The beauty of people helping people is what Rescue 3D brings to the table and the results are simply breathtaking.

The picture quality is flawless and the audio is a treat. Rescue 3D may be a documentary but it feels like a big budget feature film.

The high definition will make you feel like you are right there with first responders, cleaning up debris, supplying food and water and saving the injured.Rescue 3D would be a welcome edition on anyone’s Blu-ray shelf. It is adventurous, eye-opening and at times, educational.
