Negative Positive
Title: Mediocre and Superficial at Best
Review: I was very disappointed in this DVD. It appears that the directors gathered some stock footage of the recent tsunami (and other types of disasters) that had both English and foreign language commentaries. When the foreign language commentators (probably from a news report in the native country) finished their monologues, an English translator then provided his interpretation. After awhile, this 'doublespeak' became quite tiresome. Also, there was absolutely no in-depth analysis of why these events happened. Or what can be done to help prevent them (if anything). There was no mention of hurricanes or cyclones in the flooding section of the DVD. Did you know that floods occur because too much rain falls and the rivers rise out of their banks? That is about the level of superficial scientific analysis in this DVD. Save your money and watch the National Geographic TV channel for better disaster coverage and analysis.
