Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The Majestic Journeys DVD is a soothing excursion through natural landscapes, with scene-appropriate music. Each section looks at a different part of our physical world. "Edge of the Horizon" takes you to the deserts of the Namib (with New Age tones), the greenery of Ayuthaya, Thailand (with Asian- influenced music), the crash of the surf on the Cape of Good Hope, on a felucca ride up the Nile, and on a camel journey across the Douz. You'll also visit Mongolia; Camargue, France; the Canary Islands; Aheme Lake, Benin; Etosha, Namibia; Koh Samui, Thailand; Garden Road, South Africa; Cassis, France; and River Fish Canyon, Namibia.
"Peaks of the Heavens" explores the top of the world high upon mountain peaks, just beneath the clouds. Visit the white-topped peaks of Mont-Blanc in France; the lakes surrounding the towering crests of the Lofoten Islands in Norway; and the colorful cliffside homes of Santorini, Greece. You'll also see the Canary Islands; Dachstein, Austria; Geiranger Fjord, Norway; Table Mountain, South Africa; Koenigsee, Germany; Chilcat, Alaska; Meteores, Greece; Pyrenees, France; Bricksdal, Norway; Vanoise National Park, France; Dolomiti, Italy; Alps, Switzerland; and Atlas, Morrocco.
"Cascading Waterways" travels down the waterways of luxuriant rivers, ocean waves, flowing waterfalls, and streaming rivers, soothing away your stress. Shoot along the rapids in Vetifossen, Norway. Stand beneath the waterfall in Herisson, France. Splash amidst the snow in Hardangervidda, Norway. Relax in the hot springs of Krisuvik, Iceland. You'll also journey to Krimml, Austria; Trolltindane, Norway; Ouzoud, Morocco; Eastern Transvaal, South Africa; Songnefjord, Norway; Gullfoss, Iceland; Pays de Loire, France; Tanougou, Benin; Berg Mountain Range, South Africa; and Geiranger Fjord, Norway. This nonnarrative relaxation-inducing DVD will inspire feelings of calm and appreciation for the splendors of far-off lands with its lush photography and gentle sounds. --Jenny Brown

Majestic Journeys.......2006-09-11
Relaxation and mediative.......2005-05-12
Very Boring.......2003-01-29
1) The music is of poor quality. Instead of finding a professional orchestra or other talented musical group, they have seemingly gone on the cheap. It is not inspirational or dramatic by any means.
2) The scenary is unrecognizable from anywhere else on earth. One could not possibly learn anything from it, and you do not feel you are "on a visit". You may be looking at the fields of Italy, but that's just it, it looks a lot like the fields of Wisconsin. They failed to shoot the amazing and beautiful parts of the areas they filmed, instead opting for scenes more suitable for a comotose filled evening.
If you are looking for something interesting to watch or something showcasing the beauties of earth in music and visual presentation, this is not it.
I do not recommend this product.
