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

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

The women's efforts have already had a fair amount of publicity, so the attraction here is the cinematography, and it makes good use of Imax and 3-D technology, with lovely aerial views and startling close-ups. Read full review

Sticks faithfully to the giantscreen brand's impress-and-educate formula. Read full review

Ironically, Born to Be Wild banks solely on its tameness to captivate and inspire, aided by an upbeat, sometimes incongruous soundtrack. Read full review

If not for its outsize IMAX presentation, this handsome nonfiction film would be little more than an uplifting episode of PBS's "Nature." Read full review

Probably the cutest movie I have ever seen!! It is VERY well filmed and directed. I have seen a lot of animal docs and this is BY FAR the best one. :D I highly suggest seeing it!

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.

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.
