Review: Excellent to have a 3D experience - I just got a 3d TV in July 2010. This DVD is by far the best Bluray 3D to date. I am buying all that are generally released since so many are being tied to buying the sets now a days. (A practice that is hurting the very customers that support 3D by buying a 3D TV, then can only get certain movies) An interesting story, that is a little one sided, but nevertheless truthful, tied together with breathtaking cinematography. One of the few 3D movies released to date that not only shows 3D depth, but sends the picture towards you. Other 3D movies do this, but only for a moment or two. This production is great at that. The resolution is crisp and clear. The colors of the canyon really get shown off. Beautiful. Makes me want to go there on my next vacation. A great film of one of our most treasured natural resources. The best 3D to date. You can't go wrong here... Review: The 3D Viewer: Grand Canyon - The 3D was pretty darn good. Rich detail and the birds eye view of the Canyon were awe inspiring. I try not to base my review on anything but 3D and how it looks but the I had a hard time simply taking in all the beauty because of the heavy conversationalist/ water conservation overtones through out the film. While I support the ideas expressed in the film I would have liked to have taken the beautiful raft river ride down the Colorado River free of interruption. Very sharp and beautiful detail was apparent throughout the movie, and it gives you a sense of just how much depth the Grand Canyon has. Spectacular birds eye footage that when watching it in 2D lacks some of that luster that I saw in the 3d version. The 2d was still very pretty but which would you rather view, a screen of high definition images, or the birds eye as it sores through the canyon. I envy the birds. The 3d was good, the movie it self was alright, but I hoped to see more breathtaking images of the Grand Canyon and I did not get that. Robert Redford it seemed only narrated a tiny part of the movie. That was pretty disappointing, it was like they said Morgan Freeman was narrating a film, but than 90% of it was narrated by Andy Dick. I realize that has nothing to do with the 3d, but when I bought the film I was under a different expectation. Ultimately the film was pretty, but political overtones and 3 different narrators hindered my overall experience. Also if you are looking for another awesome Imax 3d movie check out Tahiti big wave. That was a fantastic 3D Imax movie.

A wonderful 3D experience
I figured that for $10.99, I couldn't go wrong. It appears I was right. The photography was excellent and the 3D effects very good, over all, having only a very few areas that seemed a little flat. I found it quite enjoyable and thought its message was pretty much on target. I'd like to address those one star reviews. With the exception of the guy who didn't realized special equipment was needed to view the film in 3D, they all come from the political right. Mention conservation or ecology to them and they immediately foam at the mouth. They've bought the gospel of Exxon-Mobile, Chevron, et al, hook line and sinker. There was even one guy who declared global warming defunct. I wonder how he explains disappearing glaciers and melting polar ice caps.

3D Review by a 3D Connoisseur
My ratings are based mainly on the QUALITY OF THE 3D, not the video content. Not counting a few shallow effects, there are 11 out of screen effects. 4 that extend about 10% of the way, from the screen to the viewer and another 3 around 25%. Bubbles float around extending up to 50% for 90 seconds. Grinding sparks shoot out for 15 seconds up to 50%. A fishing net hangs out 35% for 15 seconds and there is a floating window at about 20%. The effects in the menu are also very nice. No real complaints about the in screen 3D. Most of the footage is clear and excess parallax only showed itself a few times. *** Nice scenery and wild river shots *** *** The bubbles floating around in mid air are pretty cool *** MY 3D RATING = GOOD (poor, fair, good, very good, excellent) Note: As far as the percentages go, everyone's eyes are different. What I see at 25% you may see at 15% or 35%. To fully realize how far something is out of the screen for you, pause on an effect and direct a partner with an extended finger to the tip of what you are seeing. You may be surprised.

Go to the Grand Canyon for $11
Do you like the Dave Matthews Band? What about Robert Redford? Ever want to know what makes John F. Kennedy's son tick ? Well for me, I didn't like Dave Matthews (until I saw this), liked Robert Redford n a couple of movies, and liked listening to RFK on Air America. The real reason you want to see this movie is to see the Grand Canyon in 3-D. This movie does an EXCELLENT job of that. The depth is simply jaw dropping. A lot of people who hated this movie called it preachy, and made it seem like this was for latte drinking liberals. Well, guess what folks, potable water is a limited resource, and if you can't come to this conclusion, you have been following the rhetoric of global warming is a scam funded by the Koch Brothers. The truth is we do have some protected land that some private industry can't buy up and exploit. THANKFULLY! Wow, I'm getting off topic, I guess that makes me care about our environment, and some may even call me a tree-hugger. Anyway, take a trip in a canoe with RFK's family and appreciate the beautiful effects of 3-D. Every person I showed this movie to said like they felt like they were going to get wet when the water splashed out. There are a lot of aerial shots that will take you far away from reality. This is my personal favorite of all 3-D movies, and surprisingly one of the least expensive. Thanks for reading my rant. I'm off to watch this movie for the seventh time.

Used make more sense than full price retail.
It’s a fun use of 3D to see the Grand Canyon.

One of my favorites
I've been buying 3d documentaries since getting my 73 inch 3D tv and when I have company over I have my usual rotation of 30-40 minute long documentaries that elicit the requisite "ooohs and ahhhs". This particular documentary is in my top 5, which warrants the 5 star rating. It is a tad bit "preachy" about water over-use and conservation, but you expect that from a documentary. I am determined to do the same river trip as documented in this movie. After seeing this movie, I added it to my "bucket" list. This movie is mellow and relaxing, contemplative, visually stunning, and joy to watch again and again. I wish they spent more time on the actual river rafting, but the ancillary excursions on their trip were fascinating in and of them self. Though I am not a big fan of Dave Mathews, his music was an excellent choice for this movie, and really ties it all together. The "must-haves" (my opinion only) IMAX documentaries are: o this movie o IMAX Under the sea, narrated by Jim Carey o IMAX Deep Sea or IMAX Ocean Wonderland (lol, I can't remember which one was better) o IMAX Born to be wild (I've seen grown men cry on this one) o IMAX Earth 3D To be skipped o Cave of forgotten dreams (so boring, I couldnt even finish it) o IMAX Space Station And you should get the 3D aquarium one... the cat just loves that one...

Good Subject But Politicized For Hollywood Agenda
The 3D quality is great but every single person I have shown this to comments that Robert Redford sounds like a global warming advocate during the narrative. I agree. It gets very annoying to be trying to enjoy the beauty of this treasure while listening to a narrative of gloom and doom. At the time this movie was made, the activists threatened melting of the global ice caps. Yet, since this movie was made the ice caps have expanded dramatically. The Grand Canyon itself was literally carved out by massive water flows. It has dwindled through the ages and will continue. The Earth will eventually be consumed by our own "red giant" . Politics has no place in this 3D movie yet Hollywood continues to try controlling the political climate, no pun intended. If you turn off the movie's sound track, I give it 3.5 Stars. With Robert Redford aspousing the ills of agenda science, I give it 1 Star. I don't recommend it if you have seen the real Grande Canyon.
