Komodo: A Paradise Under Pressure' is a 20-minute VR Nature documentary which takes you on an incredible journey through the waters and islands of Komodo National Park; a unique ecosystem situated in the Indonesian archipelago.
World record freediver and Ocean Explorer William Winram, together with his protégé marine biologist Lukas Müller, go to extreme lengths to show you the beauty of the Park and some of its iconic inhabitants, including the deadly Komodo Dragon and the giant Reef Manta Ray.
During their dives they assist Nat Geo’s “Queen of Mantas” Andrea Marshall who is researching the manta ray population in the Park. Together, the three of them have some amazing encounters with the wildlife they are fighting to protect. Sadly, it is not all beauty and wonder; the team is confronted with serious plastic pollution which is putting a growing strain on this magical place.
VR Gorilla, Watermen Project and Blend Media have partnered to produce this long-form VR documentary.

I really enjoyed this 20 minute video app. It starts out showing the beauty of the island and the water that surrounds it, then turns to show the ugliness of the water and land because of the horrible human garage that is destroying the planet. It's beautiful and ugly and a lesson the world needs to learn before we kill the planet. Very educational and great for teenagers to learn and hopefully change the future.

This is a well-shot and immersive experience that takes you right on the beach where groups of komodo dragons can be found, into the water to swim with groups of manta rays, and to the highest peaks of the islands to see the beauty of the land. The video is balanced between documentary style nature footage and footage taken that shows the human impact on the environment. Personally, I wanted more time viewing the dragons, and the above water footage seems noticeably higher-res, so I am surprised so much of this video app was spent on the Manta portion. That being said, they are all beautiful creatures, and I know there are heavy safety restrictions while being on Rinta Island filming the dragons. A great effort that I would recommend to anyone for the price A++
