Another impressive BBC documentary arrives on DVD with Antarctica
Dreaming - Wildlife On Ice which comes from the producers of Coral Sea
Dreaming and this Blu-ray revolves around the wondrous creatures of this icy
wasteland.
Although documentaries on Antarctica are a dime a dozen,
there are a few standout moments in this well produced film which showcases
the animals that live there and also the harsh landscape.
From King
Penguins to Elephant Seals, what makes Antarctica Dreaming - Wildlife
On Ice so engaging is the high definition video quality that looks
stunning on our Panasonic LCD. The cinematography is perfect and there
are some great close-ups of these amazing creatures.
Although
the quality is a little lacking compared to Planet Earth, the image quality
is still nothing be quaffed at. The sound quality is Dolby Digital 5.1
and although the music is quite ambient, it's hard to make the sound
standout but everything is crisp and flawless in this department.
At the
end of the day, Antarctica Dreaming - Wildlife on Ice is an
inspirational documentary on Blu-ray that really makes you appreciate
the wonders of this planet and how diverse the animals are on this
planet, especially how resiliant to the climate.
If in
doubt, rent it but for those looking for a well made wildlife documentary
on Antarctica, than this is one of the better ones.
