PICTURE QUALITY:
Brightly colored and monstrously vivid - be it a snow-crested mountainscape or a tropical rainforest. The sharpness and detail depend, however, on the choice of camera technology, varying between good and razor-sharp. Nighttime and underwater shots, by their nature, limit the picture's sharpness and plasticity.

(8 out of 10 points)

SOUND QUALITY:
Surround effects nonstop! Whether it's sea-ice cracking (11:18), birdsong (22:50), or whale song (69:25) - it all comes across extremely vividly and realistically. The subwoofer announces approaching threats - such as wolf attacks - with a menacing rumble.
