what I expected: a nature show
what I got: a nature show
synopsis: Life on Africa's Serengeti plain is tough, as we see while listening to James Earl Jones narrate.
impressions: Well-done. The camera work is flawless, and they really did a good job of capturing the wild animals in their natural environment. I was also impressed by the sheer wilderness of this wilderness - one of the last such places on the planet. If anything, the film was too short - I wanted to see more!
acting: n/a, but James Earl Jones does a great job of narrating the action.
the good: good animal attack and feeding scenes
the bad: nothing
final word: entertaining nature show
rating: C
