4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Train Video, August 29, 2005

This review is from: Luxury Trains of the World: The Venice Simplon Orient Express (DVD)

This one was done right. This series is a bit inconsistent (the polar express is really bland) and others are good but the production was a bit hasty and seemed not so well planned.

However this London to Venice video was very well done. The scenery was solid. The train interior and the shots of the cities travelled to were good. And the clips of Venice were overwhelmingly beautiful, a few were better than I'd even seen in non-train films. This one is a must have for train buffs.

Because people don't know of this series, it gets short shrift. The competitor "Travel The World By Train" series is way more consistent and better organized on average, but the price of the other series is way, way higher. In this series, even if one gets an average or not-so-hot one, it's only a few bucks. The other series is prohibitively expensive and sometimes not always available.

This video was one of the best values in train-oriented multimedia I've yet encountered.

Fantastic camera shots and narration; it certainly makes you want to take this trip! Clearly shows how trains are truly the best and most relaxing way to travel.

1998. All that you could ask for in a program of this type. We are quickly drawn in and can soon imagine we are actually one of the passengers. The trip is very scenic and the photography, often quite artistic, is excellent. The narration is highly informative and even the musical score contributes to the mood. The closing quick tour of Venice, beautifully filmed, reminds us of the 1950s Heburn film "Summertime." This one surely cannot disappoint even the most discriminating collector of train travel documentaries.
