 Too limited, too short!! January 2, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD in anticipation of migrating to Australia. I was expecting a well balanced documentary about Australia: history, wildlife, people, cultures etc. The DVD promises 74 min, so it should be able to cover all that. But after about 30 minutes of in itself interesting material, the DVD was done already. I felt very disappointed, as I expected many more minutes and much more than just a few animals and even some repeating scenes.
 Infomercial?? December 5, 2007

I was disappointed with the DVD, of course the IMAX format is great, stunning images...but there is no life. It comes across as an infomercial on Australia, and we have seen most of the areas pictured many times. Very superficial.
I love Australia, a great place to visit, I wanted more of the people, more of the country, more of the history...

Australia: Land Beyond Time (IMAX) [Blu-ray]
Only 45 minutes of video, not the advertised 75 minutes. I guess they took into account the "B Roll" stuff, which did not look like it was filmed in HD. The production was quite bad as well. Look at desert, look at kangaroos, look at desert, look at more kangaroos. No cities, just outback, a few more animals, and a brief lesson on continental drift and quite repetitive concerning...kangaroos. Don't waste your money in my opinion.
 Ok, not as good as expected November 19, 2007
I expected more video of some of the scenic areas in Australia. This DVD focuses on the animals in Ausralia and the terrain. I was hoping it would include something on the Great Barrier Reef but it didn't. The video was good quality and the narration was informative.
 Not for Tourism January 9, 2007

This was not exactly what I expected. Since I've been planning a trip Down Under, I thought the movie would showcase some of the more popular places that people would visit, so I could get a visual of what I was hoping to see while there. Instead I got more of a National Geographic flora/fauna of the outback, perspective. It is a great film about the outback, its wildlife and climate, but for tourism information it doesn't have what I was looking for to help plan my trip.
