Blu-ray Reviews of March of the Penguins [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: not upto the mark !
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this Blu ray disc for over a couple of weeks, I really dint get a chance to check out this feature.
Before that let me tell you , I watched this movie in the theater, and it was absoultely phenomenal. I was in tears by the end.
Now I was expecting the same crystal clear picture and perfect audio, when i got this bluray disc. I was dissapointed
I have a 50" 1080P LCD tv. and a PS3 as a bluray disc player. And I loaded up this disc, at the beginning the pictures were vibrant, and the sound was ok , (I have surround speaker system).
But at the middle during the Mother penguins march to the sea in search of food, and at the Storm sequence , the picture got HORRIBLE AND it felt as if i was watching this thing on analog tv broadcast with bad reception.
Now I know that this documentary was shot with different cameras at various points (calm beginnings, underwater, storms and blizzards), hence the bad picture. But bluray should have corrected these problems, when they mastered this disc.
I am totally dissapointed, Excellent movie , but made to feel horrible by BLURAY.
Description of March of the Penguins [Blu-ray]
In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to find the perfect mate and start a family. This courtship will begin with a long journey - a journey that will take them hundreds of miles across the continent by foot, in freezing cold temperatures, in brittle, icy winds and through deep, treacherous waters. They will risk starvation and attack by dangerous predators, under the harshest conditions on earth, all to find true love.March of the Penguins instantly qualifies as a wildlife classic, taking its place among other extraordinary films like Microcosmos and Winged Migration. French filmmaker Luc Jacquet and his devoted crew endured a full year of extreme conditions in Antarctica to capture the life cycle of Emperor penguins on film, and their diligence is evident in every striking frame of this 80-minute documentary. Narrated in soothing tones by Morgan Freeman, the film focuses on a colony of hundreds of Emperors as they return, in a single-file march of 70 miles or more, to their frozen breeding ground, far inland from the oceans where they thrive. At times dramatic, suspenseful, mischievous and just plain funny, the film conveys the intensity of the penguins' breeding cycle, and their treacherous task of protecting eggs and hatchlings in temperatures as low as 128 degrees below zero. There is some brief mating-ritual violence and sad moments of loss, but March of the Penguins remains family-friendly throughout, and kids especially will enjoy the Antarctic blue-ice vistas and the playful, waddling appeal of the penguins, who can be slapstick clumsy or magnificently graceful, depending on the circumstances. A marvel of wildlife cinematography, this unique film offers a front-row seat to these amazing creatures, balancing just enough scientific information with the entertaining visuals. --Jeff Shannon
