Description
Named Outstanding Film Documentary by the Genesis Awards (the major award for works about animal issues) and filmed in the lush mountain cloud forests of Rwanda, Africa, Mountain Gorilla provides an amazing encounter with the highly social species that is the largest of all primates. Eat, nap, travel, eat, interact, eat: that's a typical routine for adult gorillas. But for rambunctious three-year-olds, the routine is more like play, play, play, play as they tumble, swing, wrestle and twirl. Overseeing all of the troop's activities is the proud, massive silverback male whose dominance is unchallenged - until a young silverback tries to exert his newfound sense of power. DVD Features:
Featurette:Behind-the-Scenes

The history, biology and photography makes this DVD well-worth owning. These beautiful endangered beings need us to help tell their story. I highly recommend this quality presentation.

This is NOT Mighty Joe Young or King Kong, PERIOD! This is a documentary of mountain gorillas. Repeat, a DOCUMENTARY! This film was intended to educate people on the daily life of the gorillas, not provide scripted action. It is only boring to those who do not appreciate the gorillas for who they are, and wish to learn about them. That said, this film does what the producers intended it to do. Hopefully, people WILL learn about the plight of the mountain gorillas, and do their part in the preservation process. We cannot afford to lose these magestic creatures.

This is one of the best videos available that provides a lot of real amazing footage of these amazing critically endangered species. I first rented this DVD and then immediately bought it. A must have. The only thing it did not mentioned is that you can help support the anti-poaching patrols and rangers that protect the park by going to the Dian Fossey website gorillafund.org.

I've heard primatologists say that their research is really boring for the first couple months, before they get to know the fascinating web of social structure of the primate society that they study. This DVD supports those claims.The writers try to make it interesting, giving names to the gorillas, but it's hard to keep them straight (now was that Mbugwe grooming Gmubwe, or vice versa?). But I left with the impression that gorillas spend most of their time eating leaves and relaxing. That may be true, but I think that it's the job of the directors to make eating leaves and relaxing look really really interesting. Maybe get some MTV style quick cuts instead of the lazy slow tracking shots through the jungle. Also, some gorilla fights would be fun. It seems that the film doesn't seem to take advantage of the Imax format. But maybe I just think that because I am watching it on my 13 inch computer monitor.
not bad others are better though October 27, 2002
