COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Uneven collection - hardly definitive submitted by vk on September 10, 2014, 1:17am This 2.5-hr long DVD contains four videos: three on the seven ancient wonders of the world and one on the seven new wonders of the world; hence the title of fourteen wonders of the world. They are of varying lengths and quality.

The DVD leads off with "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World", a video made in 2000, which was the weakest of the bunch and I did not feel engaged at all. The second video was "The New Wonders of the World", which was better paced and made in 2008. The extras feature two shorter videos: one on "Alexander and the Seven Wonders" and the last one weakly entitled "What did They really look like?" (where the They refers to the seven ancient wonders of the world). These two extras reused a lot of footage from the two main videos.

My conclusion: this is a so-so DVD, which may be worth your while if you had no previous exposure to these fourteen wonders of the world.
