    Although it runs just a fleet 40 minutes, the film proves a rich and memorable journey.

    If you're a mom or dad bringing your own little primates to the movie, that's a good thing.

    Narrator Morgan Freeman manages to be both soothing and somber, so it's not until the credits roll that we realize how much more we want to know.

    Best doc I have seen in a long time. Well filmed and overall put together. Their use of 3D made Avatar look like a re-run of a Smurfs episode. Highly recomend if you care about animals.… Expand

    Adorable...jumps around a little too much (back and forth, back and forth) between the two stories. IMAX views very impressive. Loved every minute of this documentary.… Expand
