The Ultimate Space Experience description
This disc is an embarrassment to its manufacturers and an insult to anyone who buys it. The Ultimate Space Experience is a misnomer, to say the least, because this 48-minute disc consists of little more than official NASA videos spliced together in a manner that might courteously be described as haphazard. The image quality is no better than VHS, and in the absence of narration the disconnected footage of rocket launches, moonwalks, and shuttle maneuvers is virtually no different from anything that's been shown many times on global TV news broadcasts. To make matters worse, the entire program is accompanied by random sound bites and cheesy MIDI-composed electronic music, including the morbidly ominous use of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor over scenes of the ill-fated crew of the shuttle Challenger preparing for their disastrous final flight. (Whoever thought this was appropriate music for those images should be severely punished.) Additional features on this DVD are of minimal interest at best, but as one customer comment has noted (see below), the disc could possibly serve as a basic primer for young children. However, even this is a hesitant recommendation, as so many better videos and DVDs are available about the topic of space exploration. Consider this disc a last resort, and even then you may simply decide to use it as a table coaster for your beverage of choice. --Jeff Shannon |

A specatacular SOUND and VISUAL experience
|
| That is the slogan....which I can't say is a complete lie. It IS onlysound and videos. and really bad sound at that. The music stars to repeat after a few minutes.The picture on the DVD cover made me think it had new footage, but I think the newest video was the Challenger vigeo. They spent like 10 minutes showing a sattelite being released. It just spun around and around and around........The only thing is good for is to throw in the air and shoot, like an old record. At least it'll be put out of it's misery...and the misery it causes other people. |
