Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Patrick Freeman Nowhere have I ever seen a more dramatic and well balanced nature film. The depth and closeness into these animals lives and the moving narrative are unmatched IMO. I have read some of the negative reviews and frankly am stunned how anyone could come away from this beautiful film with anything less than a wonderful experience. the camera shots, the true 'story' ( as created by the animals), the music, the narration, all superb. this is as close to 'the lion king', all true to life, as you will ever see. these moments and bonds between the animals, the instincts, the scenes, it's truly amazing.one reviewer listed in IMDb's 'critics' closed with 'i would rather see the avengers', to which i say - there are just different types of people in this world, can't make a fish like land.i love nature shows, and the footage in some of the 'blockbuster' nature films (blue planet, earth, etc) is spectacular, and i love them too, but nowhere have I ever seen animals 'story' done so rich and true as this. to all who made this film - bravo, bravo!

Wild-n-Free For those who have been on safari and not just any safari but one to the Mara National Game Reserve during the migration season can relate to this movie. Crossing the river has its dangers as I have seen first hand as animals drown and others shredded by the crocodiles. I believe that the film should have come with a strong warning as some viewers perceived the animals to be cute and cuddly like their household pets. The animals of the Mara are wild so do stick to rules and regulations of the park whilst on safari.This film is an upgrade of 'Born Free' as the wild animals are reared with no human contact- just as nature intended. Hence viewers can appreciate the hardships faced by African cats as they grow and roam the wild, unlike the lazy domestic cat that snuggles up to you as it awaits for another can of 'Felix' on its plate.

milimani Now, before I start a short review, let's get a couple things straight...1. The Serengeti is in Tanzania, not Kenya. The part the borders the Serengeti is the Masai Mara, separated by the Mara River.2. Kenya is NOT in Central Africa but in East Africa. Good grief, where do some people get their Geographical knowledge from? As far as Jacksons narration is concerned... Just because he is black doesn't mean he's qualified to talk about Africa. Chances are he's never actually been there.The American habit of turning everything into a homely Disney story is sickening. If you call it a documentary, document, don't even think about turning a wild creature into a cuddly toy story character. They are not.I can only hope this doesn't actually make it into Kenya or anywhere else on the African continent, people might become nauseous.Animal do NOT have human emotions. Stupid script writer do, lions and cheetahs do not write scripts.The wildlife shots are good, after all, even I must be able to say something nice about this but then it was made by Alastaire Fothergill, which sort of speaks for itself.Sorry, but more then 2/10 wasn't possible.If you want to watch something good, just look for any of a huge variety of BBC documentaries. You won't be disappointed there.

lexasdel Simple...This is well produced (if over narrated), has some good scenes and an interesting story.However, if you have ever seen any wildlife documentary funded by the BBC/Attenborough (the brother from the old guy in Jurassic park), then there is little for you in this movie.There is no new information for us; just a completely average, middle of the road Disney-produced Big Cat documentary with a Samuel L Jackson narrative. Good if you've never watched anything similar, average if you have.
