1.0 out of 5 stars I was expecting something more , January 19, 2009

By	Ricardo Alves "Ricardo Alves" (Lisbon, Lisbon Portugal) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a a huge fan of Syd Mead, and I've bought Visual Futurist and I love it.
When I saw this DVD I thought it had more new work to see, but I was really sad to see that this DVD was only like 10 min long, and after I bought it...
It's up two you but I don't think it is worthy...

Thanks

4.0 out of 5 stars 2019: A future imagined, May 14, 2009

By	CRAIG FORD (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have the "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" DVDs, "2019: A Future Imagined" is a short commentary by the visual futurist (who established the visual direction Ridley Scott went with) on that 1982 movie and the world we live in today. Its a short film, not a feature length production, but it provides an additional point of view that any fan of Blade Runner or Syd Mead would enjoy. And as such a fan I recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars 2019: Future Imagined, January 18, 2009

By	Dwight Morris (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is absolutely one of the worst items I've ever purchased. I would give a value of $2.00. The title should be something like "8 Minute Rambling on Artist." The title might lead one to "hope" for some insight into what "more" this artist envisions rather than just comment on old stuff and show him drawing. This was very disappointing and is the epitomy of "leaving one hanging." The video is obviously a strict money generator rather than an opportunity to lead the viewer in dreaming and creating.
