BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)

With a running time of 150 minutes this BBC/National Geographic documentary on the legendary Galapagos Islands is a milestone cinemagraphically dazzling exploration of the setting that gave Darwin his most complete evidence for the theory of evolution.

"Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador is an amazing and unique place. Made up of 13 large volcanic islands (and dozens of smaller ones), the Galapagos Islands are famed for their amazing variety of wildlife and inspiring a world-changing tome by Charles Darwin. Once considered "hellish" by seamen who encountered their lively volcanic activity, the islands are now recognized as a wonder of the natural world.

Galapagos is a collection of three BBC shows broadcast on the National Geographic Channel in 2006. Narrated by actress Tilda Swinton (Constantine), the series provides a view of the famous islands that manages to be both wide-ranging and intimate at the same time."

Description | back to top

Location - The Galapagos lies slap bang in the middle of a volcanic hotspot. Eruptions have created a string of 13 main islands and more than 100 smaller outcrops. Because of its isolation and protection from human contact, it has allowed 95% of its endemic species to survive.

"On the technical front, this is a great effort. Shot on hi-definition video, the image looks stunning and is coupled with amazing cinematography. The 2.0 Dolby Digital audio is solid, mixing narration and natural sound in a balanced and impressive way. Finally, BBC Video has done a real service to viewers by including English sub-titles.

For anyone with an interest in the Galapagos Islands, Galapagos is a treasure trove of information and experiences. BBC Video is to be commended for allowing us a chance to witness the beauty this natural wonder has to offer."
