Flight 666 was filmed in stunning Hi-Definition, which really does justice to all of the awe-inspiring shots from around the globe, the concert stage, and from the Ed Force One cockpit. Many of the shots almost look like you are watching an IMAX film they look so good. The overall consistency was very impressive, considering that they had to film all of the concerts for this DVD.
Although the camera editing was a bit too choppy for my taste during the concert film, it was still much less frantic than most of the other Iron Maiden DVDs. Audio is provided in both DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround as well as PCM stereo and they are all winners.
Flight 666 is a required purchase for all Iron Maiden fans. Now excuse me while I go pull my foot out of my own ass for missing the tour last year. Up the Irons!

Great review, Paul. This is an essential purchase for all Maiden fans and it proves to me why they are the finest band in all of metal. Few bands in any genre can last this long and still produce top notch new material, like their last studio album, 2006's A Matter of Life and Death.

Thanks Triniman. It's great to see old dinosaurs like Maiden remain relevant after all these years.
