### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Informative and easy to watch
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2008*

I've been buying Nova documentaries so my 7-year old son can get some science in his head in addition to the complete list of Transformers and the details of their fates.This DVD does that job admirably; he watched it quite closely, and after we watched it, it was clear that he understood the material and was enthused about it.  He wasn't so enthused about living in a state adjacent to Yellowstone NP, but you can't have everything!For adults, the material is still compelling, since you'll pick up more than a few interesting details of volcanic geology, how they match volcanic ash to a volano, and lest I forget, that Yellowstone's only 40k years overdue for the most destructive eruption ever.For adults there's still a few "hmm" moments. For instance, matching ash from remote deposits back to the original "super volcano" plays a major role in the investigation portrayed by the documentary.However, while there are several excellent scenes when not-matching samples are displayed against each other, when the matching samples are displayed, it's just two photos of the same sample.  Ooh, boo, since I was really interested in seeing how an ash sample from many hundreds of miles away matches what they found in the crater.  Would it be a match that's obvious to the uninitiated, or is it more like a fingerprint, where you have to know what to look for?But that's a nit relative to the overall production, which is more than well enough done and met my goals perfectly.

    Very Good
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2011*

This is a great DVD on one of the largest volcanos to erupt 70,000 years ago.  This has great detail, scientist interviews, and a great story.  I've seen this before several times on TV and had to get it as soon as the price was right.  This was written and produced by British David Sington who has done some fantastic films (Magnetic Storm, In the Shadow of the Moon, Dimming the Sun, Death Star, etc. - I have all of them).  He really does excellent work - highly sophisticated, educational, entertaining, good music, just everything). I've seen this over and over again and I never get tired of it - there's always something I didn't catch before.  This is loaded with information - can't keep my eyes off it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Pretty good....
  

*by T***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2014*

This is a good "connect the scientific dots" mystery story of how scientists were able to learn about and attempt to recreate the eruption of Toba around 74,000 years ago. My students will enjoy viewing it. I just wish they had given at least a nod to the "genetic bottleneck" theory; they didn't mention it at all.
