Summary: Best film of all the touring shows
Review: The lighting is better on this dvd than on most of the cirque recordings. None of them ever capture the magic of the live shows, but this seems to be the best historical record.

The second cd was a nice bonus, and a good supplement to the Bravo show, but they were some technical glitches. Exiting and restarting seemed to take care of the problem.




Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT SHOW
Review: The show is awesome..but like all the shows, you HAVE to see them live. I aggree it doesn't have good editing. I think Alegria had the "best" filming so far...but it would have been nice to see more of the show as well. I hear "La Nouba" had the best fimling yet, since it was filmed by Disney this time, instead of tristar, or whoever it's been.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not the show shown on BRAVO...
Review: This is definitely NOT the show shown on BRAVO, which I did not like. BRAVO edited the footage by taking away a great portion of the show and by croping the image to full screen.

However, the Varekai DVD (which I happen to own) is mindblowing, fantastic, no words, eye candy all the way, the DTS sound is so crisp and powerfull. The images and colors on this DVD are superb...the widescreen anamorphic picture looks absolutely beautiful. Varekai...what a show...

What was shown on BRAVO was garbage...what is contained on this DVD is ART. Thank you Cirque.

If you are new to Cirque du Soleil's DVD's I also recommend Quidam, Dralion, and Alegria (the show not the film). All sound amazing and are presented in widescreen anamorphic. However, if you plan to get Dralion, get the new Superbit version. Even if you already own Dralion on DVD I think that the new Superbit version with DTS is competely worth it. The DTS sound makes the show so much more involving.

Summary: Another wonderful Cirque de Soleil production
Review: This show encompasses all we want from Cirque du Soleil and gives us more as a bonus. Less anguished (or sinister as my 10 year old son puts it) than Quidam, Varekai is a display of color, energy, beauty and sound. To make this better, it is a wonderful display of a multiracial joint venture - successful and peaceful. Cirque du Soleil is able to show the beauty of humanity without disguises. No machinery, no spectacular effects, just unbeliable human acts, one after the other. It is sensual, without a touch of bad taste. And to crown it all, no hint of violence. I can only thank again and again the whole CduS troupe for their shows.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best i've seen
Review: Using everything you have, to give people entertaiment around the world is amazing, and the gift you give to people is even better.The gift u gave to me inspired me to want join the circus and to take french I just sing like that one girl sang,she had a beautiful voice. (...),but i got a lot say about this beautiful circus.It made me cry that is how good it is and to see that girl do what she did on that stand was incredibile. Also the guy doing that net thing was just amazing that is my favorite movie and over summer break i'll watch it everyday.
