IMAX: HUMPBACK WHALES ( BLU-RAY ) SEALED

Description: HUMPBACK WHALES Sypnosis An in-depth look at the lives of humpback whales and the challenges they face to avoid extinction. Humpback Whales is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Shout! Factory with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. As should be expected given the 70mm source elements of this documentary, Humpback Whales offer superior detail levels, and in fact some of the underwater footage is really impressive in this regard, with a level of clarity that almost defies the fact that these sequences are underwater. There's still a bit of variable sharpness at various times, and some of the quick views of humpbacks jumping above the water line look just slightly coarser than the bulk of the presentation. Colors are splendidly suffused and saturated, but there's simply no getting away from the fact that this is by and large a "blue" looking documentary.Humpback Whales features a great sounding Dolby Atmos track, one which provides a rather surprising amount of surround activity given the fact that a lot of the film takes place underwater and much of it is a narrated presentation. The documentary's enjoyable score provides a glut of spill through the side and rear channels, and an opening scene that ventures into outer space for a moment (don't ask me) features some wonderful panning effects as various planets zing by the camera. The gurgle of underwater bubbles and/or those almost indescribable whale vocalizations are often quite redolent as well, and offer at least some surround activity. McGregor's narration is anchored front and center, and is just very occasionally slightly buried by the music. Product Details
