Disappointing

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Disc 1: 54 min. The video quality is mostly good but does have some color imbalances. There are some great shots of little seen areas from the air that makes this an unusual and interesting video in spots. But the photographer likes to shot down way too often from a low, fast moving helicopter for blurred, dizzying shots. 16 minutes are of towns. But the camera shows mostly streets rather than buildings. There are also a number of close shots on the ground of people engaged in various outdoor activities. Often only the people are shown excluding any background.
Disc 2: Over America, bonus disc. 79 min. The video quality and photography is much better. There are a lot of city shots, but unlike disc 1, buildings are shown, rather than streets.
The narration on both discs are best muted. Little information is given and it sounds like very sappy poetry written by the Chamber of Commerce. All information on locations are in subtitles."
