Dissapointment, thy name is IMAX by W. Paul W. (Canyon TX, USA)

Once again, an IMAX documentary where the only thing that seems to matter are pretty pictures. While the image quality is superb it's the only real redeeming feature. There's no real exploration of the ecology of the Outback, there isn't much discussion of the wildlife (yay, kangaroos, yay perenties). What discussion there is is basic, repetitive and about on par with what you'd get in a 3rd or 4th grade science class. It's amazingly pretty, but there's nothing else there. It's like a screen saver for your TV basically. The subtitles were also horrible; words were misspelled, just flat out missing, sometimes out of sync with the audio... I use subtitles because my hearing is so/so, and that was a real pain for me.

I give this one three and a half stars. Great I-Max photography as usual, however maybe just not enough time to cover more of Australia, being such a vast land. Seemed to be focused on just a few points. But, great family show. Glad to have it in the collection.

Cover mislead me, not for 2009 HDTVs by D. E. Hill (Centennial, CO United States)

The cover says this is a 75 minute DVD. Well, the program is only the usual IMAX 40+ minute version. Also, this says "large format widescreen" and "16x9 widescreen" format." It would have been better quality if they stuck with the original IMAX dimensions, as this low-detail letterbox is not anamorphic and has relatively low quality by today's standards (it has been for some years now!). The program itself is OK to good in places but not exceptional. Some years ago (right after VHS), this would have been acceptable. Production standards have increased substantially (see BBC productions like Planet Earth and Galapagos, for example).

Australia: Land Beyond Time by ROBERT OBRIEN (Fort Collins, Colorado)

As an ex-patriate Australian living in the USA, it made me very homesick. Beautifully composed, with a wonderful dialogue (though done by an Englishman for international appeal, I think) and technically correct, it should be part of all Elementary Schools' video library!
