DVD Reviews of Visions of the Sea: Explorations by HDScape (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD)
DVD Review: Has its Moments... But Overall it's Average
Summary: 3 Stars
After buying the HDscape Sampler disk, I decided to take the plunge and purchase a few of their full length products in HD-DVD. One of those purchases was Visions of the Sea: Explorations. To sum it up quickly, the ambience is nice and comforting, but the picture quality is blurry and sometimes just dull.
Its a great video to have running in the background during a family/friend get together or as something soothing to watch to unwind from a hard day at work. As stated earlier, this video from HDscape isn't the sharpest overall picture I've seen from their other products, but their is a difference between the HD version and the standard version. Biggest complaints to the picture was that it was too blurry during scenes with brighter colors and that it just wasn't sharp enough during scenes with numerous fish and underwater plants. Again, I have to compare these underwater scenes with those of Planet Earth, which is vastly superior on every level in picture quality to this.
Visions of the Sea isn't a documentary either, merely ambience. Another HDscape product, Antarctica Dreaming, was both a documentary & ambient video. With all the different types of plantlike, creatures, and fish shown in this video, I would have loved to learn more about them.
So overall, Visions of the Sea: Explorations isn't a great video, but it's not bad either. Video quality stands out as the main problem, but the ambience strengthens the overall presentation. There are a couple of extras on the disk too, like previews from other HDscape products, but nothing exciting. Buy if you must, but there are other, much better, HD-DVD nature documentaries/ambience like Planet Earth and Antarctica Dreaming that I would recommend first.
