Product Description

Join a team of explorers on the expedition of a lifetime as they set off to become the first to navigate the Blue Nile from source to sea. The epic 3,260-mile descent down the world's greatest and deadliest river has eluded humankind for centuries - until now! Ride shotgun on the team's 16-foot rafts as they crash through the rapids in Ethiopia's desert canyons. Battle through some of the world's most extreme whitewater rapids with renowned kayaker, Gordon Brown. Over the arduous, four month journey, the team faces nearly insurmountable challenges - from crocodile attacks to armed bandits and arrests. Through breathtaking cinematography, Mystery of the Nile reveals a wondrous region and abundant treasures from Tissisat Falls and the wonders of Egypt to the forgotten black pyramids of Meroe and 12th century churches that were carved into sheer rock.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful with the sound off, January 5, 2009
By Brian Hunt (Bellevue, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 Great adventure, January 25, 2009
By Davey Schmidt (Sequim, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We thorougly enjoyed this blu-ray and highly recommend it. The photography was excellent with some great whitewater photography. The Blue Nile scenery was spectacular.I wish the culture along the Nile was covered more, maybe as additional chapters since this was made for IMAX theaters and the main feature was limited on time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short history, good image and good sound, May 5, 2009
By Pale Pablo "Fabian" (Montevideo, URUGUAY (South America)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The history is short and simply: "travel the river from start to finish"

The film shows an expedition of 100 days aprox across the Nyle. there are differents situation and different people in this period

The best value is the image quality and audio track, the music (very good multi channel) is like "tribal music", and is perfect according to the topic.

The aerial images are very well realized, and achieve an interesting effect

I learned a lot about the Nile River that I did not know. The color and picture in 1080P was jaw dropping. I plan to buy more for Birthdays.
