30 countries, five years, sixty hours, $65 million dollars, HDTV.



Atlas is quite an ambitious project by Discovery HD. They are going to cover 30 countries in five years, all in beautifully filmed, high-definition splendour.

The first episode, China:Revealed was on tonight, and it was awesome. The beautiful country side, the bustling cities, the Great Wall, everything looked amazing.

Ever since Planet Earth ended on CBC:HD last week, I have been having HD documentary withdrawals, and this new series is just the methadone supplement the doctor ordered.
