Movie Reviews of Wild Pacific [Blu-ray]Movie Review: WORTH - EVERY - PENNY.
I am a pretty picky movie watcher - just ask my family. Whatever storytelling elements might possibly be improved here (I did't really notice) are completely overwhelmed by the jaw-dropping hi-def videography. I watched this with Panasonic Blu-ray player and my Optoma 720p projector with 5.1 surround sound and was blown away. Some of the stuff they show in this program defies imagination as to how they managed to capture it. BBC is the best in this genre because they not only educate, they create a visual work of art that is mesmerizing in its aesthetic beauty. The shots of huge curling waves from under the surface was absolutely stunning. The water is so crystal clear, the video resolution so fine, and the slow motion so perfect that you can see every little vortex, every bubble, creating images you have never, ever seen before. Luckily the standard BBC Diaries at the end of each episode show you how they created some of these shots, and that makes everything that more compelling. I thought I would miss David Attenborough's narration, but the other Brit featured here does a fine job. The script combines perfectly with the imagery to convey just how vast the Pacific is, and how incredible it is that life has flourished so well in what the video so aptly describes as a 'desert of water'. I would gladly pay twice the price for this gem of a video.
