Movie Reviews of Visions of Ireland
Movie Review: Erin from the Air
Summary: 2 Stars
Barely acceptable addition to this series with a distorted sense of geography. Several highlights ignored. Some pretty pictures, however. Select instead "Over Ireland" which is a five-star tour with excellent music and narration.Movie Review: Beautiful DVD.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a wonderful "armchair travel" visit to Ireland, this is one of best DVDs. It is an aerial view of Erin's Green Isle with beautiful filming of the countryside, from mountains and valleys to lakes, rivers, the awesome west coast with Cliffs of Moher (about 700-800 feet high!) and other wondrous sights. Small town life as well as city life are included. Having toured Ireland in early November 2007 I am especially smitten by this wide ranging filming of the diversity and incredible beauty of the country. A real treasure!Movie Review: Better than a visit to Ireland?
Summary: 5 Stars
This video, on one DVD, is similar in quality and subject matter to the several other excellent 'Visions of Europe' series of DVDs. The differences seem to be that the narrator talks more, and there are more street-level shots of quaint downtown areas and more ground level shots of the countryside. But it all works. This is a striking collection of views of Ireland, with appropriate music.
The narrator stresses the long-time "historical sadness" of Ireland, how it has boomed economically since peace has set in, and the beauty and varied history of Ireland. The video also shows a lot of new construction of buildings occurring in the larger cities.
The video has lots of views of picturesque small towns, farms and country homes, harbors, bays, rivers, old castles (some in good condition, some not), stone fences, stone monuments, stone huts, stone bridges, lighthouses, beaches, very rugged shortlines, very rugged islands, big cities and their wonderful old downtown streets, colleges, churches, cathdedrals, and ancient mounds and burial sites.
Altogether just as nice as a trip to Ireland, without the expense and trouble of a trip, and the likely chance of bad weather. My favorite scenes are: (1) Gardens at Mount Stewart (2) Sunbeams on the coast at Galway Bay (3) Island of Skelling Michael, and (4) Cliffs of Moher.
Movie Review: absolutely gorgeous video
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful and breathtaking video . Scenery was out of this world and I am extremely glad I bought it Movie Review: The Emerald Isle From On High
Summary: 5 Stars
Much like most of you out there I first became acquainted with the `Vision Series' of aerial travelogue features on PBS television. Whenever I came upon one while channel surfing I'd immediately put the remote down and sit back and relax. It wasn't long before I decided these programs were something I'd never tire of watching and needed to be added to my private DVD collection.
Released in '08, `Visions of Ireland' is the seventh high altitude tour in the series following `Visions of ... Greece / Italy / England / France / Germany and Scotland.' As with the previous journeys the audience is whisked away from the daily concerns of life on the ground to view Ireland in all its magnificent natural, rustic beauty. Add to the visuals a haunting Celtic laden soundtrack and narration you'll soon think you're really there! By the way, do you happen to know the way to the nearest pub?
