Wild China, You Make My Heart Sing! September 25, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This Blu ray disc is one hundred percent better than China Revealed. So inspirational in revealing the true essence of the Chinese culture, which I greatly admire to a point that it makes me want to go to China to experience it myself. One must have the greatest respect for the oldest civilization in this modern world. Japan and Korea should both recognize the mother of their culture. A must have in a Blu ray collection!

Great view of "off the beaten track" China September 19, 2008
I loved this 2-disk Blu-ray DVD. The camera work is excellent, and the insight into the lives of rural, working families and their environment in China was very thought provoking. A country of contrasts - the great way they pulled off the recent Olympics versus how the people in the rural countryside live (very much day-to-day subsistence living.

And the photography was typical high-end BBC work - must have taken them hundreds of hours of photography.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in life beyond Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzen and Hong Kong.

Region 1 Blu-Ray plays on PS3 in Australia September 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

For all those Aussie customers, I just received my "Wild China" blu-ray DVD from Amazon & the good news is it plays fine in an Australian purchased PS3. This is the first region 1 disc I've tried so not sure if the same situation will apply to all region 1 discs. If you liked Planet Earth, you'll love "Wild China"

Amazing photography - but is this Hi Def??? September 8, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have been waiting for this title with excitement. The movie, the scenes and the edit is up to the highest standards, I wonder why does it look out of focus or flat compared to Planet Earth? Almost not better than a good DVD, which was disappointing to realize. I have been anticipated crisp hi def - this title lacks that. Therefore the 3 stars.
With sharp focusing it would have been 5 stars, no doubt. I don't think it is the 1080i or p - its plain bad photography work, I would guess. The subtitles stick out from the blurry picture and also the animations in the chapter beginnings are fine and sharp. So its not encoding.
The cameramen either used some low end HD cams or they were not on the top of their job. Some scenes look nice - but most of them not. What a waste of time on a great subject, then the end result is...hmm... compromised, to be modest.
I wonder how Ganges will look like.

Too much on China, not enough about wildlife September 3, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful

I know the title says "Wild China", but even so I thought it focused a bit too much on China's development and people rather than the animals. Some animals, like the Red Panda, received only short shots with little in-depth discussion on their biology or lives. The series also discusses prehistoric Chinese and the problems of development. Overall, I didn't find the narration really educated me on the status of the environment in China.

If you are interested in the relationship between China and its environment, this series has some great images. However, if you are interested in wildlife in China, this series may prove too tangential.
