Like being there only I can put it on anytime
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I love the redwoods in California. They are mystical and breathtaking. This blu-ray gets me the closest I can get to the real thing. The high definition brings me present with the clarity that I feel when I’m in the woods themselves.
My living room gets transformed when I put it on. The music is wonderful but I can turn it off too and just immerse myself in the beauty and quiet of the forest. Totally calming and serene – I get to just be in it and it changes my whole day.
This series isn’t meant to educate – it’s for ‘experiencing’ the majesty of places that calm us, inspire us and bring us joy. It’s a virtual experience that’s exquisite.
Virtual vacation with an optional music track!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love watching movies like this in high def but I usually find the accompanying soundtracks to be shallow and tedious at best. Thankfully this disc has the option to watch the movie with the music or just the nature sounds! Perfect! I have not watched it with the music on (which I might, just to see what it is like) but I think if you are really into New Age soundscapes you might like it… But if not you can opt out of the music and let your mind wander to the sounds of birds and rain.
Of course, if you are expecting a travelogue or informative documentary with this title you will be disappointed. This is just video and audio of the ambient environment of the redwood forest (with music if you want.) There is no dialogue or text, just the scenery. You can think of it as a cheap and easy virtual vacation. I wouldn’t say videos like these are intended for “party” watching, but for individual exploration or relaxation you can’t beat it unless you get off the couch and actually go to the forest!
WRAP NATURE AROUND YOUR SENSES
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
You owe it yourself to wrap your senses with this beautiful BluRay edition of California Redwoods. Truly a visually gluttony for the eyes and message of the ears.
As you watch the beautiful images fade, one in to the other, accompanied by the often reverential music treatment, one begins to understand why many call these
oldest living things a Cathedral to God. It is awe inspiring to stand in the presence of trees that were alive when Jesus and other historical figures walked the earth. If you have never visited this area, you can now with the aid of this beautifully crafted experience. I don’t think you will be disappointed. Some may not prefer the music but the natural sounds envelop you as the 5.1 surround sucks you right into the visual feast. I play this disc a lot in my home theater. I think my plasma TV enjoys displaying the beautiful artful video photography. I recommend you do your High Definition TV a favor and get this experience for yourself. Enjoy a walk through the paths that wind among these sequoia gentle giants. You will smell the redwood forest, you will feel the moisture of the rain as it falls upon the leaves and ponds of water. As you gaze upon the shafts of sunlight filtered by three thousand year old growth you will feel small. It might even make you look to the heavens and wonder.
looks faded out
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
sorry had to ogive 3 stars because most of the scenes looked faded out in spite of high definition. i expected lush green settings with vivid colors, but except for a few shots most of scenes were bland.
their other bluray “fall in new england” is 1000 times better looking for the same price.
I like the absence of narrators and historical photos. It’s all sceneries and music.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Some of the still scenes last too long. There are too many close-ups such as a stone in a streams or a cluster of pine leaves.
