Summary: Outstanding !!! I recomend this. 5 Stars
Review: Graphics were great!! There were (I believe) 11 tracks, and each track was different in theme, which added spice to the DVD. The entire musical theme was done in a rock musical format, with several tracks (2 or 3) actually had singing in it by Kerry Livgren (who was a member of the group: Kansas). I felt that the music went extremely well with the graphics!! It was very upbeat, not radical or harsh in any way, and there was very little singing in it - just music that helps sweep you away with the beautiful graphics. If you dont like Rock, you may not like this DVD, but I still recomend giving it a try. Some tracks featured spacey worlds, one had dinosaurs, spaceships, underwater scene with a dolphin being chased by a sea monster, tropical islands, robots, and just far out computer animation! Highly recomended - I'd say that this is the best Computer Graphics DVD I've purchased (out of 6 so far).

Summary: Just upgraded to the DVD ver!!
Review: I bought the VHS version a while ago, and with the purchase of a DVD player this one was a definate must! (especially when VCR is only mono on a Prologic capable receiver ;) My only disapointment in the DVD ver is that there were no on screen menus, and no 'index sheet' included that tells you where the indexes are (but I got a snappy so I can capture the images and make my own index sheet) I also noticed a couple minor details that change from dvd and vhs versions. Like the female voice on one of them isn't as loud on dvd as it was on vhs, and 'SMV' logo differs, and there are no "previews" for other movies that are out (one difference I have noticed and liked on all DVD's so far :), like I said nothing major. BTW, I actually rode on the 'lava car' IWerks turboride when on spring break in smokey mountains, was really cool. you actually saw two movies for the 1 price, this was the 2nd one and people were coming out saying they liked this one over the first one (indy race car one) Can't wait till next one comes out.

Summary: Best of the bunch
Review: I have most all of the CG animations. Beyond and Gate are good as well but this one has the most moving graphics with the best sounds. Very, very cool. If you like this kind of thing at all, Into The Minds Eye is a definite MUST HAVE !!!!

Summary: Very Good
Review: I think this dvd is much more agressive visually than Beyond the minds eye. Faster edits and music that moves your blood faster. Newer 3d visuals in this edition make you want a better tv. Hint.. buy a new TV. :-D

Summary: Subtract 2 stars for LOUSY music.
Review: I've always dug computer animation, and I love the "Mind's Eye" series, but this particular installment is seriously hampered by the choice of Kerry Livgren (of the prog-rock outfit Kansas) to supply the music score. Musicians previously featured in the "Mind's Eye" series, such as Thomas Dolby and Jan Hammer, were appropriate choices. Livgren is not. I suppose I liked the band Kansas back in the mid 1970s when I was in high school, but today I wonder, "What was I thinking???" Such music is hopelessly incongruous for cutting-edge computer animation showcase ... and toward the end when Livgren actually starts SINGING is when I REALLY started to cringe. The eye candy here is just as enjoyable as always; but if you buy this, make sure you turn down the sound and listen to a nice techno or trance CD instead.

Summary: Worst of the bunch
Review: I've been a fan of the minds eye videos since the beginning, but this one is a huge dissapointment. There's nothing on here that is very impressive, the music is bad and the DVD production is horrible. The minds eye series used to be cutting edge computer graphics, but this one seem to be amature computer graphics produced by amatures.

Summary: Great animation, fantastic soundtrack
Review: If you enjoyed The Mind's Eye series (Mind's Eye, Beyond, and Gate)you'll enjoy this one. More great computer animation and a fantastic soundtrack from artists Mike Oldfield and Kerry Livgren (former guitarist of rock group Kansas). No extras, I would liked to have had an onscreen menu with a index of the animation sequences. But, other than that the quality is very good.

Summary: An extremely organized anime!
Review: Into the minds eye lets you take a look at a whole new perspective of computer Animation. With Vivid and Breathtaking sights and wonderful music, I would reccommend this Title To Everyone!
