DVD Description
Dan Brown’s novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’ is a global phenomenon. The best-selling factual guide to The Da Vinci Code is Simon Cox’s book ‘Cracking the Da Vinci Code.’ Since its publication in 2004, it has sold over 500,000 copies in the UK alone to become the number 1 source for those searching to uncover Da Vinci’s Code. This Collector’s Edition features the original and official DVD of ‘Cracking the Da Vinci Code and a second DVD of Leonardo Da Vinci’s artistic masterpieces. Also included is an illustrated booklet with an A-Z of the main points of interest within ‘The Da Vinci Code.’

The official DVD of Simon Cox’s bestseller is presented by the author and contains interviews with Dan Brown. Simon Cox takes a team of assembled experts investigate the places, paintings and debates that continue to rage over the legend of The Holy Grail and Christ’s blood-line. The ancient secrets that are the inspiration for Dan Brown’s book are reviewed and assessed by the experts.

The second DVD in the box set is ‘Da Vinci’s Genius’ which contains high resolution images of Leonardo’s art and design such as The Last Supper, Madonna of the Rocks, and other paintings which were extensively used in The Da Vinci Code. Nearly an hour of music, art and information are contained in this DVD which can be appreciated, enjoyed and studied on any television but is visually stunning on a plasma screen.

Customer Reviews

Production quality
This DVD is of a dreadfully low production quality. It would appear that the author simply placed himself in front of a camcorder and pressed record. Location footage had a distinct hidden camcorder feel. Other interviews have appalling sound quality and the American narrator does not even pronounce Thames properly. Save your money as I am asking for mine back.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
I was wondering if I could be bothered writing this. But I thought of you, future buyer. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS I DID, DON'T BUY this. It is an outrageous amateur package of appallingly poor audio & video quality not worthy of Dan Brown's masterpiece. I am not talking about the controversy about the code; everybody is entitled to their opinions; I am talking about the extremely poor quality of this shamefull piece of video. it's a rip off!!

Unbelievably poor!
I have never found the need to give a bad review before but this package is worthy of condemnation. The filming is unbelievably amateurish and the background music is inappropriate throughout and particularly annoying when played whilst the experts talk.

Sound quality is variable and placing this with the other criticisms makes this a production that the purchaser will not want to watch or listen to. Indeed one star is too good for this.
