Audience Member Fairly interesting eco-documentary about the water-starved Colorado river, following ecologist Wade Davis as he tracks the changes and braves the rapids. The 3D Imax cameras only really come into their own during these brief sequences. Robert Redford contributes a bland narration and there's a surplus of music from an outfit called The Dave Matthews Band. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched this instead of going dog-sledding because my school sucks. Many reasons to hate it. Thankfully the cinematography is nice enough Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I absolutely hated this film. The most uninteresting movie I have ever had the displeasure of viewing. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember when I first got my 3D TV I was desperate to buy this, it looked amazing, and I couldn't wait to experience the depth and beauty of the Grand Canyon. When I got round to watching it I was a bit disappointed, purely because the repetition of camera shots of the Canyon and the dull narration was giving me a bit of a headache. But now I have re watched it and my mind has changed! I love all the cinematography, it's stunning, the narration still has a few dull spots but you don't have to pay attention as the 3D is immersive enough to distract you. Water splashing into my glasses and amazing close ups of the Canyon edges, it was breathtakingly shot along with plenty of pop out the screen moments, I did like some of the information and people featured in the documentary, it was interesting. The best part of this experience is the water rafting as it was so exciting! River At Risk gives you a new dimension and viewpoint of the Canyon, and it will take you on a fun adventure. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member PHENOMENAL!! Narrated by Robert Redford with great music by the Dave Matthews Band, this powerful and thought-provoking IMAX 3D documentary is about the threat to the Colorado River at the Grand Canyon. It explains the growing shortage of fresh water and what we can do to help our environment because we are ALL in this together! The Grand Canyon shots and the thrilling ride through raging rapids and breathtaking canyons was captured beautifully by the Imax cameras and it felt like you were going down the rapids..Spectacular 3D effects on this one...Sweeping aerial shots as well to be enjoyed on a big screen HDTV make this one a must see and buy blu-ray!! I cannot stress enough to WATCH THIS IMAX DOCUMENTARY IN 3D!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, the Grand Canyon as I'll never see it otherwise. This 3D IMAX feature (on Blu-Ray 3D) is shockingly real with amazing sights. Of all the 3D programs I've seen so far, this is the best (closely followed by the NASA spacestation 3D). When you watch this, I suggest: 1) don't hold anything in your hands as you will need to grab your arm rest to hold on thru the rapids and 2) bring a towel--your going to get wet.
