4 stars Well, this is the classic Floyd video and should be a part of any collection of their admirers!

That said, and keeping the memory of the original 1 hour video film of Pompeii alone, I am not particularly thrilled by this "Director's Cut" extended version. Although it does contain many interesting moments, it basically distracts from viewing the original Pompeii scenes. Particularly annoying are computer-generated space images, which seem to me as a cheap tool to fill in holes of producers' unimaginativeness.

Nonetheless, since this performance of Pink Floyd is one of their best live acts I have ever seen, it goes into the category of timeless classics.

Seyo | 4/5 |
