Greatest Places’ photography is ‘breathtaking’
February 5, 2010 – 4:07 pmSan Diego New Network has posted a review on Giant Screen film, The Greatest Places. The 1998 film is currently playing at San Diego’s Reuben H. Fleet Science Center IMAX theater.
“The Greatest Places” is an IMAX film about seven of Earth’s most beautiful and diverse locations.
These places include Madagascar, Greenland, Tibet, South America’s Amazon River, and the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Though the documentary was first released in 1998, it recently premiered in San Diego at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park.
The filmmakers do a great job of capturing the panorama behind all of the locations. There is also strong narration from actor/musician Avery Brooks, who provides memorable facts about the species and geography of each great place. Though the documentary is only 40 minutes long, each area is given enough screen time to justify why these locations are considered magnificent.
The photography is breathtaking. It’s as though the cinematography pulls the audience into the spectacular images on the screen. The place that visually impressed me the most was the island of Madagascar because of the rare lemurs that inhabit the island and the unique plants, such as the baobab (”upside-down tree”), which is the national tree of Madagascar.
