++ Chronos Blu ray



I bought this on HD-DVD based on the strength of others' reviews. I have to say...I'm a little disappointed (but not too much). The time lapse photography is breathtaking at times, the accompanying music is well matched. However, it has been approximately 25 years since this was made, and the visuals that were unbelievable in the 80s are far more commonplace today. The clarity is perfectly suited for 1080p HD, as is the rich soundtrack.

Chronos provides great background visuals and music for a more formal dinner party of get together; it's not particularly fitting for "let's go watch Chronos!" As background or filler, it's great. As the main feature, it's a little slow and uninspiring for me.
