Summary: Well-produced, interesting movie
Comment: This is a typically well-produced National Geographic movie about the puma. The puma's an elusive animal, and filmmaker Hugh Miles has done an extraordinary job spending two years in Chile filming his subject. The filming is very good, the narration (by Mr Miles) is excellent, and the overall quality of the film is very good.
Why 4 and not 5 stars, then?
Well, maybe I am comparing with wildlife films shot in Africa, which track other big cats that are probably less elusive than the puma and are present in greater numbers. The action in those (African) movies is more explicit and greater in quantity than in this movie about the puma - whether it is about mating, the kills, the giving birth to cubs or family life in general. There's less actual footage about those things in this movie than narration and the filmmaker's descriptions.
For all that, it is a very interesting movie, but it's just not as riveting as some others from National Geographic. Definitely recommended, though.

Summary: Eye Candy
Comment: The majestic mountain lion is filmed scaling daunting and seemingly impossible cliffs over stunning backdrops of some of the most beautiful natural habitats in the world. In my opinion this is truly one of the best-filmed wildlife documentaries.

Summary: Everyone should have this film!!!!
Comment: Hugh miles has captured superbly the secret world of the Puma. He spent two years filming a Puma he called Penny and as is the majesty of Hughs work he has blended together all the elements of his magic with film and sound to produce a film which is one of the true classics in natural history movie making.Hugh takes us into the world of these most secret of all animals and allows us to observe these most beautiful creatures in all there wild and natural glory. This film is a `must have` in anyones wildlife film collection.
