Rating: Summary: Bad Quality, Very Disappointing Review: Cool DVD for chillin' out. The kids even enjoyed this feature filled aquarium DVD. The seller was right on with the fast delivery and quality product. I'd recommend getting this one with all 5 aquariums for a better variety and value. Spin a big boy, turn on the aquarium, and relax.
Rating: Summary: My new fish tank..... Review: Earlier this year I saved my pennies and bought a 50" plasma screen. It's great for home cinema but when I'm entertaining guests and not watching the screen, it's a large black hole on the wall of my living room, until now that is.This DVD is the perfect solution. Instead of being faced with a boring featureless black void, my guests can now gaze at my fabulous collection of marine fish. The bonus is, I never have to clean the tank or feed the fish! I bought the Coral Tank version but I assume they are all variations on a theme and would perform more or less the same function. I Take on board what other viewers have said about the size of the fish on a smaller screen, but on the plasma screen, the proportions are perfect and I think, very realistic. The DVD also has some extra features for your PC including a fishy screen-saver, which gives a slideshow of each of the inhabitants of the tank. It also has printable high-quality photos in PDF format and a copy of Acrobat Viewer if you do not already have it. I love it and I intend to buy the other versions!
Rating: Summary: #1 WORST PURCHASE Review: I cannot remember ever being more dissappointed after purchasing a product. The music stinks, the sound effects stink, and the aquarium looks like it was filled an hour before the taping. It is so cloudy it would make any aquarium enthusiast cringe. Save your money and take your camcorder to your local aquarium for better quality footage.
Rating: Summary: Bad Quality, Very Disappointing Review: I could have done better with my home camcorder. I was hoping this would show off my new HDTV, but delivers a VCR quality picture. Highly recommend you look elsewhere.
Rating: Summary: AQUARIA IS AWFUL. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Review: I just received and watched 'Aquaria' and am astounded that these people see fit to charge money for this trash!!! I recently had a high-end 50" plasma / surround sound system installed and I thought Aquaria would be something like the impressive aquatic computer generated screen savers available today. What did I get? Some lousey, low-end video (no, not even filmed) of murkey fishtanks. Total ripoff!!! You'll have more fun watching wet towels dry. I would have given it no stars had it been an option!
Rating: Summary: Perfect! Review: It's a fish tank on your TV! How could you go wrong?
Rating: Summary: (just) acceptable Review: the grades I give for the 5 aquarium types are:
Classic: close-up 4 stars, wide 3 stars; Freshwater: close-up 3-4 stars, wide 2-3 stars; Coral Reef: close-up 4 stars, wide 2 stars; Natural: close-up 2-3 stars, wide 1-2 stars; Exotic: close-up 2-3 stars, wide 0-1 star
The playing time (of each aquarium) of close-ups is 7-8 minutes (should've been longer). The wide shots playing time is 25-27 minutes on cd 1 (classic, coral reef, natural) and 40 minutes on cd 2 (exotic, freshwater).
The classic and freshwater aquaria are nice enough to look at in the wide shots, also because of the background but the other aquaria aren't really examples of fine composition in that area.
Background music/noise choices: not too bad.
A third cd, more time for the close-ups and more attention for aquarium composition would've made this collection (a lot) better !
Rating: Summary: Waste of time Review: This dvd looks so bad. I have a screen saver better than this. I would have rather had a video tape of a fish tank.
Rating: Summary: A Plain Fish Bowl Would Have Been Better Review: This is the worst attempt of an aquarium I have ever seen. Having a plain fish bowl with one fish would have been better. Basicaly the camera stays in one spot, with may be 2 fish to look at, and they barely move around. Then to make it worst the background is void of any color, its just gray and horrible. I got my DVD and through it into the trash. If I had a fire place I would have burned it! This DVD is only worth .99 cents at the .99 cent store.
