[.ca] Dolphins (IMAX Large Format - Windows Media High Definition)

From Amazon.com:
Believe it or not, an IMAX film can make the transition to video perfectly well. It might not be three stories tall, but Dolphins is still a lovely, larger-than-life exploration of these strangely intelligent creatures. Visit the Bahamas, Argentina, and beyond to see different varieties (like the graceful duskies) play and hunt. Pierce Brosnan's narration and Sting's music fill the water with sound and add counterpoint to the dolphin's shrill cries; the film is an overwhelming experience even in the living room. Two short features follow the main attraction: see behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Dolphins as the enormous IMAX camera follows the sleek, gorgeous beasts, and learn some hard facts about marine science including how dolphins fit into their complex environment and why their numbers are at risk. Few nature films bear repeat viewing as well as this one--new details leap out at the audience each time. --Rob Lightner

Not a good seller to buy from:
This person advertised a video on the amazon.ca website and then I ordered it from him. It was charged to my visa with the shipping and then two days later I find out that he doesn't have it in stock. I was then only reimbursed for my cost of the cd and not the shipping charges. Buyers Beware!

Melodic, entertaining, and fun.:
I am a huge fan of IMAX films in general and this is one of the best. The soundtrack (Sting) is awesome and Mr. Brosnan does a great job narrating. It is inspiring to see these intelligent creatures as they interact with humans and you quickly become unsure of who is the scientist and who is the subject. Their intelligence combined with the perpetual smile make the dolphins seem more like distant cousins than a different species. My 6 and 2 year old love this movie as well and the outreach value of science is made self evident. We may truly communicate with other creatures in the universe and won't it be amazing if we find them on our own planet?

Dolphins is a treasure!:
Make sure you watch the making of Dolphins as well. If your children are looking for another fun video -- check out Captain Jon Explores the Ocean (also available from Amazon)!

Does it really matter if it's high resolution picture yadda?:
Like virtually all IMAX movies; a bloody bore and fit for audiences who simply love to go home and throw something on their big wide screen tv that they don't have to think about, by gosh by golly!

A Masterpiece:
Dolphins Is a wonderful film with a wonderful musical score provided by Sting and Steve Wood. We purchased the DVD, and the soundtrack CD - and it is regularly in our CD player. Our kids love it !!! The cinematography is awesome. This film will put you in a good mood on a cold, winter day with it's visuals and island flavored music. You'll also learn so much about these most incredible creatures. I would love to see a sequel to this great documentary. I think it was actually nominated for an Academy Award. Do yourself a favor, buy the DVD and the soundtrack CD !!!
