5 out of 5 stars My favorite BBC Blue Ray   September 3, 2010
bruinjoe (Irvine, CA)
I own BBC's Planet Earth, Life, Nature's Most Amazing Events, and Wild Pacific. All of them are enjoyable. Life used some footage from the other series. Wild Pacific is my favorite out of the BBC Blue Ray discs that I own. The video and sound are just fabulous. If you love beautiful natural scenes and are curious about the South Pacific then this disc will appeal to you. My only regret is that the series is not as long as Planet Earth. They could have covered Samoa, Tahiti, Fiji, and the other islands in more detail.

If you like nature doc this will be a pleasure for you to watch, giving the sense of the huge mass of the pacific and showing the unikness of its wild life. Amazing new under water filming technics witch as a surfer blew my mind. Love it and will watch it again and again great collection items.


5 out of 5 stars WORTH - EVERY - PENNY.   May 24, 2010

I am a pretty picky movie watcher - just ask my family. Whatever storytelling elements might possibly be improved here (I did't really notice) are completely overwhelmed by the jaw-dropping hi-def videography. I watched this with Panasonic Blu-ray player and my Optoma 720p projector with 5.1 surround sound and was blown away. Some of the stuff they show in this program defies imagination as to how they managed to capture it. BBC is the best in this genre because they not only educate, they create a visual work of art that is mesmerizing in its aesthetic beauty. The shots of huge curling waves from under the surface was absolutely stunning. The water is so crystal clear, the video resolution so fine, and the slow motion so perfect that you can see every little vortex, every bubble, creating images you have never, ever seen before. Luckily the standard BBC Diaries at the end of each episode show you how they created some of these shots, and that makes everything that more compelling. I thought I would miss David Attenborough's narration, but the other Brit featured here does a fine job. The script combines perfectly with the imagery to convey just how vast the Pacific is, and how incredible it is that life has flourished so well in what the video so aptly describes as a 'desert of water'. I would gladly pay twice the price for this gem of a video.


5 out of 5 stars BBC raises it's own standard   April 16, 2010

This review is for most everyone else out there. I'm NOT a videofile so sifting through the barely discernable minutia of digital high def technical mertis and / or pitfalls is not my forte. The disc looked great on my plasma from start to finish, even the underwater footage. And Speaking of footage, there were many UNMATCHED camera shots here, even comapred to BBC's magnum opus, Planet Earth. I found the narration fine. As far as editing, the chapter selection needed some re-organization but as far as complaining about how long shots were held on someone's personal wish list? come on. Let's face it, after Planet Earth, it's hard for any nature program not to seem redundant, yet you don't feel that here. The human element as described clearly leaves the viewer with a new appreciation in some areas and a return to reality in others. So no - it's not all about critters, it's a better over view on ALL the elements influencing this previously poorly understood area of the planet.

Beautiful and exquisite filming, interesting facts - the slow motion high definition clips of the waves is mesmerizing. A great blu-ray dvd. If you dream about that tropical south seas island but can't get there as often as you would like - this does the trick.
