DVD Reviews of The IMAX Best of Oceans Collection (Galapagos/Into the Deep/Survival Island)
DVD Review: IMAX GALAPAGOS
Summary: 5 Stars
I DO NOT REGRET PURCHASING THIS DVD. IT IS THE MOST COMPLETE, BEST FILMED & EDITED VIEW OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A DIVE TRIP, BUT NEVER EVEN DREAMED THAT AN IN DEPTH LOOK ABOUT THE ISLANDS COULD BE SO REVEALING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT THESE ISLANDS, BUT CANNOT TRAVEL. IT IS EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR. DVD Review: A little disappointing
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie was a little disappointing. We had hoped for so much more information but it just wasn't there. The scenery was spectacular and I did learn about the Galapagos but it did not live up to what I was hoping for. DVD Review: Does not do the Enchanted Islands any justice...
Summary: 2 Stars
Used to some great IMAX productions, I was very keen on seeing this production, but was very disapointed with the cinematic result of such a large and costly undertaking. The production was marred with challenges, including reduced flora and fauna after a devastating El Nino and the tragic death of two team members. I fully understand that these and other circumstances diminished the amount of quality footage the crew was able to obtain during their 8 weeks in the Enchanted Islands, however, I would have hoped for a documentary that truly introduces these natural marvels to the viewers instead of focusing on a very superficial plot of a marine biologist getting her thrills in exploring the deep ocean floor surrounding the islands in a submarine. There is so much to tell and show about these islands that a one hour program will never be able to do it justice, however I would have expected a better effort in documenting the uniqueness of the flora and fauna and the history of the islands, including the dangers presented to them through fishing, over population and introduced species. I sincerely hope that in the near future a producer finds the courage to do these islands justice by returning with an IMAX team to film a documentary that will allow the world to share the wonders of the Enchanted Islands - maybe he will want to call it "IMAX - Galapagos Revisited"DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed with this movie. The director had an interesting, unique environment he could have pointed his camera toward - the island's vegetation and wildlife are the two things I had hoped to see. Instead the first half of the movie is focused on a woman biologist's bare legs, and the second half is focused on the people and the sub retrieving deep water marine life.
Perhaps the film is targeted toward younger audiences which the director feels can't assimilate more than a few species of animals, birds, and fish.
For an IMAX feast for the eyes, I recommend Amazon. It's scenic and informative.
DVD Review: Galapagos: Again worthy of the IMAX name
Summary: 4 Stars
The film was wonderful! The backgroud music is flawlessly matched with the wonderfully crisp photography. The only reason I did not award it a five was that I wish Darwin could have played a larger role; although, he was mentioned several times. Without my bias it would be a five. I liked that the movie focused on a female scientist which is still the exception for nature videos these days. I would highly recomend this film for any age group from elementary to college. For the price, it would be tough if not impossible to find and equal.
