Movie Reviews of National Geographic - Lewis & Clark - Great Journey West
Movie Review: A film that leaves you longing for more.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps the only film I would ever give five stars to for failing to live up to my expactations. This may be the very best over simplification of the Lewis and Clark jorney we are ever likely to see and as such it serves as a wonderful introduction to the subject.
Produced as a imax film, it doesn't have the "National Geographic" feel and the visual impact is striking. Artistically the producers limited the story by condensing, skipping material, and reducing the overall scale by showing fewer people than took part. All of that falls under the catogory artistic licence so i didn't really mind.
What most disappointed me was the failure to properly portray the impact this trip by a handful had on the entire country. It was not simply that they had succeeded, but that they fired the imagination of a nation and made the leaders and people realize the true expanse of a country just in its youth.
As others have said - if the oportunity comes to see it in Imax - don't miss it!
