The Voyager Odyssey: An Interplanetary Music Video Experience description
This 44-minute documentary chronicles the amazing interplanetary journeys of the two Voyager probes that explored the outer planets of our solar system. The film, sans narration, is a collection of images--a mixture of computer animation and actual photographs--set to classical music. The film was made in 1990 right after Voyager 2's final encounters with Neptune, and the computer animation is dated. Superimposed titles are used to relay information and catalog the images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their moons. As a scientific study, the film doesn't come close to the various Nova and Discovery Channel documentaries on the subject. However, as a stellar travelogue, the movie works quite well as copious images float in and out of frame. The accompanying classical music--inspired by Kubrick's selections for 2001--should be cranked up. The final product can easily play in the background of a party as a new type of "video art." --Doug Thomas |

Video a fun tribute to the Voyager mission
|
| I have owned the VHS version of this for over a decade and never tire of watching it. Yes, its a bit dated on the graphics, but the emotions it produces are timeless. This is not some dry documentary. Rather, the viewer is provided with an imaginary seat on the Voyagers as they pass by the four outer planets. You see these worlds as Voyager saw them. You feel the excitement of the discoveries as they are made, and you are told about their significance with subtitles. No human voices here -- that would only detract from the effect. While all of this is going on, a set of fantastic classical music selections plays in the background. Each planet has its own piece, chosen to elicit a specific emotion from the viewer. The selections are awesome and should be cranked up to be enjoyed to their fullest. In the end, you can't help but nod your head that this truly was an epic voyage of discovery. If you are looking for mere facts, then you would do better to read an encyclopedia article. If you want to experience the awe of the encounters in a truly unique way, this production is for you. I can't recommend it enough. |
