Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk 3d [Blu-ray] [2008] [US Import]

I remember when I first got my 3D TV I was desperate to buy this, it looked amazing, and I couldn't wait to experience the depth and beauty of the Grand Canyon. When I got round to watching it I was a bit disappointed, purely because the repetition of camera shots of the Canyon and the dull narration was giving me a bit of a headache. But now I have re-watched it and my mind has changed!I love all the cinematography, it's stunning, the narration still has a few dulls spots but you don't have to pay attention as the 3D is immersive enough to distract you. Water splashing into my glasses and amazing close ups of the Canyon edges, it was breath takingly shot, plenty of pop out the screen moments, I did like some of the information and people featured in the documentary, it was interesting but towards the end it was overloaded. The best part of this experience is the water rafting as it was so exciting! River At Risk gives you a new dimension and viewpoint of the Canyon, and it will take you on a fun adventure.

First 3D experience on my brand new telly was Monsters VS Aliens and i was left not impressed. One moment i even thought that 3D really is nothing great... but when i saw Grand Canyon in 3D me and my wife were left speechless. This is the way forward in home cinema. Absolutely stunning scenery and 3D is working as good as i was imagining in my wildest dreams. haha, sounds like cheap poetry but all i said is true.Highly recommend to watch this if you have one of those 3D sets at home. Now cant wait for more IMAX movies!!!! Thumbs up!!!

I got this (as I would suspect most people have) becuase there's little else available in 3D at the moment and becuase it's had such glowing reviews. I was disappointed.The picture qaulity is great and theres some good use of 3D but the programe itself its just so dull I can't beleive it actually got released. I could randomly stop my remote anywhere on the documentaries section of Sky at any time of day and pretty much guarantee it'd be better than this.I have seen a 10 minute sample of one of these IMAX things that was under the sea and narrated by Jonny Depp and Kate Winslett and that seemed amazing but I can't find it to buy anywhere.

3D adventures with conservation in mind, only to tell us the Americans are being wasteful again, this time with there own water, and hoping to worn the rest of the world what were all doing wrong. Somewhat ironic really. But politics aside, the film is stunning, although the (how its made) features etc. is in 4x3 format and looks as though its shot on a hand held costing a fiver, disappointing, I thought at least, this would have been made in HD! Especially coming from IMAX. Back to the main film. I was looking forward to the helicopter ride though the Grand Canyon, as you would expect, and yes they are there, and very good, but the best ride is down the river, have a towel ready its very realistic. You can see in curtain parts it was definitely made for a cinema audience, looking up, as the wide angle and curved horizon is really too much for home TV viewing, leaving you thinking it's all a bit too unreal. Grumbles aside, I'm glad its in my collection.

I think this is a brilliant documentary i do not think the comentary is annoying like other people say.The 3D effects are brilliant everything just pops right out the screen infront of you and think you can just touch it.The only downside to this documentary is it is very short it last just over 40 minutes that is the only downside.If you want to see the full capability of a 3d tv buy this documentary!

Pictures were so high quality that now we dont need to travel 9 timezones to look at it ourself. The narration was also nice when we got the long time (some million years) perspective of this beautiful place. Only one problem, we will watch it many times, then we must find some other music and switch off the narration. It would be a good idea for the producer to make 2 or more soundtracks to choose from.

I bought this rather overpriced dvd because of the reviews it had, people saying, "wow couldn't believe the 3d it was jumping out of the screen at me". Another person said, "At times I was dodging out of the way." Well I've watched and anybody wants to buy it cheap see me I was well, not impressed.The 3d is there, but it's all in depth not once going down the rapids did I notice things coming out of the screen and no it's not the fault of my system I have just bought one of the latest 3d Samsung's and the 3d films I have watched on it have been really impressive, but this one, there was multiple chances in the film of that happening, but all you see is water slashed on the camera lens.So I would say save your money, this to say it's an Imax as well is a total waste in my opinion.

If you have a 3D television and Bluray player this is one to watch, It was my first experince of 3D telly, I was just amazed at the way the the picture jumps out at you , It's not the longest of films , but very interesting, The boat trips down the river, the people must be mad , the water is ferocious, Give it a watch!!
