Editorial Reviews: The inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands are a living laboratory, a geological conveyor belt that has given birth to and seen the death of many species of plants and animals. As the western islands rise up from the sea offering a chance of life, the eastern islands sink back beneath the waves guaranteeing only death. Between the two are the middle islands; fertile, lush land in its prime that contains an incredible diversity of life. Nowhere else on the Earth are the twin processes of creation and extinction of species so starkly apparent... see it all unfold before your eyes in this stunning series filmed entirely in high definition from the BBC and the National Geographic Channel.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good quality footage with some amazing views Comment: I bought this blu ray disk after I got my blu ray player and it really showed off the capabilities of the TV. The footage was of high quality and the views of the various islands and wildlife brought out some amazing colors. I've seen the Africa blu ray disk from the same series and I can say that Galapagos was much better in our opionion. It had much more variety and was longer in play back time than Africa. I would recommend this disk to anyone who wants to see some outstanding footage of wildlife in the Galapagos. Customer Rating: Summary: just as good as Planet Earth Comment: Honestly - I feel angry I didn't know about this before. I have almost worn out my Planet Earth box set in Blu Ray. Galapagos is just as spectacular visually. It's nice to really get into a wonderful place like these islands. Planet Earth had to just touch on certain areas, but this really gets into it. It's wonderful. I highly rec it to anyone, young or old. If you liked Planet Earth, you will love this. Customer Rating: Summary: outstanding Comment: Fantastic shots and a good history of the place and of Darwin. Some education mixed in with exquisite sites. Customer Rating: Summary: A great journey !!! Comment: This serie of the Galapagos islands is truly amazing, I can watch it in days and never get bored, top quality and top brief narator. A three stories merged in one. A must have ! Greetings from Macedonia ! Blu-ray is conquering the world with these discs. Customer Rating: Summary: Blu-ray version is stunning Comment: Although it's not 1080p but 1080i the picture quality is amazing. There are some shots that literally take your breath away. Galapagos shoreline, the colors of the rocks under the sea. I didn't watch it on DVD, only on Blu-ray so I don't know how this would be without those images. If you own a blu-ray player and an hd tv then you must buy this disc. More Reviews
