DVD Reviews of Globe Trekker: Hawaii
DVD Review: A poor man's guide to Hawaii
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a very amatourish film, reflecting very subjective, one-sided, politically motivated, ultra liberal views of its authors. Don't get me wrong, I respect and subscribe to some liberal views, but hey, don't try to present this as a travel guide, offering true information on Hawaii. or a balanced and objective impression of Hawaii.
First, it looks like it's been shot using a cheap non-professional video camera. second, it presents a badly distorted picture of this wonderful 50th state of the USA.
If this were your only guide to Hawaii, you would get an impression that it's a very poor, undeveloped place, reminiscent of the poorest third world countries. That there are only a few modern hotels, only in Waikiki Beach on Oahu, none on any other islands. That most local Hawaiians are poor farmers, practicing ancient farming ways like their ancestors, with no modern farming equipment of any kind. That Hawaiians consider themselves as non-Americans and claim that their land does not belong to America or Americans. That those few modern hotels in Hawaii are "very expensive, starting at $75 per night", as the guide stated, but thankfully you could get a part of a bunk bed for only $14 per night in a hostel. And that you could rent a junk car on Maui, which can also double as your lodging shelter at night. And the only fun you can get on your Hawaiian vacation is by hiking, surfing or kayaking. No mention of plentiful boat rides, sightseeing tours, helicopter and plane flights, parks, shows, restaurants or anything like that.
And they spend probably more time on showing gay marriage ceremonies on Oahu, than on the somberly beautiful Pearl Harbor Memorial.
Everybody has right to express his or her views and so do the liberals. but please, don't present it as an honest guide to Hawaii. Title it appropriately, like A Poor Man's Guide to Hawaii, or Hawaii Minus the Civilization, or something like that. But it's not Hawaii I know and love.
DVD Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought 2 dvds and 1 book just before we left for Hawaii. (Nov. 17-26, 2007). This video is VERY slow and does not show anything you can't see on-line. It shows still photos with a narrative. And...the photos are from the early 80s. There is no action here. You are better off buying something else. There are other dvds for less!DVD Review: Low quality DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD from Lonely Planet is interesting but look like VHS version, realy low quality of recordingDVD Review: Good choice
Summary: 4 Stars
Good source of Hawaiian history, culture, and heritage. An all around look at and understanding of the islands and the people native to them.DVD Review: Hippie's guide
Summary: 1 Stars
When I got this video I expected to see some points of interest, some history, some advice for a traveler. Well, there are some of these things in the video but they serve only as a background. This video is poorly put together political statements of a 20 something year old which has a quality of a high school project. She spends way too much time discussing politically sensitive issues such as gay marriage and the right of natives for their land, but with very little content useful for tourists or people interested in Hawaii's sites. This is definitely not a travel guide. Probably if you are a hippie you will appreciate that the only hotel reviewed in the video is a hostel with bunk beds and the featured rental car company is a junk car loaning place. Do not be misguided.
