Movie Reviews of Kilimanjaro - To the Roof of Africa (Large Format)
Movie Review: Great Overview
Summary: 5 Stars
In short: If you're thinking about climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, or just interested in East Africa, this is a great documentary. And you can get it brand new from an Amazon partner for only $5.00-- GREAT value in my opinion. Just buy it.
Details: I climbed Kilimanjaro (Rongai route) over New Year's 2009; then I discovered this DVD a couple of months after the fact & decided to order. I like it because it gives my family/friends a great IMAX quality overview of the mountain, and is a great supplement to my personal slides/video (*I returned with about 1,500 of my own pics, and about 3 hrs of hi-def video). I like the DVD's musical score, as well.
The 'plot' of the DVD follows a style I've seen in a number of other IMAX films-- following a group of otherwise ordinary individuals as they tackle an out-of-the-ordinary task (climbing Kilimanjaro, in this case). If there is anything particularly inaccurate, it's the lack of porters in the video (no, not ONE porter is shown in the entire presentation) and also the lack of other hiking groups on the mountain. [the IMAX group seems to be completely alone, whereas my experience was one of at least dozens if not hundreds of other hikers]. Still, the purpose of the video is NOT to be a detailed hiking guide, but rather to give viewers an idea of the scope and grandeur of the mountain. This it does very well.
To reiterate: great movie, great value
