Movie Reviews of The Life of Birds
Movie Review: Excellent!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Breathtaking photography! I have used the DVDs in my classroom of 3rd graders, and my husband and I have enjoyed many hours of pure beauty and amazement of birds. Even a non-bird lover would be in "awe" of this awesome collection.Movie Review: If you love birds, you'll love this.
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, if I could give it 10 stars, I would. It was all I had hoped for and more. David Attenborough's ability to get "hands on" experience with most of the birds in the series will make even the most seasoned birder jealous. ;)
The camera angles were awesome.
Now, my only bad remark about the series. The DVD video quality. It is VHS at best, and looks like a Divx hack of some movie... not that I would know what one would look like.
I guess Planet Earth ruined me on really good DVD quality. If this series was to be re-released in real DVD quality or even hi-def I would buy it again. ;)
Movie Review: Superb
Summary: 5 Stars
Just casting my positive vote to yet another of David Attenborough's great documentaries.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: funny, interesting, mesmerizing
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not even a particular fan of bird, not a bird-watcher, if you will, but I loved this. The birds represented in this educational and entertaining video are true characters. Some are incredibly funny to watch. Others take my breath away with their beauty and grace. I am amazed and I am now a bird fan and watcher, and I have ordered several bird books to begin my new hobby. Also plan to pick up my camera again to try to get some shots. This has been both fun and inspirational.Movie Review: Great program with INFERIOR picture quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I love BBC's programs, but the quality of these DVDs is disappointing, and frankly offensive when you consider its high price. Just compare this against PLANET EARTH or BLUE PLANET and you will see what I mean.
I suspect the problem may be that this particular set was licensed to Warner Brothers for DVD production, and they obviously didn't put any effort into it. PLANET EARTH and BLUE PLANET, among others, are not. Why they gave this to Warner I do not know. Perhaps they are recording an all-new bird series to replace it.
In short, buy this set because it's a good program, but get a good deal.
