I wanted my hour back,
By James Tom (San Francsico, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: National Geographic: Beyond the Movie: Troy (DVD)
This was very disapointing. The re-enactments were horrible. Watch In Search of the Trojan War instead its long but it provides a lot more information or better yet read "The Ancient Greece of Odysseus" by Peter Connolly.

Save your money, pass this one by,
By Josephus "apocrypha1611" (Knoxville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: National Geographic: Beyond the Movie: Troy (DVD)
I can't help but wonder if I saw the same video as those who gave this five stars. When I bought it I was really looking forward to it - in that I have a great many National Geographic Video's, all of which are very good. This one is not up to their standards.The re-enactments are really bad (they look more like Romans rather than bronze age greeks). I was also underwhelmed by the information or lack of.

Boring and not worth the price.,

This review is from: National Geographic: Beyond the Movie: Troy (DVD)
I was very disappointed. These National Geographic specials are usually quality productions. But this one seems more of an afterthought than a serious effort. The actors walk around in cheap high school costumes that make no effort at all to be historical. And the expert commentary seems very tongue-in-cheek. Nothing in this special is at all special. I really expected better.Check out Michael Wood's "In Search of the Trojan War" instead. It has more of what you expected to be in this DVD.
