DVD Reviews of Extreme Engineering: Collection 1
DVD Review: If you like engineering, this is a TERRIBLE set.
Summary: 1 Stars
The set starts out OK, like with Boston's Big Dig. But even this episode (like all the episodes) is nearly ruined by the soundtrack (incredibly loud and distracting) and hyper-manic editing (which I'm sure causes brain cancer).
But with each successive episode the set degenerates into almost NO engineering! It's true! The screen time instead is taken over by PEOPLE and their petty problems or nonsense. For example, in Venice Flood Gates, they have some worker sing us a song. Huh? Huh? I did not buy the set to listen to Italians sing (badly). I purchased it for, ah, ENGINEERING. By way of contrast, there is another show out there on the Venice flood gates, and the difference is astounding. The latter minutely details the engineering behind the project, and with incredible graphics. Instead, this idiotic show has singing and long, pointless scenes (like a worker driving to the job!).
The producers apparently thought that incredible engineering projects were not enough to engage the viewer. So the whole set is jazzed up like an MTV special, and soap operas replace engineering.
This set should be titled: THE TRIVIAL STORIES OF THE PEOPLE...who build big things.
