Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Go far beyond even the highest definition with this Academy Award nominee for Best Short Documentary. Originally presented in IMAX Theaters, Alaska Spirit of the Wild is a visual masterpiece.

Amazon.com:
The majestic beauty of Alaska is displayed masterfully in this film, which was originally presented in IMAX theaters and received an Academy Award(r) nomination for Best Documentary in 1998. The landscape of Alaska is shown in magnificent aerial shots, and "white thunder," the spectacular sight when enormous icebergs break off from glaciers, is shown in exquisitely sharp footage. As might be expected, much of the film is devoted to Alaska's abundant wildlife, including moose, bears, seals, wolves, caribou, musk oxen, and whales. The narration, delivered by actor Charlton Heston, provides informative background on the animals, but the star of the film is always the stunning camera work. An underwater shot taken in the midst of dozens of diving seals is particularly memorable, and scenes of humpback whales breaching on the surface are simply spectacular. Bears fight each other over the best fishing spots, and even their prey, the salmon swimming upstream, are featured in an underwater montage showing their life cycle. Animals that actually welcome the Alaskan winter, polar bears, are shown as they search the snowy landscape for prey. And a traditional whale hunt by an Inuit tribe is shown. This film is intelligently produced, and the astounding quality of the photography makes it a true treat for the eyes. --Robert J. McNamara

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Small Length, Large bucks
Tis is a short blu-ray movie that is somewhat interesting. Not much for the amount that blu-rays cost, however.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice Intro to Alaska
Alaska: Spirit of the Wild, narrated by Charleton Heston, is an interesting overview of the Alaskian wilderness. Filmed originally for IMAX, the documentary presents a brief introduction to Alaska with it's breathtaking scenery via IMAX cinematogrophy and complimentary musical score. Great entertainment for the entire family!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Alaska
Alaska: Spirit of the Wild (IMAX) [Blu-ray]

This is an excellent nature video and is has a very good images in blue ray.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - WAY TOO SHORT...
Why on earth - espicially with Blue Ray - do these specials fail to go longer than 60 mins? I think this one struggles to make 40. Wait until it's reduced before getting it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent decision maker material
If you are trying to give yourself a reason to visit Alaska, this dvd will do that trick.
