HD Moods Aquarium

 (2008)

Other



HD Moods Aquarium in ultra-sharp 1080p is a spectacular display of cinema-quality high definition. Shot with a Red Digital Camera at a remarkable 4,000 lines of resolution, it combines 5.1 surround sound, three spa-inspired music tracks and three saltwater scenes, and 24p image processing to bring the fish to life!

HD Moods Aquarium Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


One thing that can't be argued with is the image quality of all of the HD Moods series. These really are gorgeous offerings in terms of clarity and color. I know I personally loved the underwater scenes of Planet Earth best, and Aquarium, while obviously not providing the breadth and depth of that epochal series, approaches the image quality of Earth in its more subdued ambitions. Fish are scene so clearly that their translucence is amazing at times. While none of these fish is eye poppingly colorful, the coral and surrounding undersea environments really do make up for it, with luscious oranges and blues populating the screen. The subtly shifting light is also a delight to watch, giving a really nicely gradated palette as shafts of luminescence waft through the water. Yes, nothing much happens in Aquarium, but, boy, is it pretty to watch!


HD Moods Aquarium Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Once again there will be audiophiles who will probably complain that, like other HD Moods offerings, we're not treated to lossless audio here. But is it really necessary in an offering like this? After all, chances are this title is going to be used for background filler, not something to show off your 7.1 surround system. HD Moods does provide Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 offerings with three soundtracks, a natural gurgling, bubbling mix, plus, as noted above, two New Age synth driven scores. I personally much preferred the natural ambient soundtrack, which calmly filled the surround channels with soothing water noises providing a literally immersive experience. I was less impressed by either of the music offerings, which, despite their "wallpaper" ethos, called too much attention to themselves and thereby distracted from the hypnotic nature of the imagery. Fidelity is excellent on all of these tracks, with no distortion or drop outs. It's not lossless, but only the most finicky is going to complain.
