Dream Big Engineering Our World 3D Blu Ray 2017

Today, the work of engineers is more relevant than ever, and now plays an even more important role for humanity, being reflected in culture and thinking, thanks to which the new generation is achieving tremendous success. It is young professionals who create the world of the future - the world of their dreams. The film will tell the viewer how engineers can change not only everyday life, but entire societies: from the Roman Arches to the Great Wall of China, from the vital bridge connecting the villages of Haiti to the ISS, from amphibious robots to breathtaking roller coasters, skyscrapers and pneumatic tunnels, transport in which one day it will be able to move at a speed of 1200 km / h in the documentary Dream Big Engineering Our World  3d blu ray.

The 8/10 review by Jollen has a comprehensive review of the programme and I recommend reading this too.

I have though rated this 6 based on the information (4) and the scenery (2). The programme is 42 minutes long but doesn't actually start until 5 minutes in. Jeff Bridges is not a great narrator, his voice isn't overly clear and I had to listen intently.

All the segments are led by female engineers, which must have been the intention. This aside, there is some interesting information and encouragement to become an engineer, the latter again no doubt the reason for the programme. I did find the programme engaging overall.

The less positive: The second segment, which is based in Africa, has an African style song. This song is used in each successive segment and no longer fits with the style of what we are being shown. Some of the segments should be longer or should not be included at all. We are shown the Great Wall of China but more time is given to what it looks like than to how it was made or remains standing. The last segment is on a new San Fransisco transport hub, saying it is going to be greener and more efficient, but no further detail is given. There is a lot of time wasted on unnecessary scenic views (based on the programme's intent) and unnecessary graphics.
