Time tunnel What about the series? Pretty good stories. Quite instructive in that they can tell about some historical epochs and moments previously unknown to the viewer.
The series began to watch at first due to the fact that he came across the story of the capture of Jericho by Joshua (Yehoshua ben-Nun) after the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. I have to say that this series was very popular.
In general, further notes will be taken into account at the discretion of the viewer himself, but I will say objectively about the series:
Interesting stories. They have not only a historical basis, which forces after watching the next series to go online and learn something about the events of the past years. If you know what this event is, there may be intrigue. Well, we historians know that the next day the Japanese will attack Pearl Harbor, or that the Normandy landing will take place very soon. We don’t know what will happen to our heroes.
But over time, one rather severe minus is noticed. It's cyclical. The only thing that changes over time is the location. The variety with each series is reduced to zero.
The visual part in terms of effects for the average 1960s series is quite acceptable. It’s no different than the good movies of its time. The color of the films of the 60s is obvious, which cannot but please the eye.
The second rather severe disadvantage is that gradually the series begins to borrow frames and even music from other films. In the series about the Mongols, I saw footage from the film 'Taras Bulba' 1962. This led me to bewilderment, because the barely distinguishable Cossacks from the above-mentioned film work, the series now being disassembled by your humble servant, passed off as Mongols. Interesting.
What kind of music did the show borrow? In at least two episodes, in particular about Robin Hood, sounded the melody of Franz Faxman from the film ' Prince Valiant' 1954.
These two hard drawbacks suggest to me that over time, the series just began to lose ground. Lack of ideas and borrowing from other films does not add, but on the contrary, eliminates my score.
Should I watch the show? You can watch, but only if the respected viewer does not have time to watch some masterpieces, but there are a couple of hours for the visualization of an easy to perceive series.
6 out of 10
Points are reduced for the above and also for the fact that the series has no logical end. If you do not want to watch the whole series, then open the last thirtieth part and flip to the very end.
