Mystery Of The Nile (Large Format) (Bilingual) [Blu-ray]

Mystery of the Nile is a beautifully done adventure-documentary with stunning visuals and a beautiful variety of musical scores. The film begins with the creation and planning stages of the adventure and follows through until the end. The entire film manages to maintain the audience's complete attention by employing powerful storytelling from various characters.

The visuals in the film are stunning and easily meet the expectations that both new and experienced Blu-Ray consumers would expect from a nature film. Whether you are watching a majestic waterfall or looking at ancient pyramids buried in the sand, every scene in the film is crystal clear and easy on the eyes.

The music provides this film with a beautiful and enchanting backdrop. The mix of music from various African cultures is almost haunting at times and does well to immerse the audience in the experience.

The characters in the adventure are compelling as well. Each member of the expedition is extremely well spoken and (usually) attractive - leading me at one point to believe that the entire cast was put through auditions before being selected. Whether this is true or not the cast comes together perfectly to create a compelling adventure experience.

This movie receives a perfect review for its overall excellence. I recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in foreign cultures, adventure or nature.

I was really looking forward to this documentary, and was very disappointed. Do not buy it. It is only 45 minutes long, and has a couple good shots of the Nile and that's it. They don't go into any detail about where the Nile starts or ends. There was very little footage of anything at all, just the people who made the documentary talking about their feelings on the side of the river. I wanted to actually see the start of the Nile and the end, and you never see it. The film starts and they are already mid-voyage, and then suddenly ends as they apparently got to the end. Very little footage of them rafting, and it is hard to believe they actually made it, they are all amateurs.. VERY DISAPPOINTED, DO NOT BUY!
