"Alaska: Spirit of the Wild" transports viewers on a voyage into the last great frontier where nature enchants the eye with magnificent spectacles. Viewers will find themselves fishing with brown bears, soaring with bald eagles, dodging calving glaciers, and racing on the hooves of caribou.

Glacial avalanches, aurora borealis, baby bears and thousands of seabirds are but a few of the visual thrills of Alaska.

Hollywood Report Card

Warmly filmed (despite the latitude), sharply scripted narration, with an appropriate score. "Whether or not we ever reach Alaska, we all want to know that such a place still exists.

Rated: 3.5/4

Thankfully, Alaska is not a laundry list of spectacular animals -- but a tribute to one of nature's last purely wild landscapes.

It was choppy. No dynamic thread. Individual stories about the species were great but not pulled together well.

Excellent picture. Not nearly as exciting as I remember it, partially because I now live in Alaska, but mainly because as nice at it is on Blu-Ray it is much better in an Omnitheater.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
