4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, January 9, 2007

By 

A Witness "Always Learning" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: National Geographic - Forces of Nature (DVD)

Excellent footage, scene set up, and computer graphics. You are "there" for each event. The computer graphics allow you to "see" what is happening beneath the surface during an earthquake, as well as educating you on volcanic activity. The narrative was very informative, however for some inexplicable reason the volume starts dropping at a certain point for a few minutes. A tad annoying, but easily fixed, though you might miss the first few words. There could be a tendency, when putting together a film like this, to over-dramatize, however, the filmmakers resist and we get a reasonable presentation of the facts. I would highly recommend this well done documentary. Be sure to watch the bonus features.

This video is very short and doesn't have a lot of content. Thier are some great sceens but overall its nothing you havn't seen before. I would have liked to see some avalanches and better explanations of all natural disasters with more depth.

I bought this video because my son is OBSESSED with volcanoes. I hoped to see more footage of eruptions, but instead, the video focuses on ash eruptions and discussions with vulcanologists. It is interesting, but I'm sure there is better footage out there.
