DVD Reviews of IMAX Presents - Straight Up: Helicopters in Action
DVD Review: haven't watched it myself
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought it as a gift for a 3 year old boy who is obsessed with helicopters. His mom told me he realy enjoys it and it is a good DVD.DVD Review: Great DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD delivered everything it promised. Great videography and narration. Excellent footage of a wide-range of uses for helicopters. Highly recommended to all helicopter fanatics!DVD Review: Excellent documentary with amazing footage
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent video that I would recommend to anyone interested in helicopters. The videography is amazing, and while the narration is written to be understood by children, it is interesting for adults too (unless maybe they are heli-pilots who already know everything). I particularly liked the segments on the high-power line inspections and the rhino relocation.
My wife is enamoured with the idea of helicopters, and I was happy to encourage her fascination. Hopefully I'll be able to get a license some day.
