Directed by Stephen Judson (Everest, the Oscar®-nominated short Dolphins) and narrated by Liam Neeson (the voice behind Everest and The Endurance), Journey into Amazing Caves centers around the work of "cavers" Nancy Aulenbach and Dr. Hazel Barton. Aulenbach is a teacher from Georgia, and Barton, a microbiologist from England. During the course of the 38-minute documentary, they travel from Arizona to Greenland to Mexico, exploring remote caves all the way. All are difficult to get to; some can only be reached by rock climbing (the cave in the Grand Canyon), others can only be reached by rappelling down slick sheets of ice (the one in Greenland). As a result, there's something for everyone in this popular IMAX feature, including a dramatic score from the Moody Blues (reworked versions of old hits, plus new songs "Water" and "We Can Fly") and a revealing "making of" documentary featuring interviews with cast and crew. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Description
Journey into Amazing Caves is a visceral, suspenseful expedition with a new breed of scientists who boldly explore places once thought off-limits to human presence, let alone IMAX cameras. Join Dr. Hazel Barton and Nancy Aulenbach as they travel to unique and forbidding ice caves in Greenland, underwater caves in the Yucatan, terrestrial caves in the Grand Canyon and other spectacular locations. You will wriggle through tiny, twisting passages, swim through flooded underground vaults, drop into gleaming blue labyrinths of ice, and enter a world so extreme the microscopic creatures who live there are called extremophiles. For those compelled to push their limits in the world's most hostile environments, the risk of fatal danger and thrill of new discovery are the everyday factors that make cave exploration such an awe-inspiring experience. Narrated by Liam Neeson, with music by The Moody Blues.

5 out of 5 stars Girl Power!.......2007-04-16

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.

4 out of 5 stars Amazing Caves WMVHD Edition.......2007-02-14

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

5 out of 5 stars MUST SEE.......2005-07-21

This was a great adventure the documentary is the most beautiful I have ever seen! It really gives you great appreciation for MOTHER EARTH! MUST SEE! AMAZING!!!!

1 out of 5 stars Caves, what caves?.......2005-06-15

This is the most misleadlingly (is that a word?)titled movie I have ever seen. Amazing caves? What caves? The first 15 minutes of this reletively short 40 minute film don't take place in any cave. All they do is talk about them. Then when they finally enter a cave they are there for a few seconds. The few and far between cave scenes are interspersed with lots kayaking scenes, laboratory scenes, and classroom scenes. Was this film funded by the pharmasutical industry? The lead scientist in the film is always saying how she does this cave dwelling stuff to find exrtremophiles that will create new cures for diseases. Blechh! I wanted a movie about caves that showed beautiful caves. Granted, the latter half of the film provided more cave time but it was too little too late with too much of an environmental-disease-curing propaganda feel to it than I could stomach. It should have been titled "How To Search for New Cures in a Few Caves while Being Environmentally Conscious." Somehow I don't think that title would have sold many IMAX tickets or DVD's.

5 out of 5 stars Exceptional High Definition quality.......2004-12-14

First off, the image quality of the HD disk is incredibly impressive. Yes, you need to have a PC hooked to an HDTV, but with the popularity of the new Media Center Edition (MCE) computers, this is much more mainstream than it was a year ago. I was an early adopter of the MCE system and I think it's the only way to watch High Definition DVD's.

As to the program itself, this is one of the funnest DVD's to watch over and over again. There's not too much of a story, but the music, narration, and cinematography is completely captivating. The underwater scenes and ice cave sequences are beautiful. I have two small kids, and they would much rather watch this than Nickelodeon.
