Movie Reviews of Cirque du Soleil - Varekai
Movie Review: Phenomenal :-)
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Cirque du Soleil. LOVE them. I bought this dvd back in 2004 and watch it a couple of times a year, but finally saw Varekai in person today. I've seen Mystere, O and Ka before, and this was also brilliant and phenomenal.
The dvd is as excellent as the actual performance. It brings to life the colours of the costumes (superb) and you can obviously see the make-up better too and their facial expressions. The music is great and I love being able to watch this again and again. Nothing of course will ever beat being in the theatre with them watching in person, but this sure comes close and if you are a fan of Cirque, you are bound to love this too. I highly recommend it. People of all ages can watch this fantastic show.
Movie Review: Lovely Acts and Storyline
Summary: 5 Stars
Varekai has got to be my favourite show done by Cirque du Soleil. I have a love for storylines like this as well as great actors like John Gikey or Rodrique Proteau who protray their character in such an awesome way. Varekai's music and acts have been some of the best in the series of their shows.
My favourite act has to be the hilarious "Lightbulb Act" and the "Soundmachine" at the beginning of the show. If you want watch a show that ensues hilarious acts and beautiful acts in one watch this show. Take it from someone who has gone to see one of theirs acts live. . .it's not like watching it live, but at the same time it feels like you are there watching it live as the quality of the video is well done.
Movie Review: Fascinating and inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
VAREKAI is a spectacular show by Cirque du Soleil and the DVD captures the atmosphere of the stage production very well. The story of Icarus provides the main thematic framework which is then developed to create the rest of the 'numbers'. One of the highlights is the duet by the British gymnasts - the Atherton Twins. Its beauty, precision, choreography and inventiveness will leave you speechless!
The extras on the DVD bring you closer to the performers of the show, the difficulties of performing the same show every day and help you understand and appreciate the strength and stamina required. It is worth buying, even if you have seen the actual stage show. A fascinating and inspiring memoir!
Movie Review: EXCELLENT - A MUST BUY & MUST SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this show first on the Bravo Channel and then I saw the live show in Pomona. I absolutely HAD to buy the DVD. First of all, the clowns were totally hilarious. My sides were hurting I laughed so hard. The acrobatics, Icarian games, balancing act, trapeze act, and aerial straps were beautiful, amazing, and striking.The DVD has spectacular footage and great camera angles. The sound is great on the DVD. Maybe even better than at the live show. If people were not getting good sound, they may need to adjust their speakers? There are interviews, the special "Fire Within," and other things on the DVD. 2 Disk Set. Well worth the money.
Movie Review: Another wonderful Cirque de Soleil production
Summary: 5 Stars
This show encompasses all we want from Cirque du Soleil and gives us more as a bonus. Less anguished (or sinister as my 10 year old son puts it) than Quidam, Varekai is a display of color, energy, beauty and sound. To make this better, it is a wonderful display of a multiracial joint venture - successful and peaceful. Cirque du Soleil is able to show the beauty of humanity without disguises. No machinery, no spectacular effects, just unbeliable human acts, one after the other. It is sensual, without a touch of bad taste. And to crown it all, no hint of violence. I can only thank again and again the whole CduS troupe for their shows.
