Safari [DVD]

I bought a 3D television from Amazon in June this year & I bought this blue-ray 3D disc as a trial. The narrator,Hunter Ellis presents a comprehensive view of a host of animals, including the "BIG 5" Lion, Leopard,Elephant, Buffalo & Rhino,from 3 different nations across the African sub-continent,Kenya,Uganda,& Tanzania.The journey begins by Jeep & meeting the local people to pick up supplies at a local market then goes cross country to meet the animals Giraffe are 1st on the list followed closely by Warthogs & onto Leopards the host then takes you onto a Mother Cheetah with 6 cubs hunting Thompson Gazelle after leaving the Cheetahs to eat in peace they come across a family of Elephants then go on to Lions, Vultures, Buffalo, Rhino, & Hyena & meets the Masai & view the Wildebeest & Zebra herds on their migration across the Mara including the deadly river crossing.Then we see Chimps & Monkeys later he takes you onto the water on a boat where you meet Hippo & Crocodiles towards the end of the story he meets a family of Gorillas including a huge Silverback later on he takes you to meet a huge flock of African Flamingos & takes to the air in a hot air balloon to get a closer look at Mount Kilimanjaro.This production has life & death dramas unfolding before your very eyes with spectacular & breathtaking views of the 3 dimensional landscapes & wildlife the next best thing to actually going to Africa & watching the Animals in real life.

A very good 90 min REGION B/2 3D / BLU-RAY that is both interesting and informative and well presented by the down to earth Hunter Ellis. I bought this documentary for the Blu-ray and not the 3D so I am unable to comment on the latter. The onscreen menu allows a choice of 2D or 3D and a eight scene selection if desired.Hunter Ellis travels through Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania where he meets some Maasai people to investigate their way of life and travels to an elephant orphanage to interview staff who help these gentle giants. On safari some of the wildlife featured include crocs, apes, zebras, lions, water buffalo, hippos, vultures, warthogs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, flamingoes, monkeys, mountain gorillas, wildebeest, cheetahs and hyena.I highly recommend this DVD for family viewing especially children due to the variety of wildlife and the close up camera work that is very good.

We were on safari in Kenya earlier this year and we can relate to so much that is shown in this DVD. The quality of the photography is of course outstanding, both in respect of wild life and scenery. Great encounters too with wonderful people. The commentary is informative and enthusiastic. Something to treasure alongside our own photos as a reminder of a wonderful experience.

As a 3d experience it was fine and quite enjoyable.As a documentary it was shockingly bad. Hunter Ellis was dreadful and his skills were laughable. His commentary was really poor and there was no sensitivity whatsoever for his environment;so much so that I became quite angry whilst being bored silly by it. The muzak was 100% inappropriate. irrelevant and awful.BUT...........the 3d experience wasn't bad and I will watch it again. I'll turn off the volume and provide my own background though.

A really breathtaking way to view a safari documentary. This really is one made for 3D, very well thought out and filmed to really enhance the viewing. I've been on safari and it is the best way currently to share my experience, with this documentary you really get a sense of the landscape and the awsomness and majesty of nature. Really enjoyed it.

I've had this film a while but i decided to watch it the other night,i thought it was very good the 3d was great nothing jumping out but good depth.The animals were great the colour was excellent and the commentary with hunter ellis kept you informed about the animals overall an enjoyable film.

Purchased this only to be dissapointed that I already own it under the title -Safri Africa 3D.The cover is differant and title changed slightly to catch the consumer.I thought it was a second edition and was very disapointed,shame on the ones responsible.I will say fantastic viewing but dont be caught as I was.

U feel like you could just reach out and touch the animals.
