720p Blurayworld ((install)) — Wild Seas 2022
Unlike a slow-moving documentary about plants or insects, Wild Seas is about motion and chaos. The ocean's power is conveyed through movement, not static detail. A 1080p or 4K version would show individual droplets of spray, but a good 720p encode shows the spray as a cohesive wave. Furthermore, the film’s color palette (muted blues, greys, and greens) does not require high resolution to be emotionally impactful.
The film received mixed reviews. Strengths include realistic ocean cinematography and sound design. Weaknesses noted by critics include a thin plot and slow pacing between storm sequences. wild seas 2022 720p blurayworld
