Movie Reviews

What a blurry mess......
Bee | St. Paul, MN USA | 06/17/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)

"First off, I NEVER write reviews, but felt I needed to in this case. This blu-ray is so bad I literally took a look at the disc to make sure I wasn't sent the DVD version. The content I rate 3 stars given my family enjoyed it (including my 3 year old) but I have DVDs that look better upconverted than this film. When the best part of the HD experience is the dolby digital track (which is standard on DVDs) you know it's a stinker. The show looks so compressed and blurry its embarrassing to be considered hi-def. It wasn't even worth the $10 I paid for it during high definition week. Which I'm now officially convinced was 'clean out the garage and have a hi-def sale' week.



Since it looks like a dvd, and sounds like a DVD....I'm going to say you are getting a DVD in blu-ray packaging. If anyone is wondering, I have over 150 blu-rays, and I'm going to say this is the worst one I own.



The production value is horrible, at about the 30 minute mark, it pauses for about 3 seconds, I was thinking....is it over? Maybe it IS a dvd and I'm experiencing a layer change? It then goes into the next segment. It's all a little cheesy but relaxing. They could have done so much more with it though.



Bottom-line, save your money or buy the DVD version."
Poor picture quality

"Bought from Amazon for about $10.00 and it is worth about $5.00. Based on the reputation of National Geographic I thought the image would be outstanding, I was wrong. I don't think it even qualifies as a good SD upconvert.

Planet Earth it is not!

Disaster
Krzysztof Kowalski | Lodz, Poland | 07/19/2009

"I had a grat expectations abut this title... But... The video is definitely not HD - it's blurry and SD (upconverted).



The "plot" is quite boring, nothing special and breath-taking. This movie has nothing in common with "Planet Earth" or "Earth". Waste of time and money.

Sounds great but was not
John N. Marzich | arroyo grande, ca United States | 12/06/2009

"Thought this would be up to par with National Geographic but was real low end. First the video quality was real bad for 1080P.



I would swear I saw interpolated(not true 1080p)many scenes all through, grainy etc. Once in while some was good. Then the video scenes> Clouds? Who wants to waste time with shots of clouds? To me this was a poor way to make a product and say blu-ray ready...

You can find better elseware.......
