Amazon.com: This spectacular IMAX documentary has been meticulously transferred to provide one of the most stunning DVDs available, with image quality so vivid that it seems almost three-dimensional. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the images themselves are amazing, consisting of some of the finest nature cinematography you're ever likely to see, following a year of seasonal change in the "circle of life" of East Africa's Serengeti plain. Photographed entirely on location in Kenya and Tanzania, the 40-minute film chronicles a natural phenomenon that few humans are privileged to witness in their lifetime: the annual great migration, during which over two million wildebeests, zebras, and antelope travel 500 miles across the plain to ensure their survival. It's an awesome display of natural wonders, and of course there's danger as well as beauty, with lions, crocodiles, and cheetahs among the predators of migrating wildlife. The images range from wondrous to horrifying to hilarious, forming a portrait of life and death that remains powerful even after repeated viewings. The DVD is truly intended for a global audience, with eight optional audio tracks in English (narrated by James Earl Jones), Bavarian, French, Castilian, Catalan, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin. --Jeff Shannon
A great buy! This is one great DVD and very well narrated by the Darth Vader guy of Star Wars - James Earl Jones. He spoke so clear I didn't opt to use the subtitles. Very well photographed in the IMAX large format film and the sound is very good both in 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS although the latter is a bit louder. I recommend this DVD to all.
Amazing Documentary! I watch many blu-ray disks and documentary, must admit this one was probably the third best documentary in blu-ray beside planet earth and Galapagos. Is kinda short, but boy it has some of the best scene; especially at the end. Will really make your remember that scene 4ever. The video transfer is great, consider 14 years old. Audio is not HD or 5.1 but has so many language. No extra as usual for most documentary. This is must rent probably worth buy since is pretty cheap.
Awesome Africa: The Serengeti (IMAX) [Blu-ray] I know, I know - I'm still enamored of Blu-ray and HDTV and am also fascinated with African wildlife and oceanic wildlife. The video and surround sound were awesome for home video. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys this type of documentary.
Decent but not anything great. It was interesting enough and James Earl did a nice job with the commentary but it falls short of any of the amazing "planet earth" series. I have a 42in LCD TV with a PS3 that plays blue ray and the picture on the planet earth series is top of the line. The Imax DVD, its good but nothing great. It was good documentary, but was probably made for the IMAX theatre not your house TV and it showed a little. I bought the entire Planet earth series but if you dont want to make such an investment just buy the first disc which includes 1 of 3 in the series of 11 documentarys. I was simply blown away by "Pole to Pole" on the 1st disc. Look at it and see for yourself, this is one nature show you will watch over and over...I still cant get over how crazy the picture was.
Go watch the Imax film for the little 12 bucks you're gonna pay for it on this site, but I would put my money on the planet earths series. If you dont have HD or an HD/Blueray DVD player than I wouldnt worry about what I said because the picture difference wont be noticeable and either film will do.
Excellent Great price, too.
The Great Migration is the focal point. Fantastic aerial shots. Narration by James Earl Jones.
