DVD Reviews of Australia: Land Beyond Time (IMAX) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Australia
Summary: 4 Stars

I give this one three and a half stars. Great I-Max photography as usual, however maybe just not enough time to cover more of Australia, being such a vast land. Seemed to be focused on just a few points. But, great family show. Glad to have it in the collection.

DVD Review: Cover mislead me, not for 2009 HDTVs
Summary: 1 Stars

The cover says this is a 75 minute DVD. Well, the program is only the usual IMAX 40+ minute version. Also, this says "large format widescreen" and "16x9 widescreen" format." It would have been better quality if they stuck with the original IMAX dimensions, as this low-detail letterbox is not anamorphic and has relatively low quality by today's standards (it has been for some years now!). The program itself is OK to good in places but not exceptional. Some years ago (right after VHS), this would have been acceptable. Production standards have increased substantially (see BBC productions like Planet Earth and Galapagos, for example).

DVD Review: Australia: Land Beyond Time
Summary: 5 Stars

As an ex-patriate Australian living in the USA, it made me very homesick.

Beautifully composed, with a wonderful dialogue (though done by an Englishman for international appeal, I think) and technically correct, it should be part of all Elementary Schools' video library!

DVD Review: Australia: Land Beyond Time (IMAX) [Blu-ray]
Summary: 3 Stars

I enjoyed this Imax presentation. The piture quality in the 45 min main feature is pin sharp, although it becomes a bit soft on the Imax "big horizon" flying scenes, the sound clear and powerful.
It presents a good insight to the history and evolution of the landscape and the animals in the various zones around Australia.
Additional features included a making of and a B roll, presented in std def and didn't add much to the package.
