DVD Reviews of Threshold the Blue Angels Experience DVD

DVD Review: one of the greatest flying videos ever
Summary: 5 Stars

i was flight instructing in the 70's when i first saw a 16mm print of this movie at one of our periodic hangar parties. i was hooked. i bought a vhs copy as soon as it became available in the early 80's and virtually wore it out over the years. it finally became unplayable and i could not find another one. i had searched for a possible dvd copy for a few years and now it's here.

regarding harley hall, i was at the air show in cleveland a couple of weeks ago. as my wife and i got off the hotel van and approached the front gate at burke lakefront airport, i saw 2 f-4's guarding the entrance, one painted in thunderbird colors and one in the blues. i started telling my wife the story of "threshold" and how blue angel number 1, harley hall, returned to the fleet after the movie was shot and became one of the last naval aviators shot down and lost forever in the vietnam war. as i got closer to the blue angel sentry overlooking the gate i glanced up and saw harley hall's name under the canopy. i am 55 years old now, have been a major airline pilot for over 30 years--and was overcome with emotion i haven't felt in years. the thunderbirds, the blues, harley hall, and the rest of the men and women watching over us are the best of what we are as americans. may god bless them all.

DVD Review: Threshold the Blue Angles Experience DVD
Summary: 3 Stars

Just received this DVD from ThresholdBlu.....com, is there no menu on this DVD?
I put it in player and it just started playing. I understand it is from an older VHS version. Picture quality is only average but the narration is great.

DVD Review: Good DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Very glad to see that Threshold has been transferred to DVD. Enjoyed it thoroughly after all these years. This is a wonderful DVD for those in the Blue Angels and their training.

DVD Review: On DVD at last!
Summary: 5 Stars

This was my favorite aviation documentary for decades, kept my full length VHS pristine since I bought it all those years ago. Ordered this as soon as I saw it was available, I'm anxiously waiting for the DVD to arrive. Only question I have, at one point in Amazon's description it says this is Region Free, and elsewhere it says Region 1. Which is right?

It might finally have been surpassed, check out Speed and Angels, also available from Amazon: Speed and Angels (w/game). Still, if you love aviation and/or the Blue Angels, you Really MUST get this!

UPDATE: this movie is as good as I remember. However, there has been no remastering done. I's the straight movie, no special fetures, not even chapters. The video quality is about what you'd expect from a decent VHS tape. Probably the people who made it possible to be on DVD knew that it would not be a giant seller and worked with the budget they had. Still, this movie is DEFINITELY worth the money! If you like the Blue Angels you Need to get this while it's available.

Amazon no longer sells this directly, but one of the sellers they list is actually the producer of the DVD itself, and appears to be a relative of the person who originally made the documentary. Highly Recommended!

DVD Review: AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars

I watched this video over and over on VHS when I was young, but I had not seen the movie in years, I got my copy in the mail yesterday, and I've watched it twice already. Simply perfect! Tons of awesome flying, great narration, and while the soundtrack is straight out of the 70's, I enjoyed the music. Like one of the other reviewers said, it doesn't get much better then watching the Blue Angels flying F-4's.

Added note: The Boss (Blue Angel 1) Harley Hall was shot down over Vietnam after he left the Blue Angels, and ended up being the one of the last pilots to be shot down in that conflict. More information is here: [...]
