Negative Positive
Title: Great visuals, limited content
Review: The typical documentary of eras before photography struggles for visuals, using blurred reenactments and photographs of artifacts that often add little to the narrative. The novel approach of "Footsteps" makes for compelling viewing. But the content is far too focused on the details of the journey itself. There's very little about Alexander's childhood and almost nothing almost the historical context or consequences of his conquests. A great adventure that left me a bit frustrated.
