    Ho-Hum!

    If you ask me - This "Niagara" history-documentary (which was originally an IMAX presentation) turned out to be quite a dismal production, in the long run.

    Featuring several super-dreary re-enactments of key moments in the 12,000-year-old history of the falls, "Niagara's" initial "Lelawala: Maiden of the Mist" story was so ridiculous in its presentation that I found it to be downright laughable.

    Yes. Indeed. Words like dull and lack lustre would also describe this particular documentary very accurately.

    Nope. I would never recommend this documentary.

    • Trivia
      After the boy goes over the falls, a man behind the railing on the shore yells to the girl being carried toward the falls, "Come on! Try to swim in!" During this shot, the director, Kieth Merrill, is walking from left to right, behind the people at the railing.

      The flag on the falls' tour boat in 1961 shows the maple leaf flag - Canada didn't adopt this flag until 1964.
