Customer Reviews (Average 4.5 from 32) : holiday of a lifetime Rating:5 I bought this on returning from a fabulous holiday in the Galapagos and this DVD filled in the gaps in what I had learned plus also giving me a real souvenir of my trip. Excellent photography and interesting commentary. Stunning photography of a wonderful place Rating:4 I find nature documentaries to be, by far, the best use of high-definition video. Galapagos is no exception, there's plenty of high-definition footage of one of the most remarkable places on the planet. The series is curiously written - almost as if it struggles to find a way to cover everything that's so amazing about the Galapagos archipelago. The result is a reasonable amount of overlap which would probably not have been too noticeable if you watched it as a scheduled broadcast over several weeks but if you're watching the episodes in a much shorter time-span, the repetition of photography and, to a lesser extent, the narrative is a bit obvious. Tilda Swinton's voice is a little under-whelming at times, but she delivers the narrative with good pace and a degree of calmness. All in all, a great series with fantastic filming and stunning images - a wonderful advert for the tourism industry of Galapagos and a great way to almost experience the wonder of the place without going there and doing any more damage to the fragile ecosystem there. Galapagos Rating:5 Having seen some of this on TV I am delighted to get the whole series. Wonderfully filmed in amazing detail it is a must for all nature lovers with really rare footage of many unusual species that inhabit these isolated islands. The Beeb do it best! Rating:5 Saw this on Isabella II whilst exploring The Galapagos ... and if their Guides pick it to educate their guests, well, who knows better? Good photography Rating:2 Not sure what I was expecting from the narration and the educational value of this DVD but the filmography is awesome when combined with the natural wonders on these islands. At least worth leaving on the TV in the background with the volume down just to fill your home with life! |
