Product: National Geographic - Africa [VHS] (2001)
Rating: 5.0
Some serious problems, and lacking extras?
From the technical point of view, the images are crisp and the sound is excellent. However, this series was shot on film, so we're missing 24fps on the DVD format (maybe they'll re-release this on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD?)Second issue is, this compilation has no extras except the 1-hour "bonus" making-off, and some web links. Where are the directors' commentary? Where are the multiple languages? The whole series doesn't even have subtitle? This is such a shame. If you have seen an IMAX DVD before, you know what I mean, they pack so much extras into their DVDs, like 4-5 languages, closed captioned for the Hearing Impaired, trailers etc.Africa is a wonderful collection, only marred by its lack of extras that are essential in special-collection DVDs.
