4 out of 5 stars G'day!   May 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Stunning pictue quality on Blu-Ray. It was simply amazing using my Panasonic High Definition projector, blown up to 106" diagonal. However, like many otherwise fine documentaries (ie Plant Earth), it sometimes lingers far too long on one subject. Personally, I can only handle so much sheep shearing or aboriginal dancing. "Keep the action moving" should be the rule in these types of documentaries.


5 out of 5 stars Discovery Atlas: Australia revealed   April 28, 2008
This is a true work of cinematic art. I saw my own country in a new light. Fabulous. Made me home sick for the simple life. If your planning a trip to Australia any time soon........this is a must see. As we aussie's say....G'DAY MATE. and welcome home.


1 out of 5 stars Horrible Narrator   March 23, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Guys, dont waste your time with this video. I have China, Brasil and Italy Discovery Channel and BY FAR...this is the worst one (I highly recommend the others!)

Basically you can't hear the narrator. Crowe's voice is TOO low and its impossible to listen too. My girlfriend asked to turn on the "subtitle" function because it was sooo bad.....we both fell asleep within 10 mins. (Its doesnt support subtitle features)

Again, don't purchase this series (Australia). HORRIBLE AUDIO!








5 out of 5 stars Amazing. Simply Amazing.   December 28, 2007
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

It is a shame that there are people who don't bother to READ what these documentaries are about BEFORE they buy them and are disappointed.

The oft-stated aim of Discovery Atlas is not a history lesson ... it is a unique look at countries through the eyes and personal stories of a select group of individuals.

What better ways to learn the true feelings and emotions than by this manner.

Exquisitely shot, wonderfully narrated, these videos provide a unique look into each of these nations that one would not otherwise EVER be party to.



3 out of 5 stars Good images boring story   October 22, 2007

I bought the Italy, China and Ausatralia ATLAS from discovery. This one is kind of boring. I think the stories told are very weak. Anyway it shows good images in HD. The other two are much better.
