This piece of genius art, is a must see for all who have (at the very minimum), the slightess appreciation for life itself. Ron Fricke's classic BARAKA will go down in history as one of the most incredible, spiritual, moving, films ever made. I've had the old version for years and NEVER got tired of watching it but now that I have it on Blu-ray, it's a whole new ballgame. It really is watching it for the first time again! I cannot believe the detailed picture and especially the incredible Stearns score. You really can't "rate" Baraka at all. You should accept it as a part of life because it really is. This is the ULTIMATE Blu-ray.

I recently got a 50" plasma (panasonic G10) and a blu-ray player (panasonic 60) and I wanted to test out all the blu-rays that supposedly had the best picture quality. These nature docs have been considered some of the best.
GALAPAGOS = 4-Star Blu-Ray Video / 2-Star Nature Doc
The video is good, but not great like a pristine movie transfer like Sin City or Kung-Fu Panda. I found this nature doc particularly boring. It has a few nice bits, but there's lots of repetition of shots, and wildlife just isn't as interesting as the other docs. I would only reccomend this if you're super super super interesting in learning about Galapagos.
GANGES = 4-Star Blu-ray Video / 3-Star Nature Doc
Video quality is about the same as Galapagos, good, but there's a lot better. This nature doc is a lot more interesting than Galapagos, more magic shots, better tid bits, a more emotional experience. This is worth checking out for the content.
PLANET EARTH = 4.5-Star Blu-ray Video / 4-Star Nature Doc
This is a fantastic video transfer, better than Galapagos and Ganges. By better, I mean, richer blacks, deeper colors, sharper detail. All around, a step up. This is a four disc experience. I think they put all their best content on the first disc. Seriously, the first disc was thrilling, the others were a huge step down, in terms of locations and wildlife. Maybe it's a weird personal preference thing, but I watched the first disc three times, but could barely get through the others. I would say disc one is a must see.
BARAKA = 5-Star Blu-ray Video / 5-Star Nature Doc
This wins the Super Shiny Titanium Standard Award for best video and best nature doc. It was shot on 70mm and transfered to, like, quad-HD digital. This is one of the very best blu-rays ever made. It holds up against all new releases, because the source was 70mm. And this nature doc seemed the most magical. If you want to get a good demo disc, to show to any audience, this is the one. And the Baraka experience sticks with you. I can see myself watching this quite a few times in the years ahead, just for the experience.

The photography is outstanding and the music superb. However, I was disappointed there was no dialogue. I am not a learned person. I did not recognize many of the scenes and did not understnad many of the associations. For me, this was very frustrating. I would love to watch it again if only someone could narrate.

Initially bought the movie simply to enjoy the BluRay picture, but the film turned out to be amazing as well. The time spent to capture this footage baffles me... a beautiful film of the world and how we fit in with it.
By Lee Grace (Ireland)
Ron Fricke and Co deserve the acclaim that this film has received over the years. It is without a doubt the best film i have ever seen for visuals. Thanks to Blu Ray technology, the film is extended ten fold in clarity, rawness and depth. I viewed the film on my ps3 console through my 32" HD television at 1080i resolution and it was crystal clear. My next task is to view it on a much larger screen! Be careful however if you are buying the region 'A' version and you live in Europe... it won't play. It must be a region 'B' copy. All in all, this film goes beyond cinematography, its has become an art form in its own right.
