Real good for 45 minutes. I would show to school history class

Every scene is so beautifully shot, hence with as much production value as is evident in this little film, it seems a shame not to have a more dramatic focus to hold it into a tighter focus. In terms of quality, it simpy cannot be faulted. It is absolutely beautiful! Every shot is a Rembrandt. Like a Rembrandt, it is to be viewed and savored for it's visual mastery. It does however leave you longing for a more intimate storytelling. I'd love to know what the budget was on this lovely effort. It reminds me of things I've seen produced for IMAX. Visually astounding yet wanting for more intimacy. It makes me want to shoot a central protagonist line and edit it into the fantastic cinematography. I thouroughly expect to view it many times.

I like the scenery but come on the history of the west in 40 minutes. I like what I saw I just wanted to see more.

I did like this but would like it better if it was not so "feel good". Very nice photography, portrayals, and landscapes.

Brief and incomplete. The subject would have been been better served by a series.

way too short, but nice job. what can you do with almost a hundred years in 40 minutes?!

You cannot encompass the entire history of the west in a 40 minute show. No, it didn't address blacks. Perhaps another edition would? Something about buffalo soldiers?It didn't discuss Mormons killing native Americans, Americans killing Mormons or, for that matter, Mormons killing Mormons. I watched this on my new iMac and LOVED it anyway.
