Mountain Gorilla (IMAX)

Summary: When your subject is boring, so is your movie
Review: I've heard primatologists say that their research is really boring for the first couple months, before they get to know the fascinating web of social structure of the primate society that they study. This DVD supports those claims.

The writers try to make it interesting, giving names to the gorillas, but it's hard to keep them straight (now was that Mbugwe grooming Gmubwe, or vice versa?). But I left with the impression that gorillas spend most of their time eating leaves and relaxing. That may be true, but I think that it's the job of the directors to make eating leaves and relaxing look really really interesting. Maybe get some MTV style quick cuts instead of the lazy slow tracking shots through the jungle.

Also, some gorilla fights would be fun.

It seems that the film doesn't seem to take advantage of the Imax format. But maybe I just think that because I am watching it on my 13 inch computer monitor.

Summary: not bad others are better though
Review: this is okay and interesting subject matter, but not as good as many other IMAX films-favorite places is one of the best
