Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away

It's visually impressive as expected but a few things disappointed me. First of all as much as I found the 2 actors (the girl and the boy that we see throughout the movie) very good acrobats, they are poor actors. The girls facial expressions looked so fake she almost seems robotic at times. There is no denying that the acrobatic numbers were stunning but there was too much time wasted with vaudeville interludes. On a more subjective note, I kept asking myself why they make such beautiful and athletic bodied humans look so ugly with overdone, clownesque makeup and very weird costumes. Sometimes too much is as bad as not enough. Freak or freakish are adjectives that kept popping up in my head! Also, as I had just seen Life of Pi in 3D where the immersion was total, I felt the 3D effect here was very weak at best. Overall I enjoyed the show but was expecting more. The decors are absolutely spectacular for the most part and some numbers are truly fascinating. Kudos to all the magnificent athletes who are a part of the Cirque du Soleil. They are the best in the world.
