What are critics saying?

Chicago Tribune by

One caution: If you get motion sickness, beware, as much of the ride is bumpy and there's some hill-climbing and -descending that some might find disturbing, even in the comfort of an IMAX theater seat.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

For close-up views of large African animals in the wild, this IMAX spectacle is hard to beat. However, the film takes up too much of its brief running time tracking down the photogenic beasts.

The New York Times by Janet Maslin

The cinematic safari's simple pleasures are best experienced with the littlest ticket-holders, who get an edifying thrill ride and a computer-assisted sense of a wider world.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

The 3-D effects are among the most effective ever shot.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

It's informative as far as it goes, but the film's raison d'etre is the simple sight of large wildlife up close and personal, and it's mesmerizing.
