Summary: Good movie
Review: This is a very good movie. Spectacular in it's cinematography. It does a very good job of elaborating on the life of the Zulu King, Shaka. I would personally recommend it to anyone, but....it can be had cheaper at overstock.com. $21 cheaper....

Summary: Too Much like the Mini-Series
Review: Yes, I fully realise that that's the point, to put the entire miniseries on DVD. But you'd think someone would have run it through an editing machine at least once in the past 15 years. The picture and sound are terrific, but the DVD is exactly like it was on TV so many years ago, bad transitions and everything. Perhaps I'm being picky, but the the transitions between scenes is for lack of a better term, sloppy. The picture would either freeze for a few seconds or seem to cut out prematurely before moving to the next scene.
Also, I was saddened to find that there is no option to activate subtitles. While it's mostly in English, the dialogue is not the easiest to follow even to those who aren't hard of hearing.
All complaining aside, I still thoroughly enjoyed watching it and highly recommend it to anyone who's into historical dramas, and even to those who aren't.
