Summary: Aesthetically Pleasing
Comment: This DVD will open your senses. Well, at least of sight and sound, though it will also invoke your sense of touch and smell, maybe even taste. The music is different from what one hears on the radio, that is for certain, but if one's mind is open, one will definitely feel the emotions of the compositions and improvised songs. The scenery is beautiful--it is all of different places in Iceland. And the talent of these people is outstanding. I purchased this DVD as a gift for my sister, who loves Sigur Ros, and she's completely enchanted by it.

Summary: Absolutely Phenomenal!!!
Comment: This DVD is absolutely amazing. The imagery is stunning and the music is beatiful and ethereal, extremely appropriate as you are watching the footage from concert feeds from widespread icelandic towns. Admittedly I was already a huge sugr ros fan beforehnad, but this is the most amazing documentary of a band that ever existed. I would recommend this as a gift to anyone, regardless of their musical preferences. The music is awe inspiring and the video footage is too amazing to not be seen by everyone!

Summary: Free Concerts? Only In Iceland.
Comment: Heima is a very unique look at a band that really has captivated the hearts of people across the world.
You'll see sigur ros touring all over Iceland (Heima=Home) putting on free concerts for the wonderful Icelandic people. Along the way, you'll learn a great deal about the culture, and history of this exotic nation.
As of this review, it's the #2 rated document on IMDB.com, and no doubt one of the best films I've ever seen. And not to be left out, the cinematography of the landscape and people in Heima is breathtaking. A blu-ray release would enhance it more. Even if you've never heard of the band, you will absolutely enjoy this.

Summary: Extraordinary feast for the eyes and ears
Comment: The extraordinary, soaring beauty of "Heima" is beyond compare to almost anything I've seen or heard on the screen. The makers of this film have crafted a near-perfect document of sound and vision. Produced with just enough studio and cutting-room floor trickery, "Heima" showcases the Icelandic homeland with a singular reverence for its awesome natural majesty while presenting the musicians as humble subjects of the people for whom they perform. It is a moving, emotional film that I guarantee will transport you to a higher plane.

Summary: thoughts of a sigur ros fan
Comment: Essentially this video captures a lot of what goes through the hearts and minds of the band members who comprise Sigur Ros. You tour different regions, landscapes, towns, and facets of Icelandic culture as the band speaks to you. At every stop and in between these moments where the bandmembers share their thoughts the band plays a set and you get to experience some of the songs from these sets.
Pretty much a must for a fan and a good recommendation for some of the artistically minded individuals for a watch.
