Yes, this video on Angkor Wat, could have been better, but it was still informative. It gave me a clearer view of where I will be traveling to on August, 2006. However, of course, I will be using more CD/DVD resources before I travel to Cambodia. This is a great beginners HVS tape on Angkor Wat, I am also a great fan of Leonard Nimoy:

This review is from: Ancient Mysteries: Angkor Wat

This has got to be the documentary with the WORST production value ever made. The camera work is unstable, the lighting is horrible and the narration will put you to sleep in about two minutes. Aside from the fact that Lenord Nimoy insists on saying "Anger" instead of "Ang-KOR", he sounds like he has never read the script before and is doing it in one take. You would think in 50 minutes that there would be a few beauty shots of the temples, but instead, there are a lot of shaky close-ups on the bas reliefs...too close to really tell what you are looking at. I have visited these temples, and this documentary does not do justice to the majestic atmosphere that you will encounter. Also, the scenes of the temples are hazy, as if they didn't use any contrast filters at all. It just makes the buildings look flat and plain. If you haven't seen them, this documentary would not make you want to visit...and that's the real crime here.
