My Sony Blu-ray is consistently churning out 30-40MB of content per second. Overall sound is not quite theater quality.As for the content: it's well shot, well scripted, well narrated.
very entertaining and worth the money. The iceberg crashing scene you will not catch it on HD anywhere else.
This disc has great HD quality. One review already commented the LFE (Low Frequency Component) is not present which I agree.
Only downside: 1) animals scenes are great but need more geology 2) too short. 1920x1080 as advertised.
The reviewer who thinks it's not HD needs to take a lesson in HD.However, something left to be desired on the audio side.
Darn. While watching this disc I thought "wow, this DVD would be great if it really were in high-definition". This is not a high-definition DVD (as already noted by another reviewer, the picture quality is the same as that of a regular DVD). That's a pity because the photography is great.
Overall the disk is good and I think it's probably worth buying if you want a primer to Alaska. Unfortunately, I guess I will forever judge outdoor content to the standard set by Planet Earth which really isn't fair. This disk has great HD quality and the scenery is generally pretty good but the it's a bit like the travel channel, a bit like a sales pitch to travel Alaska. The scenes move along quickly and you wish the DVD were a little longer with better scene selection.
What else can be said, a must have for the nature enthusiasts which I am one of.
Not much for the amount that blu-rays cost, however. Tis is a short blu-ray movie that is somewhat interesting.
