Galapagos [Blu-ray]

On the box of the disc it said due to difficult environments some footage of the video was not shot in HD. Well, I can't seem to notice any particular time point when the video was not in great resolution and color! I think this video should have been part of the Planet Earth series and bundled with the other discs.

This is a very beautiful visual of God's creation and how He has made all life in such precise detail to the environment in which they live. Nobody in their right mind can watch this presentation of God's creation and believe that evolution had anything to do with it. God has made every living creature so perfectly for its environment. Darwin shouldn't have even been mentioned in this documentary. It only cheapen it. It should give credit where credit is due.

Not full HD only 1080i - but looks great nevertheless. In fact I'd say it looks crisper than some of my full HD titles. I don't think Tilda Swinton has the right sort of voice for it, but it's only a minor gripe. Where was David Attenborough that day?

This Blu-ray DVD is good quality. But it is not worth so much more than DVD. It is just like watching the Discovery Channel. No surprises.

Friends, i rarely write movie and disc reviews on amazon. After witnessing this splendor, i was pulled, compelled, overwhelmed to write anything on this title! it deserves 20 Stars! BBC HD has done it again.

As others have pointed out, if you watched Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray], GALAPAGOS take you to the next level! The narration, visual photography, the sound and the context of the entire idea is just mesmerizing.

To show how much i was into this, i had just come back from a 16 hour shift (this week has been like this all 5 days) i came back and found this amongst other amazon goodies. I was looking forward to it but was not expecting what i saw. I played it in and there i was moved for the next 2 hours until my body and brain could not take it anymore. i had to sleep due to exhaustion! but rest assured i continued when i got back the next day. I had no idea how much beauty and life still exists on this planet despite us plundering the earth's resources.

This title only can be appreciated fully on Bluray! i don't want to make this a DVD Format discussion but anyone watching this on a 92'' diagonal HD Projection screen can appreciate what this disc has to offer.

I have other productions of nature like films also on Bluray but nothing compares to this title. If you love your theater setup and want to push the visual boundaries of any setup, get this disc! (possibly even Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray] as well!) i also got Alaska: Spirit of the Wild (IMAX) [Blu-ray] but will review it after a while.

happy watching everyone!
