Customer Reviews

Amazing cinematography and narration!
The first true nature documentary to be released on HD formats and, boy, is it excellent!

This is a 90-minute documentary on a pride of lions and their buffalo prey trapped on an island in the Okavango delta. There is an extrememly informative narrative throughout the whole program with some fascinating moments.

The picture is truly amazing in HD. You can see every hair on the lion's mane, every fly buzzing around a buffalo, and every blade of grass concealing the hunters. Incredible.

The sound is an achievement, too. You've got to have surround sound for this. The bellows of the lions, the grunts of the buffalo, and the laughs of the hyenas surround you and immerse you in Africa completely!

And the narration by Jeremy Irons is worth the price alone.

If you have a Blu-ray player, this is a must-buy! I absolutely loved it!

Fantastic
Having both the SD DVD and the HD(Blu-ray) DVD versions, I can say without a doubt that the detail in HD is fantastic with the clouds of flies that surround the buffalos being clearly obvious. The detail of the Lions is such that you feel they are in the room with you. The program is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your chair for the whole 90min duration. Who will win? as the tables are turned time and time again, the buffalos or the lions? Expertly filmed and narrated. In 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, so the sound is also fantastic.
As it is Region Free, this BD DVD can be enjoyed worldwide.
A must for wildlife fans.
The HD(Blu-ray) format is really suited to wildlife/nature programs, and hopefully a lot more wildlife programs in this format will be available soon.
