Summary of IMAX Presents - Tropical Rainforest

Digitally mastered from the original 70mm IMAX print with all the stunning clarity and visual sweep that the IMAX presentation can deliver.

Narrated by Geoffrey Holder

Music performances include Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Tropical Rainforest takes you on a 400 millon year journey to illustrate the diversity and beauty of life in the forests, featuring the birds and primates of the forest canopy as well a the insects of the forest floor.

Fom extreme close ups to tree top panoramas, this film lets you experience the forest on its own terms, to better understand and appreciate the wonders of this enangered habitat.

You witness first hand the threats that are placing these magnificent forests in peril.

The documentary is narrated by actor Geoffrey Holder (Ray the Sun from Bear in the Big Blue House), who has a deep voice with a pleasant tone, somewhat akin to that of James Earl Jones. His thick Trinidad accent, however, can be somewhat hard to understand despite the clear diction. A couple of scientists provide supplementary narration, but it is not sufficiently clear who they are or what their relationship is to the rainforest. The film ends with a fitting musical number, "Mbube (Wimoweh) (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)" by the South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. --Kathleen Fennessy
