Absolutely great! I have it on video and replaced the video with DVD.
Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding, Jr. are definately two of my most favorite actors.

Movie Review: The dichotomy of reviews tells you something
Summary: 5 Stars
I remembered loving this movie, and coundn't remember why. Tonight, I looked online at Amazon to read what folks had said about it, and found a fascinating difference in the reviews. One the first "page" are 7 reviews. Here are the Titles of the positive reviews (4.9 ave rating):
Awe inspiring
Good bye -- illusions
EXCELLENT MOVIE/Guaranteed to shed a tear!!!,
Out of the box
A Must See
This movie is about control
one of the most important movies ever made
These words from a negative review:
"nature versus civilization is always a rich topic--it's that Instinct boils them down to inane sound bites."
Bottom line: You might love this movie or dislike this movie, but there is something interesting to discover in either case. Those who believe in the premise love it, and those who don't believe in the premise do not. I've never seen any movie that can better serve as a basis for significant spiritual conversation as this movie can.

Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely a GREAT movie, Instinct, brings to the screen the story of a scientist studying gorillas in Africa who after being "lost" for two years re-appears as a psychopath prisoner charged with multiple assaults and double murder. A young psychiatrist is then given the task of "evaluating" the patient, though what he finds is more than he bargained for...
Anthony Hopkins, Cuba Gooding Jr., and the rest of the cast have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are extraordinary to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! The film is simple enough, but does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. It just goes to show that simplicity is often far better than complexity, when trying to present issues of a human nature.
The plot, the setting, the dialogues, and the music, are all WONDERFUL!
Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection (if you haven't already done so)!
In conclusion, it is one of those films that gets you and keeps you thinking long after it's over.
Movie Review: Out of the box
Summary: 5 Stars
A superb flick. I have recommended it to a number of friends. This is a movie the makes you look at life and ultimately yourself. In my experience, few like what is seen. For those that think outside the box, this is a good thing. You've the oppurtunity to act upon this new insight. In such cases, 'Instinct' becomes more than just another trip through Hollywood; shifting instead into a life altering event.
If you have not seen it, then I suggest you do so; BUT(always a but), go in prepared to give some heavy thought to what the movie has to say. This is no 'Matrix' which stuns you with it's special affects. 'Instinct' is a movie of the mind. One can view it as such or (more than likely) be disappointed.
Movie Review: Good bye -- illusions
Summary: 4 Stars
I became interested in this movie after reading the book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn and learning from a friend that this movie was based on the book. It was a very good movie and Anthony Hopkins is wonderfully persuasive but all the suggestion from "Ishmael" there seems to be is just that living in nature is better than living in civilization. There was nothing that indicated the precariousness of civilization - "takers" are mentioned but it comes across more as you just don't know what you are missing by being one - not that all of nature has had it. Heck, the movie makers would be shooting their own business in the foot if they were really to try and convince us to head back to the trees. But of course that was the main point of "Ishmael". If we don't give up being takers and go back to being part of nature, then nature has had it and so have we.
