04/16/2011 good doc interesting material See more 01/06/2011 Great 3D...a little too great. I almost got sick. Not my favourite Imax 3D. See more 01/06/2011 I would be scared to be sitting on the front of the truck with lions roaming free. See more 01/06/2011 Camera angle a little bit shaky, not one of the best IMAX's I've seen but not bad either. See more 01/06/2011 Good, but too short and not the best vehicle for a 3D medium See more 01/06/2011 Interesting safari film, hampered by the gimmick of actually being in the truck.
