Wild Safari 3D

This is not a sneak preview review. This movie has already released.

The IMAX theater takes you on a South African safari to hunt the Big Five, the most dangerous and spectacular animals on the continent. The elephant, the Cape buffalo, the rhino, the leopard and the lion are seen close-up in three dimensions on the game reserves of Addo/Shamwari, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Madikwe, Kgalagadi and Kruger National Park. The 3D effect on the huge IMAX screen creates the illusion that you are really there in the wild. It feels like you are actually riding along in the Land Rover with the guide and the tracker traveling through the bush and over rough terrain. Notice the wrinkles and the eyelashes on the elephants, watch the leopard sleekly climb down a tree, and observe a giraffe awkwardly position his legs and bend to get a drink of water. Luckily this ride was over in 40 minutes because Alien was starting to get a touch of motion sickness (how is that for realism). The film content was just okay, but Alien was a sucker for the 3D effects.

Alien gives it 2 “big game hunt” stars out of 4.
