Hawaii or Not

"I have a huge collection of Hawaiian videos, and having recently purchased a Blu-ray machine, I was really looking forward to this disk. Visually it is outstanding. Hawaii, having some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, is an ideal location for HD.
So why didn't I give this disk five stars? Unfortunately, like many mainland productions, this disk does not use Hawaiian music. Instead it uses music that is one notch up from elevator music. As I watch this disk in the future, I'll either only listen to the nature track, or I'll put on the Hawaiian music feed from Dish Network.
Never-the-less, for those who love Hawaii's beauty, or for those who have yet to experience it, I highly recommend this disk, which means I recommend it for everyone."
Nice!

"If you have a nice HD system then this will really show it off. It can be played with music or just the natural sounds, or both."
Wonderful!

"We visited Oahu and Maui back in '94. This is a great reminder of what that wonderful island was like. You can virtually feel the small waves wash over your feet. We frequently runs this blu-ray on our 42" while reading or just talking and relaxing.
Just one slight snag, it's 1080i - not 1080p."
Could have been much better

"The pictures are beautiful and selection of material was great but could have been better by making some changes. Some scenes were too long. I thing some Hawaiian music would have been for fitting to the material. Also it would have been nice to know what I was looking at, either short narration or captions that the person can turn on or off. When someone visits Hawaii they may like to go to that location and look at it for their self."
