A Grand Tribute to the Golden Age
I think this is the best documentary on Saudi Arabia I have seen. The 3-D is fantastic and the history and culture of this amazing part of the world is offered without any politics thrown in. Very refreshing, even for a student of world culture, with a native guide who has put a great amount of effort in. My father worked there for several years and had told me of the beauty he had seen, and this great DVD does do it justice. I would recommend it for the whole family.

Another good 3D blue ray from Imax to collect
Another good 3D blue ray from Imax to collect. Good buy at the present sale price. Go a get one yourself. You won't regret. The PQ is clear, sharp and of good depth. The scenes are outstanding and hard to be there personally. What else do you expect more. Get it before it sold out at present sale price.

The 3D is actually very nice
Ok, lets start by getting something straight for new 3D viewers. 3D imagery is not all about popping out of your screen, but forming a depth field that goes multiple layers inward as well as sometimes appearing to pop out of your screen. The 3D advertisers stress the "pop out" effect to sell the concept so many think 3D is about doing this. This film does have quite a few scenes that is low in depth, but it IS RICH in many scenes that give great depth to the scene. This film does lack in much that actually pop's out of your screen, but the documentary maker wasn't looking to make that type of film. He did a wonderful job giving information and presenting it in a beautiful 3D environment. It is just not the ACTION 3D video that some people have come to expect from Hollywood.

Presentation of the movie was very nice; the film shows the two outstanding aspect of Arabia (at least from the point of view of someone who knows little), the traditional one, well known from many films, and the fantastic and modern buildings typical of an up-to-date society in the world of active-today business. Narration is fair and the 3-D effects are very good. The close-up of a head camel getting near to the screen will be unforgettable. Narration and images are accompanied by good selected music.

Good Stuff
This is a great buy, just watched it on home theater (200 inches screen) & I must say the visuals & sound quality were exceptional. The content was also profound, contained plenty of little-known facts about the area & it's people. The Arabic music & singing in the background were also very haunting. The only drawback was that the DVD finished too soon

Great 3D Blu-Ray.
Great 3D Blu-Ray.Nice eye candy for the price. Shortly before I took delivery of my new LG 3D TV from Amazon, I bought a bunch of these short themed DVDs. The IMAX productions are well presented and really pop.

Enjoyable watch
I bought this as I was watching repeats of storm chasers and wanted to see the footage captured on the “imax” camera mounted in the TIV.So to be clear the UHD isn’t HDR and no reference to imax anywhere. There was no change in aspect ratio when the footage gets cut to the large mounted camera so I’m thinking either it wasn’t imax or the frame was cropped to the same aspect ratio as all the other footage.The disk is region free so will play in regions A,B,C so will play all parts of the world.The image was grainy so I do believe it was shot on film, the picture was clear, sound very good it was a very enjoy watch. Just not long enough.For all the reviews saying it would not play, I put this down to user error. People saying this dvd won’t play and Blu-ray won’t play, this is a 4K UHD BLU-RAY you need a 4K UHD blu-ray player, a 4K tv and 2.0 hdmi cable.The only reason for 4 stars is it’s not long enough.

Amazing viewing experience
Amazing! The 3 films in this dvd are magnificently filmed with fantastic sound which shows off (and justifies) the high cost tv package (tv + blu ray + cinema sound system).The 3 films are 40 minutes documentary type films being 1: Grand Canyon Adventure mainly about the Colorado river. 2: Hidden Universe. 3: Tornado Alley. The camera work in each film is superb and puts the viewer right in the middle of the action. In the first, one of the cameras are fitted to a boat going over the rapids on the river and the viewing experience has to be seen. In the second, the views of the universe and galaxies are second to none. I would suggest they have been taken from the Hubble telescope but that is just my opinion. In the third, Tornado Alley the film makers let the "stormchasers" tell their own story. In addition, the cameras are allowed on board their weird vehicles and they actually film the start (birth) of a tornado and finally experience being inside one. Overall I cannot put into words the superb sound and vision contained within this dvd and I highly recommend it. P.S. Be aware; this dvd will only play on a high end UHD blu ray player (I have a Panasonic DMP- UB900EBK blu ray player)

Imax: Arabia 3D
Wirklich wunderschöne Aufnahmen von einer für Gewöhnlichsterbliche nicht zugänglichen Welt.Der Querschnitt durch diverse Bereiche dieser verschlossenen Welt überzeugt.Unverkennbar steht da 'ein Sponsor' dahinter, welcher sein Reich und seine Weltanschauung in die Welt hinaus tragen will.
