This is fine, if it's what you're looking for, but it's not a normal educational program.There is no voice-over at all, just pretty pictures.I love Costa Rica, and I'm no pro with a camera, but it seems to me the locations aren't the best.I haven't compared others of these types of discs (I've been to C.R. many times), so maybe this is as good as it gets, but I've only watched it once, and doubt if I'll watch it again. Posted on October 9, 2010 Diego Valade says... The first hour was fine, but after that we kept seeing the same thing over and over again.I watched it once.Dave Posted on October 11, 2010 Cleta Demuzio says... I have a large collection of this type of disk and this is one of the best, both for the quality of the images and the content itself. What you have to understand is that this is NOT a documentary or a travelogue -- it is "eye candy" normally used as background visuals (with or without music and sounds). It has soothing and beautiful shots of hummingbirds, waterfalls, and other natural settings but it isn't really meant to be "watched" like a movie. Put it on in the background while you're in the room reading or having a party and allow it to loop continuously. At least that's what I do, and it's spectacular -- I look up now and then and always seem to see something I didn't see the first 1098 times I watched it! Posted on October 12, 2010 Suzette Pickings says... This disc was an HDscape of Rain Forest scenery in Costa Rica.The photography was outstanding; the scenery was extremely interesting and enjoyable.It is probably my favorite of all of the HDscapes! Posted on October 12, 2010 Salley Sarson says... I've been to Costa Rica five times because it is a beautiful country with friendly people. So I got this thinking it would remind me of the country. Well, it does have scenes of nature that appear to be in Costa Rica. The shots are so close you can't tell where it was filmed. One particular waterfall seems to be a favorite as it is repeatedly shown (at least three times). It also appears that the camera was set up in a small clearing and a few birds were caught passing in flight because different birds are seen at different times in the production but the setting is identical (including the framing). As I was viewing it I decided it would be a perfect DVD to play in the background for a dinner party, open house, or quiet evening at home. The detail on the birds, frogs, and fauna are amazing. Yes, I'd buy it again. Posted on October 12, 2010 Beulah Eigo says... I will watch this one over and over. It is so full of beauty and unusual sights. The photographer had to have such patience to get these shots. I could neversee stuff likethis as a traveler or tourist. I saw insects, birds, andbigger animalsthat I did not know existed. And they all seemed to exist in such perfect harmony with their surroundings. Watchingthis DVD is a truly inspiring experience. I kept thinking over and over, "how did he get those shots?" Posted on October 12, 2010 Tequila Ruggerio says... The whole point of the living landscapes blu-ray series is to have a tape where you can relax - choose either nature sounds or music - no voice over telling you how all this is disappearing because we're bulldozing it down or shooting the animals. The program is about an hour long but it loops around and plays again so that if you are napping you are not disturbed. Or as another reviewer suggests, you can have it on when you have guests over as background. It is just what it says it is - a living landscape that you can visit without needing shots, a passport and 4 hours of security checks at the airport. highly recommended. Posted on October 13, 2010 Alexis Bormuth says... This DVD is absolutely stunning. I first bought the 10 Most Beautiful Places DVD and fell in love with the stunning videography, music and nature sounds. Now I have most of the DVD's. The Costa Rica one is absolutely amazing. It has video of waterfalls, ocean, hummingbirds and butterflies, parrots and more...The hummingbird footage is spectacular. I've never seen such clear footage of this amazingly small, beautiful creature. I facilitate meditation and literally these DVD's are an awesome visual meditation! Getting out in nature and enjoying its' beauty is a meditation, and these DVD's make you feel like you are right there! I can't wait to start watching the Pacific Coast, Hawaii and others that I have...I would highly recommend this to anyone. The Planet Earth segments have received national attention from Oprah and more, but these are better in my opinion! They don't contain narration (and therefore have that "educational" feel) so you can just sit back and enjoy the beauty! Lisa Hepner "Meditation expert" (Portland, OR) originally posted for HD version of this DVD Posted on October 16, 2010 Minta Hidy says... This is a gorgeous video of the lush and tropical cloud forests and rain forests of Costa Rica in Central America.The audio also captures a wide variety of beautiful wild animal voices throughout the program that greatly adds to the visual experience. The vistas vary from forest floors and canopies to rushing waterfalls. The numerous jungle scenes are interspersed with many moving close-up images of butterflies, hummingbirds, frogs, flowers, parrots, lizards, monkeys and other residents of this great multi-species habitat. This would be a great addition to any nature video library. Posted on October 16, 2010 Jeanmarie Oday says... This was great, I bought it to show off what Blu-Ray looks like and to also show off my new surround sound, and it is great although a few shots are a bit fuzzy.
