Customer Rating:
Summary: excellent production
Comment: This is a beautifully filmed and edited production. First rate + great HD. This is much, much better than Coral Sea Dreaming... no contest.
Customer Rating:
Summary: better than I thought
Comment: This is really cool. pretty good chill music, plays on 360, and real natural landscapes. just what i need for dive motivation. don't expect finding Nemo and ur fine.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not Bad, Definitely Worth Owning
Comment: I bought this, because I love the subject. The photography is very good, and the pictures for the most part are quite sharp. There are a few scenes, mostly close ups that aren't quite as sharp as the rest, but they are in the minority of this disc.
I do have issues with the sound. I found the 5.1 soundtrack to be rather bright sounding, to the point that it hurt my ears. The 2 channel "mellow" soundtrack was better.
Overall, this is a nice disc, but not as good as my standard for this subject, "Coral Sea Dreaming", which is still better overall and highly recomended, but not available in HD
Customer Rating:
Summary: Your own gigantic salt-water aquarium
Comment: I love the video. I only wish that the viewer would be given the option of different audio music from a menu. Classical, reggae, calypso, or light jazz would be a great option. I really get tired of the new age-like instrumental music after awhile. If you are viewing it at home turn down the audio and play your choice of music on your stereo. This is why I gave it 4 stars. The high definition quality is good. I am viewing it on a 1080p HDTV set using Toshiba's first HD DVD player.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Relatively good
Comment: The HD quality was relatively good given the challenges of underwater photography. Lighting was surprisingly well done. The image clarity was slightly less than the best I've seen for HD
The music was decidedly not my style. It seemed very new age.
I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in diving related content. I wouldn't hold this out as the pinnacle of HDTV quality, but it's relatively good. The subject is relaxing.
