I've enjoyed three safaris myself. Of course, a theater will never give you the actual experience of the Serengeti and film can never replace vision, but the images here are abundant with high quality animal life and rich with animal emotion.

Rated: 3.5/4

While Africa is completely absorbing, it's best viewed as a primer to the subject matter. With its 40-minute run time, viewers are able to grasp only a surface understanding of the material.

Rated: 3/4

The film is ... an impossibly lucky safari delivered with a soft touch of science and philosophy.

Brief and to the point telling the story of the migrations of the Serengeti Wildebeasts and the predators and obstacles they overcome. It is beautiful, powerful and raw at the same time.

Great visuals and soundtrack. Despite all IMAX movies being quite short this one felt just long enough given the content. I didn't realize it's 16 years old now and it still looks as good as new on the IMAX screen.

Some breathtaking pans over Africa, but I could have done without the generous use of the fish-eye lenses. The history lesson is also quite a bit off.
