The Disney+ Earth Day special "Explorer: The Last Tepui,” from National Geographic, follows elite climber Alex Honnold (“Free Solo”) and a world-class climbing team led by National Geographic Explorer and climber Mark Synnott on a grueling mission deep in the Amazon jungle as they attempt a first-ascent climb up a 1000 foot sheer cliff. Their goal is to deliver legendary biologist and National Geographic Explorer Bruce Means to the top of a massive “island in the sky” known as a tepui. The team must first trek miles of treacherous jungle terrain to help Dr. Means complete his life’s work, searching the cliff wall for undiscovered animal species.

Aaron S 07/18/2022 A slight but very cool feature that has a bit of everything for a good outdoor exploration doc. While it is short and the outcome from the excursion seems a little superfluous given the initial intent to the casual viewer like myself, I am sure for Bruce and other biologists it was anything but. The doc provides a lot of great mountain climbing shots and the top of the tepui truly looks like an alien world. Very good for what it is. See more 05/12/2022 It is awesome, beautiful, well film and explains a lot of our undiscovered planet. Very educational documental. Love it. Want to see more of them, please See more 04/30/2022 Visually stunning and a much needed message, but feels too short when they could have shown us more See more 04/23/2022 This doco was about an old dude with money who paid an expert team to climb through dangerous terrain then scale a cliff to find some tadpoles. He must have been pretty arrogant to think he could make it. The climbing/hiking team was cool, hence for my two stars.
