Default Adventure to Captivus DVD

Received my copy yesterday and watched it. Pretty neat.

Anyone else seen it?

Can you give us a more detailed review? I am still on the fence about buying it and am not sure its worth the money. Is it? You can PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting in public.
Thanks,
mark

I saw it and it was well done. The only issues I have are that I would have liked to see less about the expedition (i.e. boat trips, restaurants, interviews) and more about the frog and its conservation (which happened in the last 1/4 of the video). I've got that issue, and pronunciation. Hearing them pronounce dendrobates as dendro-baits and captivus as captEEvus caused me to twitch a little bit, lol. Other than that, it was very cool.

That's my movie review for the day

Just consider your money a donation if you're looking for justification for laying out the cash. It was worth every penny in my opinion, but then the captivus is one spectacular little frog... Two pums up from JL-Exotics!

OK, I guess I'll pull the trigger and get it. And given the species, wouldn't it be more appropriate to give it two thumbnails up?
