3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre at Best..., June 18, 2005

This review is from: The Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed Mom, January 19, 2006

By 

Mom of Three (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence (DVD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence, June 7, 2000

This review is from: The Blue Angels, In Pursuit of Excellence [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A very entertaining blend of flying fast and behind the scenes footage. The adolescent character, who also narrates, brings the whole thing on a kid level making the show enjoyable for both kids and adults. The pilots and crew of the Blue Angles have a strong role model presence as well as demonstrating the pros of being in the Navy.
