Movie Reviews of Wolves
Movie Review: Good content - great images - bad format
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the production and logic of the documentary. I did not like the format on my TV. Maybe because I have a "plain" flat screen TV without high-def ... but the film had a border around it. I have watched other IMAX films without this distraction.
I was disappointed so much time went to historical persecutions of wolves, but that is a dark part of american history: how the settlers/government persecuted Indians, wolves and buffalo to near extinction. One of our national disgraces, really. Not expected on a feature on "wolves".
I have to allow for others who may not have been in nature conservation like I was, though.
Maybe this will inspire someone to sponsor a wolf, and learn even more. the program is online, just search on google.
I learned a few things about wolves, which is saying something for someone who studied to be a veterinarian!
Shows how Nez Perce are helping reestablish wolves today.
Worth a look. Not too violent for most kids, though there is footage of a hunter shooting a wolf at close range, in BW film.
Movie Review: Weird format on Plasma screen
Summary: 2 Stars
This is great film at an IMAX theater, but for some reason, when you plug in the DVD, you have this weird smaller square in the middle of the screen showing the movie, surrounded by a still background. The movie takes up about 2/3 of the screen. I can't explain it. I have a regular 42" Plasmas TV, I don't have the same problem with other DVD's.Movie Review: Not very satisfying at all.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this DVD based on all the glowing revues but the film was extremely disappointing.
The footage of wolves was not very interesting and the scenery was also not particularly beautiful or dynamically shot. The music is not inspiring and worst of all, the very short length made me feel like I had been ripped off (although I will say my particular seller made this item a positive experience so I don't want to leave any negative impression on the seller). I am baffled by the over the top positive revues and wish I had listened to the one negative revue. Since this was made for IMAX I can understand the short length but most IMAX films I've seen are amazingly beautiful. This would have been a waste of IMAX time. I bought this film for research on wolves and after watching it once, can't imagine I will be watching again. I do appreciate the efforts the film maker is making for conservation of the wolf species but with such a short running time I would have rather been wowed by the species not just preached at. The film should describe itself as a plea for more conservation, not a thrilling look into the world of wolves.
