Title: Beautiful, but totally dubious as documentary
Product review: I suppose most everyone will spot the bad taste that screams off the cover and choose to look past it if they are still curious. William Shatner's narration is adequate, I suppose, but the music, while technically accomplished would be more appropriate for fiction- some sort of awful action movie. The "documentary" consists of an obvious, superficial history with no intellectual or analytical distinction. Most bothersome is my suspicion that some of the footage has been colorized (black and white frames digitally duotoned, for instance) and accentuated (increased saturation, etc.). Make no mistake- the footage looks fabulous, and the film is an almost irresistable purchase. But don't expect it to tell you much, and don't trust its integrity.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
