Title: Nothing to loose if you don't have it in HD
Product review: This is actually my fist HD DVD from National Geographic and to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed in general. The good thing is I didn't face any problem playing the disk in my player, as reported by some others. The storyline is okay but I found it's kinda boring sometimes. If you think about HD, the PQ is not up to the standard in my opinion. Most of time it's actually hardly distinguishable from the standard definition version. The close-up scenes are okay but the long shots are as blurry as 90's movies. Night scenes are grainy but not so bad that you will feel like skipping the chapter. The gap between two chapters could be shorter as well. So, in the end, if you already have it in SD, then HD not really worth it. And if you can't afford to buy or can't get it for any reason, as I said, you not gonna loose anything that you will ever regret.
