Movie Review: The past, present, and future story of civilization
Summary: 5 Stars
This video, while famous for its compilation of then ground-breaking CGI, is really most interesting for the story that it tells. The sequence of the segments ambitiously chronicles the the formation of Earth ("Creation"), the rise of human civilizations ("Civilization Rising"), the technological advances of humanity from the advent of agriculture to the future exploration of the cosmos. The video speculatively concluded with a segment of what might be the next sentient species to arise on Earth (birds?).
It is visually stunning and James Reynolds's soundtrack is perfectly crafted to evoke a sense of wonder, awe, and contemplation. I never tire of watching this jewel.
Movie Review: reply, where did they go?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the video that got me hooked on computer animation years ago. It was released in two versions, 1 in general video stores released by BMG video and another in Radio Shack stores, they are about 70% the same but the rest is very different. Some clips share the music and titles but the images were totally different. The R.S. version was custom made for them, and yes 8th track (the temple) was replaced with (Q factor) (Tingri) (The way I feel). Yes 3 for 1! The seperate music CD features the original 8 tracks by James Renolds. By the way - the next 2 videos in the series also had sepererate R. S. versions, although not as drastic a difference as this first one.Movie Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this video perhaps 25 or 30 times since purchasing it a few years ago, and smile again each time it plays. It is an energy treat for the eyes and the ears. The music by James Reynolds is, in my opinion, absolutely wonderful. It's rich and dynamic and evocative, and beautifully timed with the visuals. (I say this as someone who is deeply into many music genres.) Although the graphics come from a decade ago, this in no way detracts from their timeless complexity and sophistication. Jan Nickman did a fantastic job weaving all of these images from many animators into a theme centering on evolution of life on earth.
I've shown and loaned this video to many people, and it has never failed to put hearty smiles on faces. It is a life-affirming event to experience this video. :-)
Movie Review: The Mind's Eye - the perfect addition to your favorite album
Summary: 5 Stars
I have viewed this video and the first thing that i did was turn the volume off on the television and turn up my stereo. I personally enjoy viewing this movie while listening to Pink Floyd/Wish You Were Here (start the beginning of the movie at the same time as the album) and Phish/The Siket Disk (start the album as the words Miramar slide across the screen) never again will I sit and listen to my favorite album, but now I will accompany it with a wonderful viewing experience. The only bad thing that i can think about the movie is that the original music is horrible, please take my advise and take the audio into your own hands. I am sure any of your own albums will create the adventure that this video holds.Movie Review: One of the best ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is truly excellent! I only wish I could find it on DVD. I cannot tell you how many times I have fallen into blissful sleep while watching this show. It is a dream. Also great are Beyond the Mind's Eye and Odyssey into the Mind's Eye (different co.)
