Wordiezett So much average
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) When it comes to American history, especially American expeditions, you need to have a previous interest in order to appreciate the 42-minute documentary with actors, "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West". I did not have such and maybe that's why it did not do too much for me. The nature recordings weren't too impressive and the story is not memorable either, at least to me. I like Jeff Bridges, but somehow his voice was too monotonous here for my taste, which couldn't spark my interest in the story either. I guess this is generally really only worth for a people with great interest in the subject if they are non-Americans. They probably care more about this exploration, just like we care more about history or explorers from our countries, whichever that may be. All in all, not recommended.
TxMike I saw this as a DVD copy of the IMAX presentation. The film is well made and shows in a short form what the expedition consisted of, the obstacles they encountered, the overall success of it. No matter what your political leanings, this expedition 200 years ago was a landmark in exploring the western half of what we now know of the United Sates. I have vacationed in the mountains of Montana, I cannot imagine being a band of men in that era trying to cross those mountains with a boat and supplies. Not only did they try, they reached the Pacific Ocean.As an IMAX film it is obviously very attractive visually. Pains were taken to film in authentic areas. For those who like to learn more about the "behind the scenes" work, there is also an interesting "making of" extra on the DVD. A loan from my local public library.
mslinden82 i just saw this at the omnimax theater in duluth over the 4th of july, and, at first when my parents told me that we were going to be seeing this, i was like, oh god, this is gonna be boring. but i really liked it. i love the whole west area of the country, with the mountains and stuff, and native american history, etc. i've seen very dry boring documentary films before about this same topic, with the only difference being, i believe i will actually remember quite a bit of this one, simply because of the way it was presented. the fact that it was shown on an imax screen added to the enjoyment of this film.(this is my first "movie review" so if it sounds like a big jumbled mess, now you know why :)
Sam Rupani (rupanisp) Lewis ( 28) and Clark (32) took journey to collect information on the Continental United States of America in 1802-1805 for two and a half years.Their age difference is 4. Age Difference of 4 and 8 is very compatible in Chinese Zodiac.They got along very well together.As if ... hey were born only to take this journey on Planet Earth.PS: Continental United States of America is still the same... but Lewis and Clark are gone...
