Movie Reviews of Visions of Germany
Movie Review: Visions of Germany: Bavaria
Summary: 5 Stars
Fabulous! Lived and was stationed in Deutschland from 1986-1990 and the video and narration are spot on!Movie Review: interesting viewpoint (air) - helped me to decide where I wanted to go/see the ground perspective in my trip
Summary: 4 Stars
A beautiful perspective on this area, fascinating to see the inside courtyards and up close of towers of many castles and views of the Alps and the Rhine. I am going back to So. Germany this spring and bring my twenty-somethings. Now I am changing my travel plans to include a visit to the Rhine, and different castles than I had planned. (I am now only interested in the outside views of Ludwigs more famous castles-----I want to see the INSIDE of the places Kings actually lived) The truly old places look so fascinating, and close up aerial shots of many places are fascinating. My father in law (from Germany) would have loved this set if he were alive now. Great present for former German residents! Exquisite photography, photographed in wonderful light and perfect time of year (seems like most shots were taken in the Spring/early Summer) They sould put together a video of the little towns and such that are around the main attractions there ....I remember the villages near the castles to be wonderful. And also the residents of Germany to be gracious. I cannot wait to go back!Movie Review: A little disappointment compared with my other Visions DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a little bit disappointed when I watch these. It seems like Germany does not have as beautiful a scenary as that of France or Englnad. But I knew this is not true when I watched other travel DVD. Let's put it this way: When I watched the Visions of England, France, Scottland, I can feel the distinct difference in each country and their beauty and was grateful for the hellicoper views of those coutires. I had a hard time to even finish the first DVD. After viewing the first one, I lost interest to watch the second one.Movie Review: Not HD
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the DVD is wonderfully shot, it is NOT in High Definition, and because it is in widescreen, I presumed it was. Moral: never presume.Movie Review: disappointing: labels truncated
Summary: 2 Stars
Love the shows for the beautiful aerial shots and wonderful background music. However, the Germany Bavaria DVD has the location titles at lower left cut off, e.g., instead of seeing the label "Bodensee", only "ensee" appears, and so on, for all the town names and sights. It's not a problem with our TV: we cycled through every possible viewing format (wide, zoom, wide zoom, full, etc) and none would allow for the complete labels to appear. It seems that when the DVD was made, the picture aspect ratio was made too narrow; the package indicates it's 16:9 widescreen but it sure doesn't appear to be. If we had known this before ordering, we probably would not have bought it, as part of the enjoyment is knowing what you're seeing. We rated it 2 stars instead of 0 because of the beautiful photography but in our opinion, the disk is defective. We haven't watched the Rhine disk yet.
