Hidden Kingdoms - July 8, 2014

[Member-38928]

Sorry if anything is out of line here guys, I very rarely start threads over here but I happen to come across Kenneth Brown's review of Hidden Kingdoms the other day and after reading it I was sold so I found a copy on eBay for a good price and I get to watch it for the first time in a few days, I am very much looking forward to it!

The fact that the BBC NHU filmmakers are as transparent about their approach as they are, and the fact that it would be near impossible to achieve such stunning sequences any other way makes it all the more forgivable. Those who aren't concerned with such things, though, will be free to enjoy the series at face value, and enjoy it they will. Children will be particularly hypnotized by the animals and their journeys, making this a family-friendly documentary worth owning. Fortunately, the Blu-ray release is as good as the series, with excellent video, solid audio and a decent selection of revealing special features.

<< Thanks Kenneth!
