Amazon.com Though the antagonist in many a legend, wild canines such as wolves and coyotes are among the least understood mammals in North America today. With the help of the National Wildlife Federation, IMAX has created with Wolves a dramatic collection of breathtaking images from air and land of Yellowstone National Park as well as a documentary about the restoration of Canis lupus to the U.S. West. The movie is divided into 12 chapters exploring various aspects of wolves' habitat and recovery from Idaho to Canada's Laurentide Reserve, including one chapter on social and family structures in wolf packs. The DVD's special features include German, Japanese, and French soundtracks, trailers, and a documentary The Making of Wolves. --Erik Macki

Good content - great images - bad format March 24, 2008 I liked the production and logic of the documentary. I did not like the format on my TV. Maybe because I have a "plain" flat screen TV without high-def ... but the film had a border around it. I have watched other IMAX films without this distraction.
I was disappointed so much time went to historical persecutions of wolves, but that is a dark part of american history: how the settlers/government persecuted Indians, wolves and buffalo to near extinction. One of our national disgraces, really. Not expected on a feature on "wolves".
I have to allow for others who may not have been in nature conservation like I was, though.
Maybe this will inspire someone to sponsor a wolf, and learn even more. the program is online, just search on google.
I learned a few things about wolves, which is saying something for someone who studied to be a veterinarian!
Shows how Nez Perce are helping reestablish wolves today.
Worth a look. Not too violent for most kids, though there is footage of a hunter shooting a wolf at close range, in BW film.
Weird format on Plasma screen January 9, 2007 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is great film at an IMAX theater, but for some reason, when you plug in the DVD, you have this weird smaller square in the middle of the screen showing the movie, surrounded by a still background. The movie takes up about 2/3 of the screen. I can't explain it. I have a regular 42" Plasmas TV, I don't have the same problem with other DVD's.

And that is the way it was and is intended. Sharing this planet with other persons (we call animals) is essential to our well being. WE are all related and what happens to any spoke in the wheel of life will surely come to impact on the rest of us. This film should be required viewing at an age when opinions on the value of life is being determined.
Wow, is the only reaction to this masterpiece. February 16, 2004 29 out of 31 found this review helpful
Well, this is a quick review, well the first one, since I own this movie, and it's amazing, anyone who ever like wolves, and would like to know more, or see them in their environment must have this DVD.The story, well it's a documentary, but it's very rich, from normal basic info on the wolves themselves (like life span, birth etc...) All the way to the complex human relation toward the wolves, which is sad in general.
Quality, definitely a 10/5 it's just unbelievable, some scenes are so detailed, it's never been seen like that before on DVD (since IMAX is so big, once shrunk for DVD/T.V. screen, the details are just the most mazing thing ever. Music, perfect, the Native music match exactly what it should be, and the richness of it, touch our harts, and fallow the life of the wolves. Last, the extra, a whole 1h + movie on the wolves from the park, and (as indicated on the DVD) extra deleted scene from the original presentation, trailers for wolves and others IMAX DVD, it's a must have!!! So why are you still ready, go buy it, watch it and enjoy it !!!
Howl-Out for WOLVES February 2, 2003 Wolves are poorly judged animals. For years they have been hunted down by cause of fear. Now, the wolf is a symbol of what humans have done wrong, and what humans can do to help restore the wildlife. The year 2000 was the first time I ever got to see WOLVES played on the Imax dome at the Liberty Science Center (LSC). Right from the start, I was so amazed at every little detail. The Native American music was exceptionally good. The movie was so great, I convinced my school to take a field trip back, then saw it once more on my own, and ended up seeing in three times all together. The DVD proves to be just as great, but nothing could compare to the excitement of seeing it from the dome. The movie was well put together. Every moment of it is truly an exciting experiance. Nobody should miss out of a documentary as astonishing as this one.
