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.
IMAX- Mountain Gorilla This is a great documentry about one of our cloesest living relatives: the mountain gorilla. This film is full of great entertainment and wonderful scenes.
In Rwanda, we see a family of gorillas that is ruled by a powerful silverback, named Umigumi. We watch as his troop get along in their seemingly peaceful lives in the mountain rainforests of Rwanda, Africa.
I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who loves gorillas and apes in general. It's a great price for a great movie. And trust me, it is worth the price for such an entertaining and beautiful documentry.
Amazing!!! A wonderful film! For me, a great nature documentary transports you into the world of the subject and Mountain Gorilla does just that. I think that my blood pressure was significantly lowered while viewing this great film, with it's fascinating subject matter and absolutely breathtaking scenery. My only complaint is that the film was too short, at 39 minutes.
A stunning movie! 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.
Take it for what it is 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.
Excellent Mountain Goirlla DVD 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.
