Mind/Spirit Uplifting
A definite "New Age" Book with a perception of the universe and life itself that will leave your mind in a state of continuous rapture for an entire two weeks! Bold concepts, new ideas, and a correlation between quantum physics and ordinary life that make the reader an opponent or an advocate of the views presented in it. A recommended read for those who like to question their reality and the world that surrounds them.
Fun for the family
My daughter (age7) really enjoyed this title and the special features. She keeps asking me if there are any other Captain Jon titles, the DVD has a preview for Captain Jon's Island Adventure - any thoughts on when the next one will come out?
Great introductory video to the oceans
Capt. Jon's video is a great tool to learn about the world's oceans. The underwater videos are exciting and colorful. The extra information about the ocean's animals at the end of the DVD is very educational. A great addition to movies like Finding Nemo.
Definitely a ...
I bought this title after the suggestion by Amazon when I purchased another title and after I read the glowing reviews. But when I watched it with my three year old I was completely disppointed. Granted some of the images are colorful, the video is filled with too much talk and some of the talk bordered on preaching. Some images, talk talk talk. Some more brief images, talk talk talk. It could not hold my three year old's attention at all. ... Instead, the Island of the Sharks DVD I bought is much much better.
Not that great
At 32 minutes long and too much introduction, I found this DVD overpriced. Though the underwater photography is fine, it's also short on the good footage and there is way too much chatter. I was looking for a high-quality production that would engage my three-year old who is fascinated by the "Walking with Dinosaurs" BBC production. He liked the jumping dolphins but otherwise this DVD is WAY THIN. I don't recommend it.
Nice special features
I'd recommended this DVD for children ages 7 and up. It's packed with special features and a respectful message. My child's favorite was "Relax with Fish and other Animals" -- a 10 minute music video.
