Customer Reviews of Imax / Greece: Secrets of the Past (MacGillivray Freeman Films) (Large Format)
NOT WMVHD Bought this DVD on the basis that it was a High Definition DVD using Microsoft's WMVHD technology i.e like the other IMAX titles such as Amazon, The Living Sea etc. Those titles ship with two disks - one standard, and one PC only (high definition) version. This Greece title is just a single, standard definition DVD. Nothing special. This lower quality title costs the same as the higher quality IMAX titles. Be v. careful of what you are buying. If you receive two disks, then you're ok....
The Parthenon as in Pericles day!
I bought this IMAX DVD mainly for the special effects of the Parthenon fully resorted and in it's full glory. I wasn't disappointed! The musical score brought life to the flawless video quality that is the hallmark of all IMAX DVD's.

>The narrative nicely ties in the elements of the story with the voice of Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) bringing the story to life.

>The highlights are the volcanic eruption of Santorini in 1646BC and of course the Parthenon. I could try to describe what they have done with the latest computing power but you'll have to get the DVD to see what I'm talking about. I also found fascinating (I'm a Greek History buff) was the piece of pottery they found that had Pedicles name written on it. This was used for his ostracism in 430, 3 years into the war with Sparta and 1 year before his death. Also equally fascinating are the restored art work from a building that was buried in the Santorini eruption. What is surprising was the drawing of a ship showing how advanced the Greeks were in the 1600BC's!
