HD DVD review: HDScape: Antarctica Dreaming/Visions of the Sea

Of the two titles, Antarctica Dreaming is the most substantial, operating as a fully-fledged 83-minute documentary, whereas Visions of the Sea is essentially a series of undeniably visually arresting but ultimately unconnected images, which rapidly outstays its welcome if you attempt to engage with it for its full 60-minute duration. For those who find the subject matter interesting, these discs are likely to hold some appeal, but those considering buying them simply to act as demo material are advised that there are many better-looking titles on offer.

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it. I’ve taken a look at two nature documentary titles in the HDScape line, Antarctica Dreaming and Visions of the Sea, presented on two HD DVD/DVD combo discs.
