Summary: Whales: Another View
Review: It is wonderful trip in charming whales world. This film is distinguished by its beautiful photographing and clear sound of whales in their natural places. Young and old can see it alike.

The film conveys a nice message to protect sea life from extinction and its wonderful environment from pollution.

The more we enjoys this wonderful world. The more we feel that the sea life should be projected from extinction and its environment from pollution risks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good for meditation
Review: Ocean scenes are always great to see. Audio/Video quality is good. I like the background music.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suitable ocean scenes.
Review: This film on whales, originally shown in Imax, has excellent footage on whales and chronicles of their annual migration. It is narrated by an actor who starred in many films.
There are a suitable number of underwater scenes to make this an all around good presentation, but don't expect footage in quantity to equal it to "The Blue Planet", or "Secrets of the Ocean Realm" films. There are underwater clips to marvel at here. One of these is when the camera swims over a rocky ground, which contains killer whale skeletons. The best ocean scene of all. However, it is an excellent comparison and an essential film to own.
The VHS film quality is fine. The digital transfer is all right, nothing significant. The music looks good, playing as if recorded immediately after the Imax premiere. Your best buy, however, would be the newly mastered DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely amazing!!
Review: When I saw this movie for the very first time (National Geographic Theatre, Victoria BC, Canada) I was stunned! It is just beautiful! The music, photography and story-line (narrated by Star Trek's Patrick Stewart) and the quality of sound and vision altogether made this DVD a must-have! I still watch this movie time after time, it simply still amazes me...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top-notch in every regard.
Review: While it's tough to match the experience of an IMAX theater, this piece does an excellent job. Video quality is excellent, as good as any I have seen. Colors are vivid and crisp. Audio includes a good musical score (a bit loud at some points, but appropriate overall) and good use of under-water sound that makes good use of the soundstage. Narration is high quality. A good example of what a DVD can be, particularly for fans of the IMAX format.
