There aren’t a great many G-rated films opening at theaters these days, so it was a treat to watch this IMAX film on the history of Lewis and Clark. This film can be viewed by the entire family. The scenery is awesome and breathtaking, including snow-capped mountains and camera sweeps rising to peaks and then beyond the peaks. The green woods and cool rapids, snowy fields and rocky cliffs make for a feast of nature for the viewer’s eye.
Jeff Bridges does a nice job narrating, his pleasant voice enhancing and not detracting from the narrative. The actors fit into their various roles like hands in gloves, depicting Lewis and Clark and their expedition in addition to Native Americans. The historical facts which refer to various dates of the expedition and to tribes like the Teton Sioux, were interesting to hear and it was nice to learn that Lewis and Clark remained life-long friends. One of the highlights of their journey for Lewis was his discovery of many plants and animals, and for Clark the many new maps he made as a result of the expedition. We heartily approve this film for everyone in the family and we award five doves to this pleasant viewing experience.
