This is an IMAX presentation that I viewed on DVD.
The images are striking, and this film gives a better overall look at the islands than in other similar films I have seen.
Directly west of Ecuador and virtually on the Equator the Galapagos Islands are remnants of ancient volcanoes. By whatever mechanism the various species of life arrived at those isolated islands, over the thousands of generations each has evolved uniquely. When Darwin visited there in the 1800s this observation led to his theories on natural selection as the primary mechanism of evolution.
This IMAX film not only looks at some of the land species, they also use a special diving submarine to go to the bottom of the ocean to collect species never before seen and examined.
Overall an excellent short film, and a good one to demonstrate the picture on a big screen TV.
