Viking Apocalypse (2011)
Great Information; Terrible Sound
I've been on a bit of a Vikings kick lately and I was thrilled to stumble upon this little gem! It's got some issues, however. I'm streaming this title via Netflix, so I genuinely hope it's just a Netflix problem, and not an issue in every medium. I'll give it this much: the information and its presentation is fascinating and well done. But someone ought to lose his or her job over the incredibly inept sound mix. The effects and music are about twice as loud as the dialogue, which wouldn't be such an issue if this weren't A DOCUMENTARY! That said, the graphics, cinematography, etc. are all very well done. The historical costuming and props are believable. The scientists and narrator are well-spoken, even though they're drowned out at times by the crashing of waves and clashing of swords. If you can get past this noisy downside, it's well worth it!
