Description

David Attenborough embarks on an extraordinary journey to unravel one of nature s most gripping stories the evolution of flying animals. The power of flight is one of the greatest miracles of nature. Over one hundred billion creatures soar through the air today - from nectar-drinking hummingbirds, to armoured airborne beetles; from bats hunting in the black of night, to bizarre winged lizards. In Conquest of the Skies, David Attenborough travels back in time to unravel the astonishing 300-million-year story of how these animals first appeared, and then evolved into the huge variety of aeronauts that fill our skies today. Only now, using the latest scientific analysis, can he reveal the hidden mechanics behind their gravity-defying skills. Ground-breaking 3D cameras, high speed filming and stunning CGI bring the viewer closer than ever to this astounding aerial world. From the steaming rainforests of Borneo to the frozen fossil beds of China, the arid canyons of Spain to the cloud forests of Ecuador, this series spans the globe to explore the thrilling and surprising story of how the flying animals came to conquer the skies.

I don't know if i got a dodgy copy but i am giving this three stars purely because the 3D was underwhelming. Sir David remains a legend in my eye and he did this masterfully as expected, but the poor 3D imagining let it down imho as it didn't feel very much 3D if I'm honest. I have a fair bit of 3D in my home blu ray collections, including ones on nature, but this Conquest of the Skies has got to be my least favourite. Any disc that leaves me checking every second if the 3d feature has been turned off or not (due to how underwhelming it looks) is a no no!

Sir David Attenborough At His Best

Super 3D documentary from Sky TV starring the wonderful Sir David Attenborough. It’s informative and amazing in 3D. I just wish we still had 3D TV channels when I purchased our 3D TV and Blu-ray player. This one, along with the Mini beasts documentary by Sir David is worth watching. I recommend this dvd to all ages, even our cat was transfixed (shame he hasn’t got a pair of little 3D glasses). This dvd worked perfectly with the shutter style 3D glasses that are rechargeable.

3D effects are perfect.

I got this for my parents for the new active 3D projector I got for them. Nice Crystal clear video and Excellent audio. A problem with some 3D films is that there are so many things in it that it is hard to enjoy it. In this film the 3D effects are perfect.

Excellent presentation with the much loved David Attenborough presenting

Excellent presentation with the much loved David Attenborough presenting. All of his Blu Rays are a must for content and quality. I have ensured i have them all and some others that he did not present. For best affect Blu ray is a must. It is just stunning on a large TV.David is wonderful and irreplacable. I am not looking forward to he leaving us & hope he lives a very long and healthy life.
