This remarkable (short) IMAX movie shows Alaska at all it`s glory - a land still mostly untouched by the hands of mankind.
The video transfer is very good. The colors are rich and well saturated and no compression signs can be spotted. Several scenes will leave you gasping for air - superb!!!
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very good. There`s some usage of the surrounds but nothing too overwhelming. 7 additional DD 5.1 soundtracks are also available: German, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, French, Japanese and an isolated musical score.
The menus are static with sound.
The disc offers no extras at all.
Bottom line - with some great visuals, this is a superb way to experience Alaska. Too bad it`s so short and that the disc offers no extras whatsoever.
