5 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL   October 9, 2008
The is why you buy blu-ray disk and Plasma TV. The images are off the charts if you are into nature and nature shows this is a must for your collections. AWESOME!!!


5 out of 5 stars Wow!   October 9, 2008
This was a great video if you believe in the Circle of Life. I watched it 3 times in one sitting because I wanted to see more. And each time I watched it, I noticed more detail and heard more facts! Should be viewed w/ low lighting in the room and you'll feel like you're on the Serengeti with James Earl Jones!


5 out of 5 stars SUPERB   September 17, 2008
This is a fantastic armchair look at the Serengetti, a place I'll never see on my own and can only rely on professional cinematographers to make it live. It appeals to all ages and the photography is so vivid, it seems like the animals can come directly through the screen. James Early Jones is the perfect narrator.


4 out of 5 stars Africa: The Serengeti (IMAX) [Blu-ray]   September 7, 2008
The DVD was really good. Great color ect. I have a rather large TV and it showed well, but I was constantly thinking how much better it would be at the IMAX theater. I guess once you have watched a movie or show at the IMAX then it spoils their videos for home use a little. All in all thought, it was worth the watch.

This is not a comment on video quality nor producer's skill. Just a warning. Often folks buy animal stories - and now videos - for young kids. Indeed, one great naturalist recently bemoaned that in a test of identification, most young children cannot identify real animals - only the cartoons. This kind of video would seem like a natural remedy.

But somehow the psyche of the producer is fixed on the 'cycle of life' (translation: one animal ripping another animal's throat out). We have to make a distinction between real educational value (How much land does a carnivore require? What is the ecology mix here? What weather or land qualities are at play?) vs. an animal snuff movie.

I am not sure this video has made that leap of insight.

Not for tots.
