3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful with the sound off, January 5, 2009

This review is from: Mystery of the Nile [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Like many films in this genre, this one is often better viewed with the sound off. The blu ray transfer is good in most places and some of the cinematography is exactly what you want on a big LCD via blu ray. The narration is pedestrian at best, adding little and sometimes detracting from the enjoyment. It's a bit overwrought and melodramatic. If you can pick it up inexpensively, it does have some impressive eye candy.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best IMAX Films, August 6, 2006

This review is from: Mystery of the Nile (IMAX) (DVD)

Over the years I have seen many IMAX films...most were forgettable, a few unforgettable. "Everest" is one IMAX film that still lingers in my memory. This film is almost as good as that film. It is beautiful, educational and exciting. It, at times, kept me on the edge of my seat. My whole family agreed it was a memorable and worthwhile viewing experience. P.S. It also has a wonderful soundtrack.
