Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Blues Jayahar Stunning imagery captured of beautiful and iconic places, with an insightful experience into the history behind these locations through the interesting and captivating commentary. This program is great if you wish to view breathtaking scenery while simultaneously gaining knowledge about the history behind them.
wbaxter37 We must admit that the aerial photography is absolutely wonderful. The documentary contains long lasting, slow moving shots of landscape that give you enough time to soak in the sites. This is really much more satisfying that the quick cuts in current vogue. One could cavil at the locations that were skipped, but then it's impossible to get everything in.On the other hand, the voice over is nothing short of awful. True, we don't like travelogues much anyway, but this was about as bad as it can get. This is especially jarring in that the photography has actual content. The script is content free.If you also can't stand the script, you'd best watch with the sound off. Talk to each other and watch the scenery.
kennyggavin My family and I love to sit and learn about the History of our states. The visuals are incredible and it actually takes us 90 minutes to watch one episode cause I keep rewinding it to take in ALL the great footage!!!!...I have lived in Kentucky, Nevada, Oregon, California, Alabama, and Florida and this show is great to watch as a reminder of the history of the places I have lived. if only history and geography class in school was this interesting. It's a show that visually and verbally proves what a great beautiful landscape and history that this country has. Great show and we hope they have enough funding to complete all 50 states.
