Editorial Reviews

Popular worldwide, the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team, known as the "Blue Angels" awes air-show audiences with thrilling aerobatics and virtuoso flying. Expert pilots, drawn from the elite ranks of Naval Aviation, fly the Navy's F/A-18 Fighter, an aircraft that blends incredible power with precise and dynamic handling. The show is a rousing demonstration of disciple and skill. From the crisp drill of the pilots climbing aboard their planes, through the precision taxi and send-off by the ground team, everything is choreographed to thrill.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible. Just plain lousy., July 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Angels - Rolling in the Sky (DVD)

I love planes, documentaries, the Blue Angels, and with a DVD player and a home theater system, I was expecting at least to say, "wow, that was cool" to myself a couple of times. OK, maybe there were a couple of cool passes in mid-flight, but they got repeated about seventeen times, the synthesized music irritatingly makes you turn down the sound, and this is just about as cheesy as you can get. I might sell my copy if i can find anyone gullible enough, assuming i won't feel guilty about pawning it off on them...

1.0 out of 5 stars This is IT!?!, February 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Angels - Rolling in the Sky (DVD)

With a subject as exciting as the Blue Angels and a platform as rich as DVD, you would think it would be a sure winner. This is far from it. With only 50 minutes of play time you think it would be packed with action. Instead we see long crowd shots at airshows, the pilots DRIVING to the airfield, extensive on the ground footage of stationary F/A-18's. All of this isn't bad, it's just too long and drawn out. Except for occasional brilliant shots of the stunning Blue Angels in acrobatic flight, this DVD stalls by the halfway point. The music is second rate and indicative of the effort as a whole. Buy a book about the Blue Angels, it will be more thrilling.

This review is from: Blue Angels - Rolling in the Sky (DVD)

This "Rolling in the sky" 50 min. DVD shows the worldwide famous U.S. Navy flight demostration team, as you always wanted to. The footage is just great, so; you can enjoy some amazing shots of Blue Angels complete maneuvers, from different angles, several times. Zoom-in and zoom-out you'll watch jet rolls, loops and high speed air crossings, keeping their wing tips just a few feet apart. The entire DVD will be a "jewel" of your aviation collection, that's for sure. There's no narrative along the movie, only few live words of Team's leader officer, while all 6 pilots attend the briefing room, giving the movie a more realistic touch. I think music is a minor detail (that's why I gave just 4 stars), but; there's also some real fly-by jet noise, improving movie soundtrack. No doubt, this is the definitive Blue Angels flight demostration movie, showing no military or U.S. patriotic allegories, just the Blue Hornets flying high... Any aviation fan will enjoy this DVD, once and again.
