Journey Into Amazing Caves (2001)

Science lesson worth sharing

From a teacher's point of view...worthwhile for the student generation. I saw this in the IMAX theatre and encouraged my 5th graders to go see it with their families. There is great info in there to complement the science curriculum and therefore it is an excellent addition to any life or earth science teacher's bag of classroom extras. It is full of scenery that most 10 year olds will not likely encounter in the real world and shows them where a science career could take them. The narrators encourage kids to keep up with the research via their websites...a productive use of time if a child surfs the net anyway. The photography was breathtaking...I wish it were longer.

No or little cave scenery

This video was a disappointment. I purchased the video to see beautiful cave scenery, not someone hanging off the side of a mountain. The focus should have been on the caves and the scenery within, NOT on the people making the video. The title was very misleading, plus one disk, you have to play on a computer which I did not know at time of purchase. I though I was buying a DVD video with two disk (must check product description closely). Wish I could return it for a refund. October 22, 2007

Girl Power!

My Brownie troop saw this video at a gem and mineral show. There was tons of fascinating stuff at the show and the video was 40 minutes long, but I just could not tear them away. First through third graders sat and watched the whole thing absolutely enthralled. The objective of playing the video at the gem and mineral show was to interest people in spelunking. Mission accomplished! And how perfect for a troop of Brownies that it was women featured in the movie. I plan to check this movie out of the library so my daughters can watch it again.

Amazing Caves WMVHD Edition

The DVD is magnificient but the WMV Disc is problematic
all the demos work fine but the full lenght movies 720 format and 1080 formats will only work if the computer is "fully" compatible with the "windows" DRM system.
if your video card or your monitor or your soundcard is not an approved piece of hardware be prepared to be dissapointed or fork out a lot of money for the DRM approved replacements
I am one of the Dissapointed ones because the sound card built in to the motherboard of the computer is not acceptable to the movie DRM February 14, 2007
