Hmm, my biggest complaint with the modern era of naturedocs is the fake sound they add.

If this "advanced audio technologies and cinematic 360-degree sound design" is capturing the real sounds, I am VERY interested.

If it's just foley artistry, I'm less interested.

I recently finished my basement with a 135" projector screen with 4k HDR, and $13,000 worth of amps and speakers. This I'm excited for.
