Born to Be Wild

This is a 40 min IMAX feature narrated by Morgan Freeman. It follows two women who struggle to save wildlife being displaced by humans. Birute Galdikas saves orangutans in Borneo and Daphne Sheldrick saves elephants in Kenya.

I didn't see this in IMAX although I don't think that it matters that much in this case. I can see that the big screen would only add to a few smaller sections. Obviously, a big African vista is built for the big screen but the jungle is may be even more impressive. I would love to be enveloped by the jungle on a big screen. The animal close ups are probably also compelling. The movie needs to keep that on the mind when it considers the visual.

As for the two women, they are both coming out of the same mode. I can see why they are put together but it doesn't look too deep. I would like them to show the lost of habitat more visually. The narration tells the audience but the only visual is the mass palm plantation. All in all, it's informative but it's not the most compelling nature doc.
