4.0 out of 5 stars great show for darkened home theater, March 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Planetary Traveler (DVD)

Music and sound work well together. Surround sound effects of Dolby Digital very effective. Menu lets you play tour from start to end, plus jump to individual worlds to explore. Not a lot of events; more moody and makes you realize -- there are no people on these worlds. Interesting comments about production by those involved. Kids may find it boring - mine did. I enjoy sitting back and relaxing to watch. Nice change from linear story driven movies. Need more experiments like this on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wild Trip Film!, October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Planetary Traveler (DVD)

Planetary Traveler takes the viewer on a wild journey through an imaginatery solar system. Animation that is truly cutting edge and music by Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream) makes this show stupendous to watch and amazing to listen to. I also hear that the Director, Jan Nickman, has a new feature animation program hitting the market soon. Called Infinity's Child, it's the follow up to this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cooool Trip, July 3, 2000

This review is from: Planetary Traveler [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Just saw it. Back in 1997, with the available techonology, this was great. Compared to today's technology, it would only be rated OK. Much of the landscape did not appear realistic. But still, it was enjoyable and worth watching. There is a noteworthy spiritual and cosmic message, that infers that we are not alone, and moreove, neither is our Earth alone. The landscapes are imaginative and the whole episode well planned out. I would like to see a re-do of this film, using todays technology. Creates provocative thinking and a familiar "I know these worlds exist". Maybe even a "This looks familiar. I've been there" type of deja vu.

In any case, dim the lights, turn off all noise, set back on your easy chair, clear your mind completely, put yourself in an open frame of mind, then relax your entire being...Watch!
