This DVD captured the attention of our 5 & 7 year old girls and held it all the way through! My husband and I loved the sights and the music. It is an overall wonderfully relaxing documentary of some of the prettiest coral reefs. I highly recommend it.

It's a great to have HD content even before the HD-DVD or Blue Ray discs start shipping. Picture and sound quality are great. I don't see any difference betwen the 720p and 1080p resolutions although my projector is only 720p.

Sure, they capture some great footage, but most of it is above the surface of the water. BBC's Blue Planet series does a much better job below the surface and explains more about the interaction of life on the reefs.
This work spends most of its time preaching (to the choir as it were, since those who would choose to watch it are likely stewards of one form or another) about the various factors that have an effect on the underwater. Very over-dramatic and tends to "dumb it down" for their perceived audience. Very dissapointing.

this is a nice movie, but the HD content is very difficult to retrieve. Seems to be very system dependent if it actually works or not.

I wish I had read a more critical review before purchasing this DVD, so here's mine:
Beautiful photography and wish I'd seen it in an IMAX theatre. As this is supposed to be a film about CORAL REEFS, however, you'd expect that alot of it would take place UNDERWATER..... It doesn't. .... Too much coverage of "human drama", with an islander's disappointment in the dying reef near his island, one of the diver's brush with the bends (but you know it will all be wrapped-up in a happy ending, right?), and photographers flying and boating around tropical islands. Personally, I had been looking for more photography and more real information on coral reefs --fascinating beautiful creatures with plenty of interesting drama on their own.
Soundtrack features great music, but the editing of which makes viewing the film quite annoying. You're listening carefully to Liam's relaxing voice and all-too-brief interesting commentary on the subject matter and then BOOM!, your hit with CSN at a volume that has you scrambling for the remote to turn it down three notches.
Overall, its a film that wants to be everything for all interests. Sure ! ...In 45 minutes?
