Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Yellowstone is a land of constant contrast. Lush, flourishing forests standing next to cracked, gasping landscapes. Half-frozen rivers beside boiling patches of earth. Packs of wolves and a group of filmmakers. Enter this amazing land, and follow our crew as they employ ground-breaking film techniques to create a totally unique experience.

From prehistory to the present, Yellowstone offers an unparalleled look at the indescribable beauty of this national park. Whether soaring over a snow-capped mountain, climbing into the heart of a steaming geyser, or standing in the shadow of a two-ton bear, you'll do things you couldn't otherwise do. While watching Yellowstone, you'll see things no tour guide can show you.

1.0 out of 5 stars One word, "Weak", November 25, 2001

Mark (Highlands Ranch, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yellowstone (Large Format) (DVD)

I own and love many other IMAX DVDs, but this one was a huge disappointment. I never thought a director would need "reenactments" in a film about Yellowstone. I expected plenty of shots of geysers, animals, and scenery, they were very few. I was surprised when I watched it and found very little good to say about it, but one star is all I can give it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, March 4, 2001

By 

rkass (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yellowstone (Large Format) (DVD)

The disappointment was due to my expectations. I was hoping to see lots of wildlife footage, but had to settle for an apparently computer-generated bear in one of the historical reenactments. I also expected more beuatiful scenery of the park --surprisingly absent for an IMAX film. I've seen more interesting documentaries about Yellowstone on television.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money, December 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Yellowstone (Large Format) (DVD)

I am a fan of IMAX movies in general, own several and have seen dozens. This one is the worst. I want to see IMAX movies to see stunning images of places that I likely will not ever get to visit in person. For example: in IMAX theatres I have been able to visit, via film, the Russian space station, participate in a climb of Mount Everest, explore underwater caves, etc. THAT'S why I want to see IMAX movies.

The IMAX producers however, have put out several movies which are very short on those stunning images and long on filler material which consists mainly of new age propaganda and historical re-enactments. To some degree one has to put up with this stuff in most IMAX movies, but it can usually be overlooked if you're not interested. However, in Yellowstone, the producers made a short movie of only about 30 minutes and then packed in about 25 minutes of this garbage. The viewer only gets to see the stunning sights of Yellowstone for a few minutes. Those sights are indeed excellent, but its far too little, far too late. This DVD is a total waste of time and money and should be avoided. IMAX Producers: you should be ashamed of yourselves!
