Movie Reviews of National Geographic - Relentless Enemies
Movie Review: The real Lion King
Summary: 5 Stars
This has got to rank among the best documentaries on African wildlife I've ever seen. It focuses on lions and cape buffalo in Botswana's Okavango Delta. Even though lions and cape buffalo are two of the most filmed animals on the savannah, National Geographic - Relentless Enemies manages to capture a lot of interesting and new sequences. Many of the scenes show lions wading through or hunting in swamps. The movie is replete with hunting scenes, often bloody and dramatic, with competing charges from the lion prides and buffalo herds. Later on, hyenas join the fray and chase off lions from their kills.
The footage itself is beautiful, especially on the blu-ray version. The filmmakers really captured Africa's vivid colors, including the bold green of the grasses, blues of the river, and gold of the lions. I had the joy of visiting Africa and seeing lions and cape buffalo up close, and I can say National Geographic - Relentless Enemies is as close as I've gotten to that experience through a documentary. You can even see the flies swarming around the buffalos.
I find it tough to love any wildlife documentary narration except for BBC's David Attenborough, but I thought Jeremy Irons did a great job in National Geographic - Relentless Enemies. Irons (who also voiced Scar from The Lion King) adds a great ominous mood to the film. His opening line captures the relationship between these two animals perfectly: "There are prey, there are hunters... and there are enemies."
