DVD Reviews of The Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence
DVD Review: We love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We gave this to our son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! DVD Review: Disappointed Mom
Summary: 1 Stars
My son LOVES airplanes and jets! I bought this DVD based on the rave reviews of people with young children loving this video. If you want a DVD that shows airplanes/jets flying, DO NOT BUY THIS DVD! The name of the video should be, "Watch the Blue Angles Get Ready to Fly," because that is what this video is. In the first 20 minutes there are short scenes of the jets flying. Then the next 25 minutes is NO FLYING just talking and showing the Blue Angles getting ready for their show. In the last 8 minutes you get to see part of an air show. My son has never made it to that point. He wants to see airplanes/jets fly and I'm now on a new search for a DVD that will do this for him.DVD Review: Blue Angels, In pursuit of excellence
Summary: 4 Stars
My 3 year old boy loves this DVD. He would watch it over and over and now claims that he wants to be a pilot. I think that this DVD goes over detail that I thought wouldn't impress a 3 year old but he often repeats their simulations & commands. I think it's a great DVD and I got one for my 2 year old God-son who is in love with it as well. The only possible bad point is that my kid & God-son want to keep watching it over and over. As a parent one might not be too happy w/ their kids watching too much of one thing or too much TV period.
DVD Review: Mediocre at Best...
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess I should have realized by some of the other reviews that this DVD would be geared toward a younger audience (and by younger I mean 10 or under), but I thought I would be getting more footage of aerial maneuveurs than this DVD provided. The cinematography is on par with that of a slightly above-average TV show documentary.
"Documentary" would be an an accurate word to describe this DVD - it is much more about the preparation and work it takes to put on a Blue Angels air show than it is about the Blue Angels aerial acrobatics. So if you're like me and looking an expertly filmed documentary of what a Blue Angels air show looks like, look elsewhere.
DVD Review: Entertainment & Excitement
Summary: 4 Stars
My son (almost 4) is crazy about airplanes so I purchased this DVD based on the other reviews already written for this DVD. I thought it could possibly be a little above what he could conceptually understand as it was a more "behind the scenes" type show and didn't have a lot of actual display flying in it but I was wrong. My son has been glued to this DVD every evening for a week!
To be honest, I didn't know a lot about the Blue Angels myself but the first time I watched the DVD, I have to admit that even I was glued to it. The DVD tells you a lot of interesting facts about the Blue Angels that I don't normally think you would know just by going to see them at an airshow. For e.g. what certain hand signals mean, what jobs the ground crew have etc. I thought the video quality was excellent and the behind the scenes information wonderfully informative.
The only disappointment I felt was that there was not enough video footage shown of the Blue Angels flying taken at an actual airshow. There is only about 10 minutes flying at the end of the video and a little display half way through the video when one of the Blue Angels is taking a member of the press up for a quick flight.
Otherwise, I think this would be a great video for any kids who are interested in flight or anyone who wants to know more about the Blue Angels.
