Exceptional!, July 4 2009

This review is from: Extreme Engineering V1 Collect (DVD)
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. This is a great purchase for the price. It is inexpensive, current, and amazingly interesting. I bought it mostly to watch with my two sons, ages 9 and 7, and they never tire of watching it. The subjects are fascinating. The set has 2 DVDs and each has four episodes. Alot of viewing for a low price.A great item for an educational tool for the whole family.

purchased this dvd for my husband for xmas. He has already watched the whole dvd and thoroughly enjoyed it and will watch it over and over as he says you pick up things you didnt notice the first and second time. I myself watched a few of the episodes and they were fascinating.

If you like engineering, this is a TERRIBLE set., Mar 13 2011

This review is from: Extreme Engineering V1 Collect (DVD)
The set starts out OK, like with Boston's Big Dig. But even this episode (like all the episodes) is nearly ruined by the soundtrack (incredibly loud and distracting) and hyper-manic editing (which I'm sure causes brain cancer).But with each successive episode the set degenerates into almost NO engineering! It's true! The screen time instead is taken over by PEOPLE and their petty problems or nonsense. For example, in Venice Flood Gates, they have some worker sing us a song. Huh? Huh? I did not buy the set to listen to Italians sing (badly). I purchased it for, ah, ENGINEERING. By way of contrast, there is another show out there on the Venice flood gates, and the difference is astounding. The latter minutely details the engineering behind the project, and with incredible graphics. Instead, this idiotic show has singing and long, pointless scenes (like a worker driving to the job!).
The producers apparently thought that incredible engineering projects were not enough to engage the viewer. So the whole set is jazzed up like an MTV special, and soap operas replace engineering.
This set should be titled: THE TRIVIAL STORIES OF THE PEOPLE...who build big things.
Listmania!
