A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
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...
This film recently came to the IMAX theater here in Milwaukee. I enjoy all IMAX films, but this one was especially awe-inspiring. Documentary at its best, "Lewis and Clark" educates while entertaining. Maps are skillfully used to show the progress of this great journey west, the actors melt into their roles, and the scenery is breathtaking.
Visually stunning on a huge IMAX screen, this short film (42 minutes) is an accurate depiction of the epic Army trek to the Pacific commanded by Lewis and Clark. Assuming modern sensibilities, the film shows Native Americans as far more accommodating than they actually were and the end credits tell us that two Indians were killed in a skirmish during the return trip.The scenery is gorgeous, a reminder of how much wilderness we still have and must preserve. For the younger set in particular this film is a good history lesson.For it's genre, 9/10.
You get a sense of the adventure watching this 70mm presentation, I felt I had a small feeling of what it may have been like to participate in it. The narration is excellent and it is beautifully photographed. The print I saw, at a Regal (formerly an Imax) theatre, was worn and jittery and for this I paid $9 but it was still a great adventure.
