Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

egorho I was really looking forward to watching this but it was AWFUL because of two things. 1) The AWFUL music by the Dave Mathews Band. It was a horrible choice for this documentary. The music and the lyrics seriously took away from the documentary. It was too loud and not appropriate. The voices of the band OVERPOWERED the documentary. It was like nails on a chalk board or someone popping gum in your ear. Yes...it was that bad.2) their only needed to be one primary narrator and that should have Ben Robert Redford with some from the I Ian woman and t guy who made it. They guys daughters were a distraction like the music. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! Good intentions but bad decisions on how to produce it.

drystyx This should have been a great experience, even if it was a bit preachy.However, some moron used the noise of one of the least talented people ever in the music business, Dave Matthews, for almost the entire audio. His nerve racking chalkboard on fingernails not only ruins any possible enjoyment, but distracts from whatever else is shown or said.The visuals were working well. Most of us got this tape to see the video, and learn more about the area. True, Redford and gang made this into more of a propaganda film, but the propaganda is based on what I believe to be good Science, simply because it is Science without an agenda. No one gets rich by exposing global warming. Instead, the only corporate interests are in drowning out talk of global warming.But this really shouldn't be about preaching politics. That is a bad format, and politics in a spectacle should be much more subtle. That said, the formula for the film probably could have been more informative than political.The ideas were well founded, and structured in a decent way. This narrative could have been watchable, except for one thing. The grinding of Matthews and his band. It is IMPOSSIBLE for any one not on severe drugs to listen to this more than a few minutes, and we want to hear the narration. Matthews must really hate Redford to ruin his narration with this garbage.This should be remade, with a better band. Of course there is always the chance that the narration will be equally ruined by some of the other no talent big name bands out there.

tkbtkb-1 Beautiful film about a one of the most beautiful places in America. Having just come back from an all-paddle trip down the Colorado, I can guarantee you that the film brought back many spine tingling moments on the river.If you've recently rafted the canyon, you'll recognize many places seen only from the river. If you aren't able to raft the Colorado, this film comes as close as you can possible get without going there.The name of the film is "river at risk", and after spending a week in a canyon with experts, I can certify that the title is aptly named. Yes, the film is part lecture and lesson, but how can you not look at lake levels at the Hoover Dam and not understand the problem.Please don't listen to the that other review posted by the Haliburton CEO. I'm not sure he even went to the movie based on his comments. He's obviously very uneducated.Go see this film. It's enjoyable from beginning to end, exciting, and important.

charlesclayhamm A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Don't waste your time or money. This is not a film about the wonders of the vast Grand Canyon. I was anticipating a film that would explore the flora and fauna, the rock strata, the massive proportions etc. Sadly there was no information about the wonders of the canyon itself. I was not prepared for this propaganda packed film. That it was narrated by Robert Redford should have been the first clue.This is a political/earth-worshiping film designed to guilt you into voting for candidates who "care" about the environment and all the poor Mexican families we are killing by irrigating our crops with water from the Colorado River. You will learn about evil Asian trees that have invaded the canyon floor. You will learn about how a tribe of Indians used to farm the river banks and grow various crops but now the river banks are not suitable for this purpose. Gee...I wonder if that's because the Indians don't live there anymore and have stopped working the soil!?! I know when I stopped weeding my garden it became unsuitable for growing tomatoes. Also, you will learn how your spirit is wounded and needs healing. The good news is that you don't need Prozac, Zoloft or any other psychotropic drug from your doctor. No, all you need to do is "connect" with the mighty Colorado by dipping your hand in its healing flow. Mmm, feel the power! In summary this movie tells us that we have been very naughty- The Kennedy's have discovered our misbehavior- and now we must re-connect with the river and replace our shower heads with new water saving models. If we act quickly we can save the dying Mexican families we've been killing by flushing our toilets and sprinkling our lawns.Save your money and go see Ben Stein's film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed."
