Summary: Dreaming Arizona HD-DVD
Comment: This was much more of a homemade video than I expected, although the scenery was great, with a high def camera and a fast computer, I could have done the same thing. If you don't live in the state, and want to see it from a perspective that is very realistic to what you would see yourself if you were to drive through these same areas, this will not disappoint you. The video has some scenes where you are flying as well. I may be a bit critical of this video because I live in the state, my current job has me driving all over Arizona, and I also happen to be a pilot, so I get to experience all the beauty quite frequently, so take it as you may... The audio seemed to be just an afterthought to fill in for the video. I would have much rather chose to hear some commentary from state historians and locals about facts and interests of the areas they were showing. In conclusion, if you are from out of state and have a HD-DVD player, the price is right; I don't think you will be disappointed. On the other hand if you have lived in Arizona for awhile and you are looking to learn about the state as opposed to just seeing images of it, save your money.

Summary: HD DVD moyen
Comment: Les couleurs ne sont pas toujours naturelles ( trop rouge par rapport à la réalité ) et la vidéo est trop courte ( 20 minutes )!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great
Comment: Nice for the scenery & price just wish it were longer w/ environment sounds as well.

Summary: Just OK
Comment: This work is just OK. Very sub-par when you consider Blue Planet or Planet Earth sets. It's a shame that the production company used a Cessna instead of a helicopter( you can see the plane's outline in many shots). The "fly-over"'s were just way to quick. The music is just terrible for it . Granted; you can choose Native American music which certainly adds to the feel of the landscapes but the Orchestral score is nothing stellar. Either music set you choose; niether is perfectly matched. Bottom line is; the views and contnet are just ok which certainly befits the lower price tag. I can't help but feel like there should have been more and better content.

Summary: Do not purchase - I returned
Comment: I have been to Arizona, Lake Powell and Zion several times and I was really looking forward to seeing this HD-DVD. Boy was I disappointed. I agree with several other reviewers that the color was bad, editing was bad. This was not a true HD-DVD. It was definitely an attempt to show a normal DVD in HD format. The pictures were grainy the scene cuts were too quick.

I never return a video and know I would only get a partial refund since I opened it, I still returned it anyway. I will stick to my home movies of Arizona instead. Save the moeny.
