This is a very confused little film that mostly seems like a reel of (albeit beautiful) footage of Greek scenery masqueraded as a documentary. The information presented is sparse and doesn't cover any one topic in a meaningful way. The narrator is mostly rattling off the occasional factoid, most of which are pretty vague. There is a beautiful soundtrack, but I can't help feeling it's only there to distract from the lack of meaning. There are a couple of interesting moments in this "documentary", for example a 3D recreation of the Acropolis in its original glory. But the information here won't be helpful for either Greek history fans or for people who are new to Greek history. I mostly recommend it as background scenery or something pleasant to fall asleep to... Clearly it was made to be shown in IMAX theaters, and that's where it belongs.
