Home (2009)

Blu-ray

Home is a captivating look at this place we call our home. Narrated by Glenn Close this Blu-ray disc is an elegant look at mother earth. The filmmakers travelled to 54 countries and 120 locations to show viewers as many amazing landscapes as their cameras could capture. Over the course of this film we see how earth is also prone to change. It is truly incredible to see how man and nature can effect this planet, yet at the same time it seems to renew and enrich itself all the while.

While we do have Google Earth to take us anywhere we want to go, Home seems to accomplish this same task while making the experience that much more intimate.

No extras came on this Blu-ray disc.

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this Blu-ray release but I am glad that the powers that be at MovieWeb gave it to me to review. This movie is made for this format as it was truly beautiful on my HD screen. While I am sure that things looked good in the standard DVD format, there was an amazingly rich quality to every aspect of this Blu-ray title. From the crisp, richly composed images and the audio that is provided to us by Glenn Close, there was no point in my viewing of this movie that I felt like I was seeing anything less than perfect.

Home is the kind of film that one could certainly use to show off the merits of their Blu-ray player. While I am still one of those people that doesn't see too much of a difference between standard and Blu-ray images, Home isn't really meant to be viewed in any way that isn't going to give all the images both room to breath and room to expand your viewing experience.
