I recently bought an Xbox One S and wanted to try an Ultra HD on my Samsung UHD TV. I specifically wanted something to test the HDR. After reading reviews of many UHD titles, this film was mastered from 4K footage, not a 2K intermediate, so the images are sharper. And while I can see a difference between the 4K detail compared to 1080p, it's not something that really impresses me. But the HDR feature is great! My TV had a firmware update to enable HDR but it's not a high-end set that has a full range of contrast and color for true HDR, BUT there's still a significant difference watching HDR compared to SDR (which is also handily included on this disc). The colors just POP. As a bonus, the 3D BD is also fun as my 4 yr old son had fun reaching out to "catch" the butterflies. Having purchased this for $15 on sale it's well worth it if you have the right TV.

A completely spellbinding documentary...from its visuals alone...but it's storytelling as well. The 3D is mindblowing. Giving you direct access to the life of a butterfly. You can touch it. Feel it. And have these mysterious little creatures fly right in to your living room. The overall love story of two people dedicated to finding and understanding these butterflies is beautiful, and even inspiring. The final scene alone tugs at the heart strings in a way not even the best drama can.

This intertwines a nature documentary about Monarch Butterfly migration (which is quite amazing) with the story of the people who discovered the most dramatic aspects of it. It's a clever combination, and put together well. While some might be less interested in the discovery story, to me it's a great illustration of scientific passion and process, and I'm very glad it's included. The nature photography is a bit limited in scope by the subject, but there's very good footage of all the Monarch lifecycle and migration stages. As far as the 4K is concerned, seeing it after Planet Earth II I feel the detail in the shots (especially the wider shots) isn't quite at the same jaw-dropping level, but it certainly looks very good nonetheless.
