      Audience Member The first IMAX movie I ever saw in Chicago. Wow! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw it on DVD. Would have liked to have seen it on an IMAX screen. Very good documentary Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member sad but totally engrossing Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a documentary that deals with the oil well fires that Saddam Hussein ordered to be set in Kuwait as his military occupation was force out. Much of the action deals with the techniques used to extinguish those oil well fires. This is a stunning film in many ways. When you watch it remember that, in this film, there are no special effects.
