Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Sam Rupani (rupanisp) Lewis ( 28) and Clark (32) took journey to collect information on the Continental United States of America in 1802-1805 for two and a half years.Their age difference is 4. Age Difference of 4 and 8 is very compatible in Chinese Zodiac.They got along very well together.As if ... hey were born only to take this journey on Planet Earth.PS: Continental United States of America is still the same... but Lewis and Clark are gone...
MedevaM This film recently came to the IMAX theater here in Milwaukee. I enjoy all IMAX films, but this one was especially awe-inspiring. Documentary at its best, "Lewis and Clark" educates while entertaining. Maps are skillfully used to show the progress of this great journey west, the actors melt into their roles, and the scenery is breathtaking.
Daniel Marrin I couldn't believe how SHORT this was and yet how substantial the filmmakers managed to make it. You know, while Eyes Wide Shut, The Green Mile, Titanic, and other films are making it seem like "epic" has to mean "ass falling asleep in seat" moviemaking, this film actually manages to achieve the same kind of epic scope, adventure, sense of drama, and sheer wonder yet maintain BREVITY! Believe me, even though it's less than an hour, you're definitely getting your money's worth. What I realized halfway into the film was I wanted to come away from the film with an education about the route that Lewis & Clark took, not just its effect on the country. I think everybody knows that Lewis&Clark explored and opened up the Northwest for the United States, producing questionable effects for the Indians of the time period. However, until seeing this film, I would not have been able to tell you the rivers, nor the states that their crew traversed. I also liked the little details they took the time to put in, like that of Sacagawea and the slave being the first woman and black man officially voting for a decision of the United States of America, that being where to set up Lewis&Clark's winter base camp on the Pacific. The lack of dialogue between the characters (for the most part) is odd, but after a while, you get used to it. It's almost like a return to silent filmmaking somehow, where facial expressions made all the difference. Jeff Bridges provides a commanding and wise presence for the journey, and the score soars. ****
mrow You get a sense of the adventure watching this 70mm presentation, I felt I had a small feeling of what it may have been like to participate in it. The narration is excellent and it is beautifully photographed. The print I saw, at a Regal (formerly an Imax) theatre, was worn and jittery and for this I paid $9 but it was still a great adventure.
