Movie Reviews of Out of Africa
Movie Review: Still great after all these years
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this recently for the first time since 1985 and was surprised how well it's held up. The photography is the first thing you notice. Then, Meryl Streep's performance. Redford is just ok as the commitment-phobic safari-mad Brit whom Karen Blixen falls for. He hasn't changed much since then, at least on screen. This was big, old-fashioned movie-making by the late Sydney Pollack, and it's still well worth watching. It's a bit less than PC by today's standards in its treatment of the "natives," however.Movie Review: Out of Africa DVD

The story line was great, that's why I bought it, but the quality of the DVD was poor at best. I had to turn the volume all the way up to barely hear it and it had a glitch right in the middle that I have to skip through.
Very poor quality!!!
Movie Review: Out of Africa Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie about a woman named Karen Blixen (played by Meryl Streep who is wonderful) who is married to a man who is a womanizer. They are from Denmark, and he married her for her money, and she married him for his title. She was in love with his brother. Together they bought a plantation in Kenya, and begin to raise coffee, which had never been done there before. He is never home, always off hunting, and she falls in love with the land and its people. She is a very strong woman, and eventually falls in love with another man (Robert Redford). The scenic value of this movie is out of this world, it is breathtakingly beautiful. The acting is good, Meryl Streep & Robert Redford, what else would you expect. No nudity, no language, but I don't think kids would stick with it, it's too long. It's not an 'exciting' movie, per se, it's a long romantic drama. Oh, and did I mention it is a true story.Movie Review: Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of Africa was great. I liked the history and the plot. Robert Redford was very good.
By the way - if you ever watch "Australia" with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, you will regret it. This movie is almost exactly the same as Australia and this one blows Australia out of the water. It was a joke at times. I'd see something and remember the almost exact same sequence in Australia. Pretty pathetic, I think, on Australia's part.
Definitely recommmend this movie.
Movie Review: Out Of Africa
Summary: 5 Stars
This marvelous movie Is and will be forever a classic. Sydney Pollack plus Streep, Redford and the music of John Barry make it so. The finishing touch was the portion of A. E. Houseman's "To An Athlete Dying Young" spoken by Karen over Denys' grave. A most moving and touching story. I have had it for years and it wears well. I saw it for the 1st time on my 50" Plasma. Scrumptious.
