A different view on current affairs & history
Summation: Mediocre uninspiring production
Rating: 2 out of 5
Compared with a BBC Natural History production this is a damp squib, a colourless uninspiring copy. Even the 3D effects appear to be bland.
Do not waste your money on this Blu-ray. Rather purchase Africa by the BBC to view how natural history documentaries should be made.
Summation: A thoroughly enjoyable surreal fantasy
Rating: 5 out of 5
This video does not contain a plot as such which comprises a series of exuberant & dare-devilish stunts by the well-known Cirque du Soleil. There is a connecting theme, a forlorn maiden in search of her true love. This provides the continuity.
Being a movie instead of a live performance, it has allowed the creators the luxury of lush extravagant sets. Viewed in 3D, this results in an ephemeral otherworldly feel about it.
As can be expected the acrobatic acts are stunning & timed to perfection.
The production is a surreal transcendental fantasy where one should just float along in the extravagance of the production.
