Wild Deep takes audiences on a journey into the most amazing hotspots under the world's oceans for a look at the diverse life that populates Earth's waters. Unique creatures, exotic life, strange facts, and countless examples of nature's beauty are highlighted in several twenty-minute high definition spectacles that will amaze and inform audiences of all ages.
Wild Deep features an imperfect but steady and mostly delightful high definition picture. Colors are fairly bold and intense, while details prove a touch soft in places but hold up well considering the underwater environment. The image fares best above water where definition improves and clarity increases. Mostly, however, this transfer is all about that gorgeous palette of oranges, greens, reds, and yellows against the watery blue backdrops. It's a fun watch.
Wild Deep is just too loud. The soundtrack booms at reference level, so keep things cranked down, considerably. Once a comfortable volume is achieved, the narration finds more balance and clarity. Musical support isn't front-and-center much of the time, but it does enjoy adequate spacing and sonic definition.
The only "bonus content" is an extended episode that examines what lies underneath the waters surrounding Antarctica (43:55). This segment also features a new narrator. Otherwise, no extras are included. A DVD copy is included in the box.
Wild Deep is a wild success of easily digestible but informative information on the wonders and beauty of underwater life. It's excellent for families, classrooms, or anyone interested in what exists below the water's surface and exploring life and the world in which it lives, a world that most will never see beyond the television screen. Millennium's Blu-ray release of Wild Deep features high quality video and booming audio. One extra double-length segment is included. Highly recommended for families and classrooms.
