Movie Review: "Egypt: The Quest for Immortality" 1995 TV

This is the movie review for "Egypt: The Quest for Immortality", released in 1995 to TV with Time. This is the first episode of the first season of "Lost Civilizations". I have this on VHS and watched it May 27, 2019.



Genre: Documentary
Run Time: 40 Minutes



Plot

This is about how Egypt had a thing for immortality: life after death. This episode talks about how much the culture paid attention to taking care of their departed, the tombs, their folklore, etc. 




Official MPAA Rating (According to IMDB.com):
G / General Audiences
PG / Parental Guidance Suggested
PG-13 / Parents Strongly Cautioned
R / Restricted
X
Not Rated


Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.

4.5/5 - This was a very biased view on Egypt (not paying attention to how they treated Jewish slaves) and their quest for immortality. It was very interesting to watch, especially finding out what the Rosetta stone actually is and how it was found, how the tombs were robbed (animal burial tombs too!), and how the scientists are trying to preserve the remnants of the pharaohs.

I am definitely still interested in learning more about the Egyptian culture so I will continue to search for more information in the future. For those that find Egypt interesting, I highly recommend this episode. There are probably newer shows about this same thing that can give better entertainment but this was still informative.

That's my review. Thanks for reading! More reviews are to come.
