Summary: "There is a place on Earth where it is still the morning of life and great herds run free"
Comment: XXXXX
The title of this review is what the narrator says at the beginning and end of this fantastic documentary (first shown in IMAX theatres) that profiles a place where the equation of life is as follows:
(1) Herbivores eat plants.
(2) Carnivores eat herbivores.
The place profiled is the Serengeti, a huge area of grassland in Tanzania, East Africa. The narrator is Darth Vader himself, James Earl Jones, whose voice adds another dimension to this mesmerizing and revealing film.
Here's a sampling of what you will see:
(1) The Great Migration (a sight few have seen and considered a great wonder of the world)
(2) "One of the natural wonders of the world"
(3) One of the "most famous archaeological sites on Earth"
(4) A sampling of millions of diverse creatures found here including the "horses of Africa"
(5) The proud people who live here
(6) Miracles of the Serengeti
My knowledge of the Serengeti before viewing this film was...nothing. I found this film a great and exciting way to be introduced to this important region of the world. You couldn't ask for better cinematography and photography.
I found the background music throughout to be interesting and unique.
What I especially liked was that the narrator did not attempt to overwhelm me with too many details. I got the impression that only the most important and interesting information was carefully selected and presented.
Finally, the DVD itself (the one released in 2005) is perfect in picture and sound quality. It has no extras.
In conclusion, there is indeed a place on this planet where it is still the morning of life and the great herds run free. This place has been captured for all to see in this extraordinary film!!
(1994; 39 min; wide screen; 13 scenes)

Summary: Wow!
Comment: This was a great video if you believe in the Circle of Life. I watched it 3 times in one sitting because I wanted to see more. And each time I watched it, I noticed more detail and heard more facts! Should be viewed w/ low lighting in the room and you'll feel like you're on the Serengeti with James Earl Jones!

Summary: SUPERB
Comment: This is a fantastic armchair look at the Serengetti, a place I'll never see on my own and can only rely on professional cinematographers to make it live. It appeals to all ages and the photography is so vivid, it seems like the animals can come directly through the screen. James Early Jones is the perfect narrator.

Comment: The DVD was really good. Great color ect. I have a rather large TV and it showed well, but I was constantly thinking how much better it would be at the IMAX theater. I guess once you have watched a movie or show at the IMAX then it spoils their videos for home use a little. All in all thought, it was worth the watch.
