Australia - Great
I have really enjoyed the DVD and it arrived quickly. The service was great.

Excellent!
This film gives a stunningly beautiful view of the landscapes and wildlife of Australia, with an interesting, informative narration. Anyone who is fascinated by Australia and the natural world will love this continent-wide visual tour. It's the sort of film you can watch again and again. Well worth the purchase price.

Ruined by religion!
This otherwise pretty good film was totally ruined by the religion of evolution mentioned many times over. Why would anyone want to present a theory as fact to ruin their movie and any future interest in any their works? For whatever reason, that is exactly what the makers of this film have done for me.

Too limited, too short!!
I bought this DVD in anticipation of migrating to Australia. I was expecting a well balanced documentary about Australia: history, wildlife, people, cultures etc. The DVD promises 74 min, so it should be able to cover all that. But after about 30 minutes of in itself interesting material, the DVD was done already. I felt very disappointed, as I expected many more minutes and much more than just a few animals and even some repeating scenes.

Infomercial??
I was disappointed with the DVD, of course the IMAX format is great, stunning images...but there is no life. It comes across as an infomercial on Australia, and we have seen most of the areas pictured many times. Very superficial.
I love Australia, a great place to visit, I wanted more of the people, more of the country, more of the history...

Incredible Let Down
Australia: Land Beyond Time (IMAX) [Blu-ray]
Only 45 minutes of video, not the advertised 75 minutes. I guess they took into account the "B Roll" stuff, which did not look like it was filmed in HD. The production was quite bad as well. Look at desert, look at kangaroos, look at desert, look at more kangaroos. No cities, just outback, a few more animals, and a brief lesson on continental drift and quite repetitive concerning...kangaroos. Don't waste your money in my opinion.

Ok, not as good as expected
I expected more video of some of the scenic areas in Australia. This DVD focuses on the animals in Ausralia and the terrain. I was hoping it would include something on the Great Barrier Reef but it didn't. The video was good quality and the narration was informative.

Not for Tourism
This was not exactly what I expected. Since I've been planning a trip Down Under, I thought the movie would showcase some of the more popular places that people would visit, so I could get a visual of what I was hoping to see while there. Instead I got more of a National Geographic flora/fauna of the outback, perspective. It is a great film about the outback, its wildlife and climate, but for tourism information it doesn't have what I was looking for to help plan my trip.

Nice Present for a Traveler
I gave this DVD as a birthday present to a friend who was planning a trip to Australia within a couple of months. I have not seen the documentary and can only comment on my friend's reaction to watching it frequently before her trip. She was pleased with the information, scenery, and especially the animals on the film. She has a hectic schedule and little time for TV and films. However, she commented several times how much she was enjoying this DVD. She's in Australia now, so I'll have to wait until she returns to find out if it helped her during the trip.

Australia
AUSTRALIA THE BEAUTIFUL
DISCOVERING AUSTRALIA
AUSTRALIA - THE LAND BEYOND TIME
These movies are all informative, and Australia itself is of course gorgeous. Some people seem to think the only things in Australia are kangaroos, koalas, Aborigines, Crocodile Dundee, and Steve Irwin feeding his baby to the crocodiles. Students in China will ask you "What is the weather like in Australia?" as if a country roughly the size of China or the USA has the same weather from east to west and north to south. These films will show you otherwise, but it is annoying that I can't find a single DVD about Australia made by Australians. These are distinctly American, even though the third has a British narrator.
