2.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I expected, January 26, 2007
This review is from: Canyonlands: A Southwest Desert Odyssey (DVD)
I was hoping for something that would give me some info on these places. Instead it is just video (a lot of time lapse photography), some of which is pretty cool, with music playing in the background. There is no narration - you have to figure out on your own the location being shown. So if what you are after is something that is relaxing and beautiful to look at then you might find this enjoyable. If you are looking for something that is more informative, look elsewhere.

Relax ... let your spirit soar ..., December 6, 2007
This review is from: Canyonlands: A Southwest Desert Odyssey (DVD)
This is NOT a narrated travelog. But if you've had a bad day at work, pour yourself a glass of wine, settle into a comfortable chair, turn down all the lights, take a few deep breaths and play this video. If, at the end of the video, you are still tense or depressed, you MAY need professional help. This is probably the most beautiful, relaxing experience you can have while watching a television.

A trek through space and time......, April 4, 2008
This review is from: Canyonlands: A Southwest Desert Odyssey (DVD)
If you love nature, you will love Canyonlands: A Southwest Desert Odyssey. Don't expect any narration, because there is none. When I first watched this film (I've seen it several times), I anticipated a Patrick Stewart or Alec Baldwin voice-over somewhere along the way, but alas it never happened. And I'm all the more grateful.
The only thing you will find in this spectacular odyssey through the American Southwest is an abundance of awe-inspiring and utterly wondrous scenery. The manner in which the desert world is captured in this film is mesmerizing, and there is a non-terrestrial quality to many of the scenes throughout the film's journey.
The images are so beautiful at times I found myself doubtful that these places were actually a part of our planet. I was thoroughly impressed with the way in which many of the scenes were processed on film and for anyone interested in time-lapse imagery, this is your chance to see this process in action in some of the most beautiful places on earth.
Have you had a bad day at work? Is your life in the dumps? Girlfriend/boyfriend-Wife/husband left for good this time? Has your cat just ran away? Is the world closing in around you? If so, put this dvd in your vcr and lose yourself in the beauty, majesty, and serenity of our natural world....
