Ambient TV Jukebox Review

Ambient TV Jukebox
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This video was a gift to my mom who wanted to play something in the background at parties and family gatherings. The sound quality is wonderful and the locations are absolutely stunning. I also love the range of settings this dvd provides. While many of these type products highlight themed locations such as "beach" (a dock, a sunset, a boat) or "winter" (snowdrifts, fireplaces, a forest), Ambient TV Jukebox features all sorts of settings for any time of year or occasion. The waterfalls are two of my favorites and the goldfish can entertain children for hours. My mom has enjoyed this dvd and I really loved the price!

As in my other review regarding this BBC Atlas of the Natural World, I will confirm this complete series has no peer - including the recent ' Planet Earth ' production !!
And I repeat ... those who have not viewed this shockingly remarkable group of DVDs have no idea of what they are missing !!
This review is focused on the complete set of this view into the natural world. The whole thing is unbelievably outstanding !!

IMAX: Blue Planet Review

Move on to "Planet Earth" for everything this bluray isn't...
I normally refrain from posting negative reviews in case it's a question of taste and I may be in conflict with other people in that respect.
However in this case I am pretty sure this is a title to avoid for everybody. Especially when there is such an alternative as Planet Earth which presents a hundred times the content and imagery this IMAX adaptation strives to deliver.. and fails..
First of all, this is a very lousy transfer. They didn't bother remastering the 40 minute footage and the "dirt" of the master is visible in every frame. It wouldn't have taken a large team to edit them out. Frankly it's the most disappointing bluray transfer I've seen out of the 40 or more bluray titles I have.
Secondly, the narration, disjointed topics, duration of many of the space imagery which drag on for minutes without any movement contribute to a mindnumbingly boring viewing experience. You'll notice you'll be hardpressed not to forward to the next scene every other minute (and let's admit it, there are not that many to start with)
There's also an older similar bonus segment in the bluray, with even worse visuals and mostly resembling SD instead of HD in many places..
In short, I'd strongly suggest you skip this bluray in favor of the stunning Planet Earth if you've not grabbed it yet.

From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth, our only home.

Disney Nature Earth (2009) Review

Disney Nature Earth (2009)
Average Reviews:

I bought this because of the way it was advertised. It was said that they followed 3 families, polar bear, whale and elephant families. I already saw BBC Planet Earth and I have a copy. I knew that it was made from footage taken at the same time that planet earth was filmed by BBC however I thought, because of the hype, that it would have additional footage of those 3 particular animal families that maybe they didn't put in the other films because of time constraints or they didn't want to dwell too much on one thing. I was wrong The footage on Disney's DVD is exactly the same. They show a lot of footage that does not pertain to any of the 3 groups to fill the added time. The photography is good, the views breathaking and worth watching but if you have a copy of the BBC planet earth series, don't buy it; you already have a copy of all the footage on those. There is nothing new here and it does not follow the 3 families in detail as advertised. If you don't have the plant earth dvds and you want a much more shortened version you would enjoy this.
