Rating: Summary: Alaska: Spirit of the Wild Review: I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased this and now, having watched it, I'm so glad that I did. A:SotW is entertaining and enlightening... with breaktaking scenery and unexpected humor, courtesy of the Alaskan wildlife. (there's a scene with a black bear that's absolutely hilarious.) Charlton Heston's narration doesn't annoy or interfere with the scenes as some narrators do... I highly recommend this DVD become part of your collection, if only for the sheer beauty of the Alaskan landscape that is shown.
Rating: Summary: Alaska The Great Land Review: It was an IMAX experience, what else can be said. With the voice of Mr. Heston, and the oustanding scenery it is one NOT to be missed.
Rating: Summary: Visual masterpiece. Alaska gets to be explained and enjoyed. Review: Sometimes the impresive achievements of the Imax and dvd technologies exceed the quality of the content of a certain documentary. This is not the case. If any, this video keeps us longing for more, much more. Since the beginning of this highly entertaining video we feel commited to watch one of the untamed scenaries of our world. Virgin Landscapes (rivers and mountains that are yet to be named), wild and funny animals (such as the black bear taking a bath, the humpback whales bubblenetting, the wild polar bear cubs and the stubborn salmon) and an extreme weather that changes the sorrounding scenary on a daily basis are described and tought with either the lightness of humour, or the concern of a nature fan. If you like to watch beautiful images over and over, buy this dvd.
Rating: Summary: Oustanding photography and great content Review: This IMAX production is superb, It makes you feel you are right there. Excellently narrated with one of the most beautiful wild scenarios in the world, this DVD is a must to see. Great for individual and perfect for family viewing.
Rating: Summary: Alaska is exceptional Review: This IMAX video in dvd format represents a cinematic masterpiece. The breathtaking video and haunting audio truly capture the vastness and serenity of this great land. For anyone who has lived the dream of having visited Alaska, or for anyone who yearns for this frontier, "IMAX Alaska" will captivate your imagination and inspire your soul.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Video...Problem Audio Review: This is a spectacular video DVD.However, I note that, although it is listed as 5.1 audio, the Low Effects (LFE) are not used once in the transfer. They needed better audio transfers
Rating: Summary: Audio/Visual Treat Review: This was my first IMAX related DVD purchase. I am very impressed with both the incredible photography, and the stunning audio track. If you have 5.1 Dolby Digital, you will be richly rewarded. Covers the major wildlife species of the state, and some good stuff from the galcier fields in southern Alaska. The only complaint I have about the audio is that the narration is sometimes overshadowed by the music. But, only in small sections. Very minor complaint. I have never seen a DVD with so many different language tracks. You can even watch the video without narration only the music, and natural sounds. I wish it was longer, but most IMAX films are only about 40 minutes anyway.
Rating: Summary: Let the nature in your room. Review: Totally breathtaking piece of art. The very best art I have seen concerning given subject. Must have for anyone who can appreciate not only the beauty of nature but the very best of photography and sound combination.
Rating: Summary: Great family movie! Review: We watched this with our young family and it is a real treat! The movie is informative, breath-takingly beautiful, entertaining, and even humorous from time to time! What a wonderful family program! My daughter adds, "it shows many animals and sometimes they're funnier than little kids!"
