Summary: Received as described
Comment: received this item without any problems or issues. We appreciate it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Oh, Dear....This really is awful
Comment: No Stars if I could. The information may be interesting but the production quality of this DVD was so bad that I had a headache at 9:00 minutes into this thing.
Not worth anyones money ... If you are curious for a little personal torture then rent it from Netflix!
Customer Rating:
Summary: DON'T BUY!!!
Comment: I must echo the others here, that the DVD transfer is TERRIBLE!! The sound is like it has gone through a heavy-metal band guitar distortion-booster, and it does indeed "freeze, back-up and rewind" somewhere in the middle. What a shame!
Customer Rating:
Summary: All videos here on Amazon about Nikola Tesla are worth getting!
Comment: English subtitled and a bit flawed in
transfer, but should be seen at least
once by all Americans, while we still
have freedom of choice and can get pa-
tents! Many, like Rudy Gundermann, the
austrian-Amer-I-can, got screwed out of
their dues by greedy corporate types.
Only Mike Brown and a handful of other
Independent Amre-I-cans inventors left
...Where will the next generation of
them come from. I contend that the
'Greatest Generation' is the one that
accomplishes the most, much to Tom
Brokaw's flawed 'greatest generation'!

Summary: Flawed Transfer of a Flawed Film of a 'Flawed' Man
Comment: All of the other reviews have already touched on the subject of the flawed transfer of this terrific story detailing a handful of significant events in the life of the ever elusive Nikolai Tesla, but, in perfect honesty, it is worth noting once again: this transfer's audio and video quality are atrocious, with the sound alternating between 'tinny' and 'bass' and the picture flickering with what appears to be a horrible video original. Tesla has always been a subject gravitating between 'myth' and 'legend,' and, while this screenplay does try to do some justice to the man's life pursuits, it chalks up much of his discoveries as unexplainable inspiration -- fleeting fancies of genius never explored or understood. There's always far more to genius than that (as one could surmise from Tesla and Thomas A. Edison's disagreements), but, unfortunately, this story doesn't offer much. Also, the film's sole explanation provided by the character of Tesla is, sadly, presented in German ... WITH NO SUBTITLES FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T SPEAK IT! The film's greatest strength is presenting Tesla as a subject who deserves greater study; besides that, RENT it, if you can find it, and don't make the investment. A better transfer would be necessary to justify this purchase price.

Editorial Reviews:

EBE Award Winner! Best Feature Film - International UFO Congress Film Festival. Long shrouded in secrecy, the life of Nikola Tesla is artfully illuminated in this fascinating film. His achievements led to the discovery of radio and television as well as the development of the first hydroelectric dam, remote control, radar tracking for the military, x-ray and the manipulation of matter and energy. His discoveries are also the basis for the emerging science of free energy. Encyclopedia Britannica lists Nikola Tesla as one of the most fascinating people in history. So why is he virtually unknown to the general public? This movie is a penetrating study of the life and mind of a "scientific superman" who, against all odds, dedicated his life to the task of designing and improving technology for the service and advancement of humanity.
