baraka (docu)
beatiful and unforgettable.
9/10 |
You finally watched Baraka :) I'm glad you like it. Samsara next ;) Samsara has amazing scenes as well, yet I give the edge to Baraka having watched both numerous times.
I just started watching Blue planet: seas of life again. The 2001 BBC documentary that put nature documentaries back on the map. I watched it at a friends house on dvd back then, it looked amazing at the time. The blu-ray pretty much looks the same and standards have changed a lot. (as well as tv sizes)
"The main feature has been upconverted from standard definition source material." Tiny print. Back cover, lower right side. ... the resulting 1080p/AVC-encoded presentation exhibits less compression artifacting than its DVD counterpart ... There's still plenty of macroblocking, banding, edge halos, prevailing aliasing, crush, heavy noise, chunky grain, pulldown-esque anomalies and other unsightly eyesores on display, to say nothing of the image's unwavering softness, it's just all inherent to the source.
Sound fares a bit better, lossless 5.1, but I didn't remember the silly sound effects from back then.
I was forewarned and waited for the price to go down (it's actually less than the dvd now), yet it's still a bit of a shock. Otherwise it's great to watch again, the shots themselves are unbelievable. Filled the 1 glaring void in my blu-ray BBC nature doc collection.

it was fantastic and something I always wanted imagined somewhere in the back of my mind. I will watch samsara next probably tommorow and what about koyaanisqatsi there are a few qatsi docus any good ?
I have the feeling I asked you this question before
