Careful how you understand the title...
I was really undecided whether to give this 3 or 4 stars, but opted for the lower given that, if you're anything like me, you'll look at the lower reviews to see what's wrong with something rather than the 5 star ones gushing with praise.
That said, my 3 stars are a little unfair. There's nothing wrong with this docudrama except it wasn't what I was expecting...
I'm interested in ships (less so in people!) and so having heard about the Vasa I was interested to learn about the ship - this DVD looked like a good way to see all the details without travelling to Sweden. All the ins and outs of ships carpentry of the date, how the ship was laid down, what the technicalities of frame building might have been, details of the carvings etc. In short I thought it would be all about the physical construction of the woodwork of the ship.
Alas no. It is a docudrama about the people who constructed the Vasa, not about the construction of the Vasa!
A subtle difference, but a big one!
As such the DVD is interesting, hearing about the owners of the shipyard where the Vasa was built and the way the Swedish King financed his warships. It's very interesting in its own right, it's just not what I was looking for.

Easy install solid roof bars
So long as you follow their guidelines regarding what sort of roof fittings these bars will attach to, installation is very straightforward - just a matter of tightening up some bolts with the allen key provided.
Two tiny issues.
Firstly they do whistle a bit, but really only once you're up around 50mph. That's pretty much when they start to whistle and it's not too intrusive. And according to the instructions you're not supposed to go above 55 if you're carrying anything. If it really bothered you or you are particularly fuel conscious then you could always put the bars on and off as needed - it's not a big job.
The clamps at both ends of each bar lock. Or rather, when you turn the key a block of plastic moves in front of the hole you need to access to undo the bolts that hold the bars on. Two keys come with the bars and you'd think that was one to use plus a spare, but no. One key does one end of both bars and the other key does the other end. If you lose a key you can't get a replacement, and if you lose it when the roof bar is on it would seem your only option would be to cut the bar off! I'd have to double check, but I don't think you can have the plastic stops in the open position and remove the key. So you have to lock them which means you have to take care of both keys.
If it wasn't for the lock issue then I'd have given 5 stars. Easy install. Seem to be good quality. Very good price.

The worst film I've ever watched
If I've seen a worse film, I don't remember it. This film has no redeeming features.
Poor plot. Stupidly gory fight scenes that are unconvincing and filmed so hectically that it isn't possible to follow the action anyway.
It says on the front cover "Even more impressive than crouching tiger, hidden dragon" - no wonder that statement is in quotes, otherwise you could sue them for trades description violation. Crouching tiger this isn't. Production values are completely rubbish.
I watched this once - 84 minutes I'll never get back - and then put it straight on the pile of things to go to the charity shop. But I'm wondering if I should spare the charity shop getting a bad reputation and just send it straight to landfill...
