National Geographic Movie Collection (Wildest Weather/Flying Monsters/Sea Monsters/Lewis&Clark/Sea Monsters/Forces of Nature) [Blu-ray]

Nation Geographic Collection Blu-Ray
This is a collection of five National Geographic documentaries. A variety of topics are included. Some interest me more than others (I like "Forces of Nature" best), but you can decide for yourself whether you're interested. If you do decide the topics interest you, I can report that you will have a mildly entertaining and informative viewing experience.

The most important thing to note is that these are not feature films - each film is only 40-45 minutes in length.

I believe these documentaries were originally filmed for large format theaters, such as IMAX. I have an IMAX dome nearby at a local science center, and I remember some of these films playing there. The good news is that because these were designed for large format venues, on home video they have an aspect ratio of 1.78:1. That means if you're using a standard widescreen TV the image should fill your entire screen (no black bars).

Video and audio quality on these discs are generally good...
