DVD Reviews of Globe Trekker: Canada
DVD Review: Enjoyable overview of Canada
Summary: 4 Stars
I had never seen any of the Globe Trekker programs before, but I found this one to be quite enjoyable. As is detailed in the product description above, this is actually two films combined on one DVD, one film being in eastern Canada, and one in western Canada. With a total 2-hour run time, you do get to see a good bit of Canada, and the guides of both films are easy-going and humorous. I liked too that both films were done in a "you are there" style, with a visible host showing us the extraordinary as well as the mundane aspects of the journey. Generally, I like that better than I do films having an invisible narrator reciting general data about what we are seeing.
However, I agree with another reviewer here that even at 2 hours this DVD feels a bit rushed, since it IS covering a huge amount of territory. As, when one of the guides goes through Montreal, you don't get much of a sense of that interesting city since he basically stays overnight there and goes through a mall, then on with his journey! So in addition to this DVD, you probably would also want to see more detailed films of the areas covered here. One mild objection I have is that on each program there are 1 or 2 segments that are quite offensive. In one segment, there is graphic filming of animals that have been killed to be eaten at a festival; in another, the guide cleans out horse stalls at a rodeo and makes crude jokes about it; and a few other instances. Of course, not everyone would be offended by these things, but still I felt like they were unnecessary and created moments of unease in the mixed company where I watched them.
But overall I found this DVD to be very enjoyable. You do get a general sense of various parts of Canada, and there's a lot of great scenery here too.
