Editorial Reviews

Review
Over California is an exhilarating journey above a landscape of contrast. Photographed entirely from the air over the course of a year, powerful high-altitude images reveal the special beauty and magic of the mountains, deserts, vineyards, coastline and cities that are the state of California. The intimate sense of place is enhanced by the original stereo soundtrack. --Channel9Store - PBS

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price., February 21, 2008
By slodaybreak (San Luis Obispo, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I managed to get my copy for $9.99. It was filmed in 1994. Apparently the recording is in 1080i although that means nothing to me because my flatscreen is 720p. It's encoded in MPEG-2 but they maxed out the bitrate and it looks pretty darn good. For the price, it's a really neat demo with the only con being the elevator music.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, January 21, 2009
By Kirby (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I have the Blu-ray Washington the Beautiful in High Definition and it is fantastic. So I was excited to purchase Over California. NO comparison! Over California was filmed in the early 90's, poor quality and very dated

4.0 out of 5 stars travellers delight, May 17, 2009
By Oz Traveller (Brisbane Qld Australia) - See all my reviews
I already own 'Over America' which is excellent but I needed a more comprehensive view of California. As I live in Australia and visits to the USA are few and far between these BR-DVD s allow us to view places that we have been to. Quality is excellent and there is a spoken commentary even though on is not listed on the box. We have learned a lot about California from watching this movie. LA and San Diego get good coverage and these are places that we have visited. Top marks for the Death Valley sequences. My only misgivings were the amount of early morning and late afternoon shots which although scenic made it hard to place yourself. I just wish it were longer.
