A Beautiful Documentary and Great Learning Aid
19 Feb 2010
This movie was a wonderful overview about reefs and sea life that lives around reef habitats. The quality of the scenes was amazing, especially in high definition. Not only was the scenery beautiful but the lessons given on many of the different life forms was fascinating and very informative. I kept thinking about how great the documentary would have been with a class once taken in marine biology several years ago. The material presented was both accurate and very engaging. Students that wish to learn about marine life or marine biology could learn quite a bit with this video. Highly recommended for anyone interested in reef ecosystems or marine life in general.

5 stars for the series, 1 star for the release
11 Dec 2010
5 stars for the series, 1 star for the release, so average: 3 stars
The "Equator" series is a wonderfully filmed, written and narrated nature series. In quality is matches, if not surpasses, the later and much more hyped "Planet Earth", "Life" series's. Unfortunately, the producers and/or distributors did not market it as successfully. As to the DVD releases, they also made a few blunders:
1. the cover of these DVDs are too gaudy, it makes one think of them as cheap children films. But they are not; they are professionally made nature shows.
2. they did not release them as a box set. In fact, it is very hard to find all the DVDs in the same series.
There are:
1) Power of an Ocean: The Galapagos and Palmyra ...
2) Battle for the Light: The rainforests of South East Asia ...
3) Rivers of the Sun: The mighty Amazon River ...
4) Paradox of the Andes: In Ecuador the equatorial sun ...
5) Reef of Riches: tropical jungle and on the coral reef ...
6) Challenge of Change > the Great Rift Valley ...
One day I will add all of these to my collection.
Note to Discovery: please release a box set of Bluray DVDs!

For reef lovers only

This is the best REEF doumentary I've ever seen. It stays on course with plenty of mind - boggeling footage of what can (even today) be described as "PRISTINE" coral cover. There is enough; but not too much, biological data thrown your way to actually keep it interesting without causing you to nod off, like an Al Gore Speech. Next best thing to being there!
