Cirque du Soleil - Baroque Odyssey

Rating:
Summary: Historical Cirque Du Soleil
Review: A documentary of Cirque's first 10 years. From when Cirque was started by street performers to their 10th anniversary. An interesting historical documentary that no Cirque fan should be without. Get it.

Rating:
Summary: Not a good pick
Review: This is not what you want to buy if you want to see action, art or music. This is a documentary that doesn't do justice to the spectacular group. Hardly any sequence represents the true escence of the acts because they are very few and interrupted. The editing is poor. The content is mostly interviews.

Summary: A disapointment
Review: Video only fair to average, audio fair, content interesting for one viewing but not a DVD which one would view over & over. We anticipated more action but only saw snippets.

The cover notes are both incorrect and misleading. It claims "Full screen" implying to me it is 16:9 format. It is not, it is 4:3 and should have clearly said so. It also displays the "Dolby Digital" logo implying it is 5.1. It is not, it is very ordinary stereo and should have said so. The Amazon description is accurate and clearly states the format and the audio configuration so these notes are a criticism of Columbia Tristar - buyers in shops could be easily misled.
