(Craig Connell, 2009-02-20) This has to be the most unique "movies" I've ever owned.I got this back when it first came out on VHS. When viewed with special prism glasses (two came with the video), the television screen is transformed into a kaleidoscope....one colorful vision after another! I found that when you tilt your head, the TV image stands out even more and you get 3-D- like images in the background. All this is accompanied by psychedelic-type instrumental music, kind of mellow Jerry Garcia sounds and slower "trance music" of today. The problem I found was that after 10-20 minutes, that's enough. As colorful as it is, it gets routine after awhile. Of course, I never tried this under any influence of anything and perhaps that's the secret to staying with it longer. In my younger days, I probably would have loved this. In the last five minutes, the kaleidoscope images switched to just those of colorful balls. Wow, I wonder if this film was made for "stoners?" Ya think??
(Reak Kovacs, 2008-08-15) pretty awesome indeed. This is a great video to zone out to and everyone I've watched it with loves it. good times;-)
(Longfellow, 2005-05-10) The prism glasses extend the viewing range beyond the edges of the screen by casting a ghostlike mirror reflexion of what is on the outer edges of the frame. The effect is very impressive, though I'm not sure it's true 3D. Probably not, since the program can be viewed without the glasses with no image doubling or overlapping. Viewing it on a 100 inch screen with a ceiling mounted projector, I was simply blown away. With the prism glasses on, the image seemed to fill the entire wall and covered most of my peripheral vision. The colors were vibrant and the designs hypnotic. If I have a complaint, it's that the kaleidoscopic patterns grow repetitive after a while. I would have preferred more variety, like the amazing "atom/star" sequence near the end, about 49 minutes into the program. The "wow" factor is very strong. It's a great way to show off your home entertainment center and would look fantastic projected onto a wall at a party.
(Anonymous, 2004-12-14) i think its a very good movie to watch. it had me captivated
(Robert A. Borges, 2004-06-17) This DVD was wonderful and hypnotic to watch. I was surprised how good it was. But there was another surprise. the DVD comes with 'prism' glasses that can be used to view other psychedelic videos you may have. Such as:'Happy 2b Hardcore' by Moonshine/AVX. 'Transambient 1,2, and 3', also by Moonshine/AVX'Spaced Out' also by Moonshine/AVXThe other 3 DVD's are also sold by Amazon so check them out. It was fun to put these other DVD's on and watch them wearing the 'prism' glasses from Sydney's Psych Adventure and my own electronic music from my cd collection thumping away.Anyway, Get this DVD you wont be dissapointed.
