Description
Explore the mysterious Amazon through the amazing IMAX (R) experience and celebrate the beauty, vitality and wonder of this magical rain forest, which is disappearing at an alarming rate. Filmmakers overcame many difficulties to photograph this rarely seen tropical landscape and present it with all the visual power associated with IMAX. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Linda Hunt, this unique collaboration between an American scientist and a tribal shaman on a mission to find rare medicinal plants will amaze and astound you. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC.

Informative DVD December 15, 2007
I got this for my kids and will show it to my Geography class as well. It has very good information and has quality production and narration.
 Was this film sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry? August 18, 2007

In contrast to the other reviews on this website for the IMAX film "Amazon" (which are highly supportive of the film) this review takes a much more critical approach. There was some nice imagery in the film of some of the diversity of the Amazon forest but there was very little explanation to go along with it. The real goal of the movie was to highlight the medicinal value of the plants in the Amazon and then to show how happy the Indian tribes are to give it all away for a fast speed boat or a plane ride. That is simply *absurd*. The Indian tribes are being used and short-changed by the big drugs companies who turn around and patent the active ingredients in the plants that are given to them by the tribes. The tribes get little if anything in return. On the other hand, a drug company can make billions of dollars on a single new drug. This film felt like complete propaganda from the pharmaceutical industry and it is insulting that people actually had to pay money to see this bad film.

So far I have gave 53(I think) reviews and to tell the
truth at 25 was going to quit! At 26 I had a comment
than another and another pretty soon all I was getting
was comments and they were not all neg. No! Most of
them we're positive and from people all over! It is
now July 20th 2007 and most people are excited for
Harry Potter. Not me! I love to get home have dinner
and see what my friends from AMAZON have written.

Enjoyed the scenery in this movie, and was glad I purchased it. Very informative about how we are destroying the coral reefs, and how global warming is affecting the reefs.
Thank YOU! February 24, 2007

Thank YOU for taking me into the Amazon in the comfort of my own house. If it weren't of you guys, I would have never seen these beautiful sceneries that nature has to offer.
