While the documentary tries to tell the story of two people obsessed with volcanos, I found myself in awe of the incredible images the two of them captured 40-50 years ago. That is a feat in itself.

The doc has a common narrative and covers the story of the two scientists from their beginnings all the way to their demise. There is no conflict, it's just a standard story told in a very newspaper-y way. It uses only archive footage and that is clearly a great choice, it keeps you within the story and era. The Kapadia style of documentary we've first seen more than a decade ago strikes again to great effect, it seems to be the new norm for these types of docs and it's used brilliantly here by Sara Dosa.

Yes, the voice-over is horrible, but switching audio to another language is easy on streaming platforms. The French audio suits the doc as the two main characters are French themselves. And it's well done compared to the English voiceover.

Overall, the story of the two characters is as boring as can be, but the incredible images they've captured is what will live long after their mundane story is forgotten.

Metal Gears Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots is a special game.This is probably the most anticipated game of the year 2008 and it's also a game that has to bring the PS3 what it never had before,a better game than any other on XBOX 360.This game also is expected to be the final work of Hideo Kojima in the Metal Gear series.It does everything people expected.It is an incredible experience from beginning to end. As many PS3 games it has a pre-installation which doesn't take long but which makes you more anxious about what you are about to face.The game starts like an Academy Award winning movie.The game concentrates on combining the experience of playing video games and watching a movie.The guys from Konami did a great job of combining the two.Every cinematic fits perfect with the game.And you never feel like the cinematic just started without notice or without sense.This game is a masterpiece.After playing it for a while you will realize that you have never played anything like it before.It is just stunning. The vast majority of good games stand out for one or two elements that feel better than in every thing else.But in MGS4 everything is better than in anything else.The graphics are amazing.I don't think that there are many low textures in this game,everything is as sharp as it good be and everything that happens around is just as real.The AI is very good,being able to spot you very quickly if you make any sudden or loud moves.The sound in the game is top notch.Beginning with the incredible precise sound effects,with the perfect music,and the top notch voice-acting,this game is the best ever. The gameplay has also been much improved and the shooting is far more precise than in any other MGS.The number of moves that Snake does in the game is pretty high and every move he makes seems very real. A big bummer for some may be the long cinematics which are longer than the game itself.But this game is the ultimate story telling machine.It tells the story of Solid Snake beautifully.This game is really a tribute to the legend which is Solid Snake. I would recommend this game to everyone.It is truly a must have.This is just one of those games that you simply have to buy.Even if you don't really like the idea of the game,or the fact that cinematics are long,you still have to buy this game.The experience that this game delivers is incredible and you can see that the producers really cared about the product.What came out is this game which deserves a perfect 10.

My Score 10
