Movie Reviews of Cirque du Soleil - Dralion
Movie Review: A serious MUST SEE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok it all starts off with the somewhat intro with all of the four elements, air:azala, fire:yao, earth:gaya, and water:oceane. then there's a little chinese boy with a hourglass, that represents time. Then out comes this girl of only about 11-12 and she starts hand balancing on a almost 7 foot pole in the middle of the stage and belive me I'm older then her but shes stronger then i may ever be. She balances for over 7 mins to the song Stella Erans beautifully sung by the famous French singer Érik Karol. And don't let his lustourious locks, and tenor-soprano voice trick you for he is male! And don't forget the other absolutely wonderful singer Angês Soheir! Then the next act is Viktor Kee's act the best juggler I have ever laid eyes on, and he's pretty hot for however old he is! Saving your privacy Vik! :D Also after that theres Hoop jumping, teterboards, amasing jumpropers, and of course my second favorite act in the world! Aerial Pas de Duex by Ivo and Juliana who arn't with Cirque any more but I wish they were! I MISS YOU TWO!!! I seriously give it Five Stars! And if you love this don't forget to watch Quidam, Alegría, Saltimbanco, Journey of Man, and Alegria the film! All done by the most wonderious Cirque du Soleil!Movie Review: One word.....Superb!

I must admit that I purchased this with some trepidation after reading some reviews saying there was "choppy editing" and other negatives regarding the Dralion DVD. I have seen only one Cirque Du Soleil show live and that was "O" at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. In my opinion, this comes about as close to seeing it live as you are going to get. There is a juggling sequence which is simply other-worldly, a hand-balancer who seems to do the impossible, and some jump-rope sequences that you have to see to believe. I am quite sure that I will be watching this many times in the years ahead.The DVD also has a Behind the Scenes look which was filmed in China before the show opened. It is amazing to compare where they were only months before the first show, and the performances you see on the DVD.
Cirque du Soleil is a feast for the senses- the music, acrobats, and movement combine to make one question whether what you are seeing is actually possible. IMO, they represent the best of what mankind is capable of. Dralion is not only well edited, but is an amazing show, and is easily worthy of six stars were that an option.
Movie Review: RIDICULOUSLY THE BEST!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just went to see Dralion Live a couple of days ago. We pruchased the VIP package to get the royal treatment and best seats. THIS SHOW IS PURELY HYPNOTIC, SURREAL, ARTISTIC, AND VISUALLY STUNNING. The music is phenomenal. The acts were very neat and the dancers all had distinct personalities that were really cool (hats off to the Indian dancer -- she was so graceful that she seemed to float)I dont care much for clowns and they even had me laughing.
I am definitely pre-ordering this DVD just to relive what I can of this event. Its impossible to capture everything from one camera angle (camera angle shifting within a live event hasnt been invented yet -- why did i go through that time machine) but it will still be worth seeing. If it comes to your city -- this is one of life's little experiences worth living. It is definitely one of the top 10 things ive seen in person in terms of entertainment value. If you can't afford it or it's not touring anywhere near you then buy this on DVD or VHS.
Movie Review: Dralion is Dreamy
Summary: 5 Stars
I fell in love with Dralion after seeing it on Bravo back in December. I had seen Saltimbanco in Seattle last summer and was hooked, but seeing Dralion launched me into the realm of FAN! When I saw a DVD was available, I instantly purchased it and have not regretted a moment of it. The featurette was a wonderful insight into the development of the show. I could have watched another 5 hours of that alone! The show on DVD is marvelous. The multi-angles were really fun -- having had some TV production experience, it took me back to the days in the "truck" directing a show! Viktor Lee is incredible...I'll never look at jugglers the same way again and Erik Karol is a god! His voice is sublime. I've become a fan of countertenors in an instant. Let me put it this way, this show has made its way into my dreams at night and I wake up smiling. That's saying a lot considering I've never seen it live. Dralion is worth every cent.Movie Review: Hoo-YAH!
Summary: 5 Stars
LOVE this DVD! I have almost a complete Cirque Du Soleil DVD collection, and so far, this one and Alegria are my very favorites. It's playful and serious by turns, and the performers are just incredible. I almost wanted to take some Advil or Tylenol for them, watching the things they did with their bodies acrobatically. The music was kind of otherworldly, and while the show was highly Chinese-themed, the music wasn't. But that also seems to be something that Cirque does - meld the show with the music. My favorite act is the juggler. He floors me every time I see it. WELL worth seeing. I'm seeing a live show near my home this fall, and I've seen LaNouba at Disneyworld twice. Whatever they put their name to, it's fantastic. And while there may be a little suggestiveness and some very slight innuendos in some of the shows, I personally would allow any child over about 5 years old to see them.
