Customer reviews of Timeless... A National Parks Odyssey (IMAX)

Customer Rating: 
Summary: David Fortney Improves with time
Comment: I have other David Forney DVDs (i.e Earth Scapes), but they don't compare with the image reproduction quality of this DVD (70mm IMAX original, no doubt has a lot to do with the mastering quality). I have been a Patrick O'Hearn fan since the early 1990s, so this fusion is very good. I teach Digital Photography here in Lake Tahoe and the techniques David uses to capture his time laps images is just captivating to my eye. When I am stressed, I will reach for this DVD to help refocus my mind (sound quality also is very good). I hope David advances to Blu-Ray to keep improving image quality and that he continues to use New Age musicians to set the mood.

Summary: BUY THE OTHER IMAX DVD
Comment: There is a better version of this same IMAX presentation entitled North America's National Parks. It is the SAME movie only it is in widescreen format and may have other enhancements. I'll give this version a 5-star too - but it's really the other movie you want. Again, same picture, but released in 2008 with better options. As for the movie itself, it's very good. Visually stunning. The time-lapsed scenes are amazing. It really is a visual treat and will show off the picture quality of your home theater system. The commentary is very good and formative, but I wish we could have heard more sounds of nature. Basically, it's some guy talking over a soundtrack of soothing music - piano, guiter, etc.. It's all very nice and mellow, but I wish I could have heard some of the sounds to go along with the amazing images. For example, a huge waterfall cascades down, and it would be nice to hear water crashing to the ground. Instead, all you hear is music. What about the "music" of nature? But it is an IMAX film from 2002, so consider that audiences would probably have been upset if there was no commentary... just nature sounds. Add this to your collection and PLEASE support The Nature Conservatory and The National Arbor Day Foundation.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Truly relaxing nature scenes with great cinematography. Most programs trying this do not come close. Highly recommended. A great follow up to
the genre started by Natural States and True North, but done with up to date filming techniques.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Too fast-paced for relaxation
Comment: I agree with other reviewers that the images and music are gorgeous. The landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful. Yet I want other buyers to realize what I didn't: many of the scenes are filmed with time-lapse photography. In other words, the clouds and shadows move across the landscape in accelerated motion. Some viewers will like this pace and won't mind that the naturally inspiring landscape has been altered. But for me, this created a sense of hurry and hectic rushing through time instead of the simplicity and calm of a real-time cinescape. Some of the chapters are presented at normal speed. These are the ones I find most enjoyable, and I only wish the talents who created this had let the natural beauty and their skills stand alone. Many will enjoy this film as it is. I had expected a simpler version of nature.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Never fails to invoke kinship with nature
Comment: It stands as a persistent source of strength to all of us who seek the companionship of nature around us. Without hesitation I can say I have found it uplifting and a marvellous source to reminisce visits to National Parks presented.
