Movie Reviews of Cirque du Soleil - Dralion
Movie Review: This is my favorite of three
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a Cirque newbie, I bought this DVD along with Quidam after seeing La Nouba at Disney. The dynamic score in this performance is easily my favorite with a Eastern/African (and other parts of the world) fused together in a interesting and new way. The acts were dazzling of course, but I found the new age juggler acts to be my favorite. As well, the behind the scenes was a welcome extra and the multi angle feature for four of the acts allowed me to see the acts that way I want and be closer to the feeling of being there (sometimes I find the camera zooms in at the inappropriate time)Each Cirque Du Soleil is unique and once you watch one, you'll want to see others to see what these creative geniuses have in store. So far, I like Quidam the most because of the score which feels like a soundtrack from a grand epic movie. Gotta go now...and watch it again.
Movie Review: Fantastic performance, fantastic extras!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a Cirque fan, you'll expect a great performance, and you won't be disappointed. I saw this performance on pay-per-view, and pre-ordered the DVD. I received it yesterday! The acts are terriffic- the Juggler is amazing, hand balancing, trapeze, I don't want to leave them all out, but it's simply one great act after another. I will be catching this performance live when they come to New York in the spring! Can't wait!!!If you're a DVD extras fan, you'll be even more pleased! They put a making-of featurette on the disc, along with several acts in multi-angle! There are some trailers for Quidam (still my favorite, but only by a small margin), Dralion, and some other stuff.
This one is a must for any Cirque fan!
Movie Review: In a word - - WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never seen a Cirque du Soleil show before and was apprehensive on dropping $100+ on something I wouldn't enjoy so I caught this on pay-per-view.Wow - what an amazing show! Some of the most incredible acts I have ever seen with a wonderful asian and middle-eastern influenced soundtrack. A combination of both circus and theater with elaborate lighting, sets and costumes. Now I'm just sorry I saw it on the small screen before seeing it live.
I immediately called up my dad and told him it's a must-see as they will be travelling to his area in the next month or two. I, unfortunately, missed the show when it was in my area and will have to settle for the DVD. Hmmm... it has been a while since I've seen my dad...
Movie Review: Dralion is mesmerizing
Summary: 5 Stars
I was lucky enough to have been invited to see Dralion under le grand chapiteau, front row seats nonetheless. It was absolutely fantastic. I've been a fan of Cirque du Soleil ever since I saw a sample performance on TV, and had made it a life goal of mine to see them live. It was everything I had dreamed of and more.The Dralion DVD captures some of that magic, but nothing is like seeing it live. Even still, it's a great DVD. There are times where I think they could have done a better job framing a particular act or whatever, but it's still a fantastic show. Everyone I've shown it to has been mesmerized by the amazing performances and music, which has turned them into Cirque fans.
Movie Review: Magical, Unique and Wonderous
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a big Cirque fan and have NEVER been disappointed by any Cirque production. This DVD is well worth your time and money. Dralion is magical, unique and above all it touches your senses and drives your soul. The cultural aspect of this show lives through the ancient chinese circus, and feeds upon those traditions. The acts, amazing!! The music, beautiful!! The stage, both modern and ancient. If you ever have the opportunity to see a cirque production, take the time and the money to do so. There are two shows here in Las Vegas, "O" and Mystere. Both are a 5 star!! Also don't forget to check out the DVD Quidam, a triumph in itself.....
