Netflix before deciding to buy. I didn't care for the "music," nor did I care for the tidbits of animation layered over the nature scenes. I did like the nature scenes on their own; I just wish they had left them alone. Granted, this sort of thing is subjective, and while I can see why some people might really enjoy it (thus two stars instead of one), it is certainly not for me, nor for my wife, for that matter, so two votes against.
