DVD Reviews of Coral Reef Adventure (IMAX) (2-Disc WMVHD Edition)
DVD Review: incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
The film the music was incredible. I believe this would be a great video for schools to use to teach children about coral reefs and the environment. Worth owning!!!!!!!!!!!!DVD Review: Coral Reef Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
I have really enjoyed this dvd. And as always, I am ready for more information.DVD Review: More of a PSA on endangered coral reefs
Summary: 4 Stars
I was able to see this film in an IMAX theatre. It was more of a PSA on dying coral reefs then anything else. Since this message definitely needs to get out there that aspect of this film did not bother me at all. That said, the scenerey was gorgeous and I appreciated the back story that went along with it. Neeson did an excellent job with narration, however I would really have liked a different soundtrack. If you enjoy these type of films I would also recommend the Jacque Cousteau Oddessey series. DVD Review: WOW WOW WOW !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been SCUBA diving and snorkeling and this is still the most amazing ocean view I have seen. The sound track is so relaxing...wonderful to watch even if you are not a diver! Great underwater imagery!!!DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I was so excited to receive this movie after reading the reviews that I even had it rush-delivered. Disappointing to say the very least. It says in the description that the movie length is 73 minutes. This is not true. When you get the DVD and look at the back cover, you'll see that the movie is 43 minutes, and the "making of" is 30 minutes.
The music may be Crosby, Stills and Nash, but some of it is not performed by them. The first song played was a reggae version of CS&N.
I thought the movie was going to be all about the coral reefs; that is, all underwater with stunning video images but a lot of it was old people in scuba gear talking.
I bought this DVD because after seeing Deep Blue, I was hooked on documentaries about inner space. I'm not happy with my purchase.
Description of Coral Reef Adventure (IMAX) (2-Disc WMVHD Edition)
Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 01/06/2004 Rating: NrLike any IMAX movie, Coral Reef Adventure is so vivid, vast, and colorful that you can't help but be astonished by its visual splendor. But this undersea exploration has a deeper, more serious agenda as well, warning its viewers that the natural magnificence of the world's most impressive coral reefs is, in most cases, a mere 30 years away from extinction due to the devastating effects of global (and oceanic) warming. Whether or not that timeframe is accurate (and there's not enough solid science presented here to prove it either way), it's tragically obvious that we are in the process of losing entire ecosystems that cannot be replaced, and when you witness these awesome coral reefs in their still-thriving vitality, you experience a sense of urgent responsibility toward our stewardship of planet Earth. By showing us the commitment and potentially life-threatening work of reef explorers and world-class undersea cinematographers Howard and Michele Hall, the film provides an all-access pass to some of the most exotic, playful, and dangerous creatures in the ocean, presented with the kind of intense, almost three-dimensional clarity that can only be achieved in the IMAX format. And while the giant-screen awesomeness of IMAX is lost in translation to DVD, Coral Reef Adventure offers the best-to-date use (on disc 2 of this two-disc set) of High Definition DVD-ROM formatting. For PC users equipped with Windows XP and Windows Media Player 9 series (or later) software, the amazing images in Coral Reef Adventure achieve an almost life-like resolution. The ultimate conclusion remains: If we don't do something to protect these delicate, endangered wonders of nature, we will lose a part of ourselves. --Jeff Shannon
