| Seattle TimesSoren AndersenThe positivity that runs through "America's Musical Journey" is wedded to an underlying celebration of the country's diversity. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerMichael HeatonAmerica's Musical Journey is a trip the whole family will enjoy -- and the kids might accidentally learn something about history, geography and musical culture while they are having a good time. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanEven at 40 minutes, America’s Musical Journey could have taken us on an organic and inspiring musical adventure. But what’s odd about the movie is that instead of reveling in the jewels of our cultural past, it seems to be twisting itself in knots to avoid the past. |
| User ReviewShauna BI had a lot of fun with this one! Seeing it in IMAX really made me feel like I was flying over many cities I had only visited on foot, and I really really want to go to New Orleans now! It is by no means a full history of all music, but that would be way to dense for a 40 minute film that the whole family could enjoy. My 6 year old niece was dancing in her seat the whole time! It also really made me think about all of the international influences that make American culture such a unique melting pot. |
| User ReviewAlexa MIt's a disappointment if you're expecting a survey of America's musical history.The only two musicians dealt with in detail are Louis Armstrong and Aloe Blacc (the presenter) . Forget the blues, punk or reggae. Motown is reduced to a single sentence mention. Lets just skip the 60's and 70's. However, there is a complete rendition of an Aloe Blacc song compete with flash mob. Country is reduced to how Aloe Blacc would sound with a banjo or steel guitar. Legendary figures of the great genres of America music are completely ignored. The title is misleading. |
