 This was my first Imax purchase March 10, 2001
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
and the film was so good I went out and bought more Imax films. Unfortunaley not all of the Imax films are as good as this one. This film has everything going for it the photography and naration are top notch. The film keeps moving and your never bored. DVD'S are expensive and it is easey to get hook when buy a good one. There are many good Imax films but not all of them are worth the price. This one and The Living Sea stand out above the rest in my opinion. The Adventures in Wild California is another one though it has not been release on DVD that I have seen are just excellent. On the other hand films like Niagrea,Yellowstone and The Grand Canyon are a big step down. In those films they try to tell a story and it comes off more like amatuer night. When I view an Imax film I look for spectacular images,fun and for it to be educational. The first three films I have mention fit the bill.

This was my first IMAX related DVD purchase. I am very impressed with both the incredible photography, and the stunning audio track. If you have 5.1 Dolby Digital, you will be richly rewarded. Covers the major wildlife species of the state, and some good stuff from the galcier fields in southern Alaska. The only complaint I have about the audio is that the narration is sometimes overshadowed by the music. But, only in small sections. Very minor complaint. I have never seen a DVD with so many different language tracks. You can even watch the video without narration only the music, and natural sounds. I wish it was longer, but most IMAX films are only about 40 minutes anyway.
Visual masterpiece. Alaska gets to be explained and enjoyed. June 30, 2000

Sometimes the impresive achievements of the Imax and dvd technologies exceed the quality of the content of a certain documentary. This is not the case. If any, this video keeps us longing for more, much more. Since the beginning of this highly entertaining video we feel commited to watch one of the untamed scenaries of our world. Virgin Landscapes (rivers and mountains that are yet to be named), wild and funny animals (such as the black bear taking a bath, the humpback whales bubblenetting, the wild polar bear cubs and the stubborn salmon) and an extreme weather that changes the sorrounding scenary on a daily basis are described and tought with either the lightness of humour, or the concern of a nature fan. If you like to watch beautiful images over and over, buy this dvd.
 Another visual feast! March 31, 2000

I love nature and I love my high-end audio-video system...The IMAX series discs offer like minded people to get a trully awesome visual eye-feast.The narration by C.Heston fits the somber,harsh yet beautiful imagery of this DVD.I know some people complain that for the money its to short.However,the thrill of seeing such sharp,clear,pristine views in my view,makes up for it.And,until more networks broadcast true HDTV programs,this is the best us nature lovers can get!
