4.0 out of 5 stars Short But Sweet, June 25, 2009

By	J. Marshall "Jbug" (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a tight look at the life of a Peruvian man as he journeys to the Amazon in search of medicines not available to his people. The story strays here and there to look at wildlife and other facets of the Amazon region. I liked this enough to buy it and the picture quality is right on the money for high definition as is the audio quality. I'd like to see a documentary strictly on the wildlife and plants with the same PQ and AQIt's a short film but you don't feel cheated.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great short and casual view of the Amazon, October 1, 2009

By	K. B. Emmerling - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The documentary is really quite astonishing in its picture quality and imagery. While relatively short, like other Imax films, it provides a general overview of different areas of the Amazon region.
