Member Rating:  
Yellowstone National Park has been a popular tourist destination since Teddy Roosevelt declared the land a nature preserve. With the amazing geysers, hot springs, picturesque mountains, and towering old growth forests, this park has everything any nature buff could want. Yellowstone is a virtual tour of this nature showcase that far exceeds any other film that has attempted to capture the splendor of this patch of heaven. Originally filmed in the IMAX format, Yellowstone (a Slingshot Entertainment release) was intended to make the viewer feel as if they were soaring up sheer cliffs and circles snow peaked mountains. With 32 minutes of visual enlightenment to behold, this film may be even better than actually standing in Yellowstone. Would you be able to climb into a geyser and see it from the inside? Would you want to actually be standing in the path of a two-ton grizzly? More than likely, no, and that is why director Kieth Merril placed the camera in these unique situations. This film is meant to thrill and educate, and to give unique perspectives that are nearly impossible for humans to achieve. ~ Ed Atkinson, Rovi

    Certainly a let down from what could have been a truly spectacular film. Minimual amount of time spent exploring the beauty and history of the park. (Did Michael Moore have a hand in this???)

    I saw VERY LITTLE of the park and TOO MUCH poor, historical re-enactments from Native Americans to early adventurers who stumbled upon the park. The music was overblown, and while there were some nice aerial shots of a few areas of park, this is absolutely NOT the DVD to order if you want to really see the geological wonders that make Yellowstone unique (so few are shown, one wonders why this movie was even made). Would absolutely not recommend!

    Pointless. Disjointed. Infantile. If the intended audience was some 2nd-graders, then, possibly, this movie would be acceptable - IF THERE WERE NO ALTERNATIVES! But if your intention was to learn anything but the most banal of the superficial (rather than assist with a future visit or, well, to know much more than once Indians lived in Y'stone), then this movie is for you!

    Yes   |   No
