Afrika – Die Serengeti (Short 1994)

Afrika – Die Serengeti: Directed by George Casey. With James Earl Jones. Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains are the landscape we picture when we think of Africa. For millions of years, the drama of survival has played out here and once a year, millions of antelope migrate across this vast grassland to reach fresh pastures and mate.

“Like any nature-log you might see on Animal Planet. But bigger. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe photography is stunning, but somehow I left the theater thinking that they could have made a much more exciting film. Despite the killing scenes, it overall had a serene feel. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd what was up with the balloon people and the tribesmen? Quite tangential and not really belonging with the animal stuff. There wasnu0026#39;t even really much of a connection. At not least one that we saw depicted.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think films like this are a waste of the IMAX medium. I would never knock natural beauty, but why do you need IMAX for that? For REALLY BIG natural beauty? No, the wonderful thing about IMAX is the ability to make you feel like youu0026#39;re there. So SCARE me! Put my heart in my mouth! To see the medium utilized to the fullest, see u0026quot;NASCAR 3-D.u0026quot;”
