The great accomplishment of "The Serengeti Rules" is that it directs the viewer to see beauty in the way an ecologist might. Go to Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 05/08/2019
Being more conventional than it thinks doesn't keep the often beautifully shot doc from showing how what we were taught in high school might be faulty, and pointing toward ways of fixing seemingly permanent scenes of destruction. Go to Full Review Ron Wilkinson It's Just Movies 11/11/2019

10/28/2019 ‪The Serengeti Rules is well shot and has great intentions. It’s certainly more educational than entertaining, though, and takes time to settle into the story. Still, the admirable message of preserving our natural world is worthwhile.‬ See more 08/04/2019 Will forever change the way you think about global and regional eco-systems. See more l g 05/31/2019 Excellent Doc. Well done. Saw it at a non-profit that I am a paid member of. One of the benefits is a lower ticket price. It would cost $2.50+ more to purchase through Fandango, so I'll have to remain "unverified". :( See more Read all reviews
