Movie Reviews of America's Most Scenic Drives
Movie Review: Ultimate $ Value In Scenery
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is quite spectacular. The company who released this is Questar. I was not impresed by their picture quality on a diffrent DVD of "Yosemite" that was an old film. I was leary about purchasing anything again from Questar Inc. untill I decided to buy this DVD."America's Most Scenic Drives" is a great value and I highly suggest those who like scenery with great picture quality to add this on to your collection. This film was produced from a Reader's Digest Collection. THE BEST FEATURE ABOUT THIS DVD IS that it is over 5 HOURS LONG on 4 discs and also includes the ABSOLUTE BEST TRIBUTE ON AMERICA I HAVE EVER SEEN. It is titled "America The Beautiful". Walt Disney did his own 360* format (one of a kind) for Disneyland back in the early 70's. This IS NOT the Disney version at first I was hoping for but Reader's Diget's version is even better than Disney's version. The picture quality is outstanding and top notch next to IMAX production high-definition. This seperate DVD (in the same set) is worth the price alone. "American The Beautiful" features amazing scenery of all the states, includes all our major cities, culture representations along with the absolute best of all America's theme songs representing each state. Such classics are in Dolby 5.1. Includes "New York, New York", "Oaklahoma", "Shenandoah", "This Land Is Our Land", "Take Me Out To The Ball Game", "Old Kentucky Home", "OOl' Man River", "Spirit Of New Orleans", "Chicago", "California Here I Come", John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High", and "America The Beautiful".You cannot get a better value on any scenery DVD out there. Over 5 hours long and the bonus hour long DVD of "America The Beautiful" is a must see!!I have a widescreen 65" projection tv and sometimes have troubles with picture quality when I buy some DVDs because I can see so much. For those with widescreen tv's or big projection tv's, DO NOT be discouraged that this DVD is in full screen format. The picture quality is outstanding!If I was an IMAX producer, I would go to the peoepl who made this version of "America The Beautiful" and see about getting it up on an IMAX screen in IMAX format. Simply amazing!Buy this DVD if you want top notch scenery! This company could've released "AMerica The Beautiful" seperate for the same price. The value you get on this DVD is the best I've seen yet!
