I'd call the vids "informative" perhaps (they are!), but "spectacular" as used in the text is the wrong word here. Just about any mountain will appear "majestic" when "the topographic relief is exaggerated by a factor of two to three times"
The dark part at the start doesn't even look like Pluto (as we've come to know it from NH imagery) but some small asteroid because of this exaggerated bumpiness.

I'd like to see one where things are to scale
