From
Luc Jacquet - the man who brought you March of the Penguins,
comes another chilly nature documentary, Antarctica: Ice and Sky
(2016). This time, the focus is on Antarctica and the telling of
Claude Louris, who was the first scientist to discover man made
climate change! Beautifully shot and edited, the documentary poses
some interesting thoughts on the subject, while giving viewers a look
back at unique archival footage that is documentary filmmaking at
some of its finest.
Some
of the shots and directing in this are pretty remarkable as is
Louris' story. The most interesting aspect to me are all of the
people that at first didn't believe that climate change is actually a
posing threat to humanity. After watching this film, I'm sure those
naysayers are going to be biting their tongues, denial continuing or
not.
Presented
in standard definition with an anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of
1.85:1 and a lossy English (and French) lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital
Track, the film looks and sounds fine for the DVD format, but could
benefit greatly in high definition on Blu-ray disc with all of this
great cinematography.
