I saw a review where the person must have been looking for an IMAX tourist guide instead of a tropical relaxation experience. While it may not be as sharp as IMAX, that doesn't mean its not pretty, and its definately twice the resolution of VHS. I guess if I were looking for a Hollywood blockbuster film on the Hawaiian Islands I would expect that sort of production. However, if you are looking for beautiful scenes with natural tropical stereo sound, not 'artificially' mixed surround sound and no cheezy overdubbed elevator music, then Waves is just the ticket. Enjoy!

All six islands are captured in their own unique ten minute segment. Spend a few minutes with each non moving, non zooming shot, just sitting there. Listening to the waves, and letting your mind wander... Without quick 'Hollywood' editing, you are invited into the shot to relax and admire mother nature's rhythm and flow. Each segment consists of 5 shots lasting a few minutes each, capturing a complete day ending with a marvelous sunset. It truly is a 'mindmassage' meant for you to just relax, do nothing, and be! (I have been so relaxed that I have drifted off to sleep. That's really a blessing considering everything.)

Much more soothing than a fishtank or fireplace, you'll be gratefully transported to a far off land of peace and beauty. Play your favorite CD: Enya, Pure moods, smooth jazz, whatever?! for a completely different - but still lovely - experience. Share this wonderful gift with your friends and family. They'll thank you for it.
