After watching this miniseries for the first time, it made me more interested in history, and in the stories of the Presidents of the United States. I have watched it multiple times since. I had purchased my FIRST copy of the JOHN ADAMS series when it was first released, and had also given it as gifts to many family members/friends since. This purchase was for the Blu-ray version....to add to my collection. The 'extras' in the package are wonderful. My favorite is the feature called 'Facts are Stubborn Things'. It is an 'optional' (but recommended!) feature in which, when activated, will pop-up tidbits of additional historical information throughout the series. Superb acting, stunning scenery, just fantastic all the way around!
What's great about it: A history 'lesson' .....and interesting to boot!
In Ron Howard's thrilling follow-up to the Da Vinci Code, expert symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows ancient clues on a heart-racing hunt through Rome to find the four Cardinals kidnapped by the deadly secret society, the Illuminati. With the Cardinals' lives on the line, and the Camerlengo (Ewan McGregor) desperate for help, Langdon embarks on a nonstop, action-packed race through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, and the most secretive vault on Earth!
