Summary: 5 Stars
I bought several copiesof this DVD for my family as a gift for St. Particks's Day. I told them I was giving them a trip to Ireland. I have been there two times and this DVD is a trip to Ireland.Movie Review: Very well done and professional, but the subject is a wee bit lacking
Summary: 4 Stars
We were first "turned-on" to these videos when we started shopping for big screen TV's at the local box electronics stores. When we browsed the sets at BJ's Club, Circuit City and Best Buy we often found ourselves bombarded by twenty huge TV screens simultaneously playing scenes from various Mediterranean locales. We were so intrigued that we immediately bought Visions of Greece and Italy to watch on our new big screen TV. We loved them so much that we soon ordered the German travelogue. We loved that too. When Amazon suggested that I might be interested in their Visions of Ireland DVD. The price was right so we ordered.
The first five minutes of the Irish story were interesting with the sweeping vistas of lush green fields, ruined castles and rugged seaside coastline. But whereas the German, Italian and Greek DVD's continued to hold our interest throughout the 2 hours of footage, the wife and I grew bored with the Irish scenery. Sure it's beautiful there and there's a good deal of history but we felt that there was a certain dearth of anything that kept my attention. It's kind of like "once you've seen one field full of sheep, you've seen that all". When the wife fell asleep about 45 minutes into the story I switched to watching a hockey game instead. Yawnfest.
To be honest, we are NOT Irish and though we've visited there twice I wasn't all that intrigued by the place seeing Ireland in person. I suspect that one with Irish blood running through their veins might have a totally different view. I find Scandanavia fascinating and enthralling while most of my friends think it's boring.
The video itself is very well-made. Excellent photography, nice music and narration. The price isn't bad either. But I would recommend it only to Irish fans.
