Nonureva Really Surprised!

GazerRise Fantastic!

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

kaela-barnett I've seen a lot of what Cirque du Soleil has done, and for the most part, enjoy them enough to watch them over and over. This one, though, is not quite up to par. It wasn't nearly as good the second time around as they usually are.The male singer was the most incredible part of the entire show. His vocal range in amazing--to the point that I spent a good bit of time trying to decide if he was a woman with a range that extended lower than usual, or a man with a range that extended upward. That said, I think the camera spent far too much time on the singers. They rarely do anything that requires your visual attention, but the cameras were constantly cutting to them, and holding far too long.I agree completely with the above assessment of the cameramen--they jumped around far too much, especially with the first portion of Aerial Contortion in Silk. It looked as though with would have been incredibly ethereal, as a whole, but when the camera was jerking between one flyer, then to the singer, then a flick of the entire stage, then back to a single flyer...that performance should have been a graceful dance, and the camera work chopped it up into something more suitable for the MTV generation of music videos. It didn't seem like the cameramen ever figured out that fast, staccato performances can use fast camera movements, but slow, graceful performances need slow, graceful camera work.The clowns also left something to be desired. The parodies were too overacted, and they slapped the audience in the face with the jokes. While most of the clowns in the performances I've seen use a bit of subtlety in the humor (I'm thinking specifically of John in Quidam), these had absolutely none.Of the performances themselves, only two really stood out to me--the juggler and the trapeze bit. The control the juggler had over both his own body and the balls was incredible. He used his back, head, and feet with as much skill as his hands. The trapeze, I felt, was good (rather than excellent), and improved by the music selection. The thumping heartbeat rhythm in the background, speeding up as the performance went on, was the perfect choice for the performance, and did much to improve the sense of anxiety.

Araka16 This whole show is excellent. I bought this movie when I was visiting Las Vegas in October, and I have not grown tired of watching it since.From the moment the child comes out with the hourglass to the last moment of the finale with everyone on-stage, I was completely entranced.Each act can only be called stellar, and one of the only reasons it didn't rate higher was because of the camera men. There were many moments that it focused on one part of the stage when I would've liked to also see the action going on at the other side of the stage. A good example of this would be the pre-finale dance involving the four main dancers of the show. I have no idea what some of them were doing 80% of the time because the cameras keep flying to the drums, or to Agnes, or to "Azala", who was amazing, mind you. I'm just slightly disappointed that we didn't get to really see what % a" and "Oceane" were doing.I found the comedic acts of the show to be delightfully hilarious. My particular favorite has to be the last act involving all four clowns, I personally think that one is hysterical.Highly recommended.

Megan It was an impressive show. I didn't tire of watching it. However, I only saw approximately 2/3 of it. I was sick when I saw it live and I fell asleep because while it was frigid and January, they made that tent awfully warm. The acrobatics were amazing. I would see it again in a second.

martymaster I never get tired of this show neither do the rest of the people who has seen it,acording to reviews. Everything in this show has a purpose and it is so incredible well mixed together,the music,atmosphere,acrobatic and lighting. Cirque du soleil has made two shows that really stands out and that is Quidam and Dralion.The shows has won plenty of awards and hearts all over the world.They have managed to creat something that you have never seen before. Some of the best acts in Dralion are the "single hand balancing","The juggler" and the "air acrobatic". Go buy this on dvd or see it live,I guarantee that you won't be disapointed.
