Little Ado About Something,
By Mark Haign (Bay Area, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marvelous Machines Military SR71/B1B (DVD)
I've read two or three books about the SR-71 and YF-12 that describe their unique and innovative design and construction. To me, like Seymour Cray's original supercomputers, the SR-71 reflects pure design and engineering genius.
I've seen an SR-71 flying low and _slow_, and I've heard the roar of its engines being tested on the desert flats. These amazingly sleek and compact planes are as fast as they look. Thus with this background, I watched the SR-71 segment but found the narration repetitive and uninformative. There's dead air, dark images of the Blackbird in darkness, duplicate scenes, and no drama or insight. Given that the SR-71 is a majestic and impressive feat of engineering, this DVD represents a lost opportunity and, unfortunately, a waste of time. |
