Its gently delivered theme and friendly images of nature (no lions eating antelopes here), this is a fine thing for families and school groups.
-
60What the movie lacks is contrast. The sped-up ribbons of traffic in a city look as pretty as the interior of a redwood grove. As for the perils of logging, one brief shot of a clear-cut forest flashes by so quickly it is almost subliminal.
-
60Despite his obvious passion, Long never fully ties together the human and animal footage, and so the film feels disjointed, as if two different documentaries are being fused into one.
-
50In this well-intentioned celebration of nature and traditional ways of life, giant-screen images feel generic when they should inspire wonder.
