Galapagos (1999)

Member Rating:

Directors Al Giddings and David Clark, whose previous credits include Galapagos: Beyond Darwin, return to the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands for this IMAX documentary. The film focuses on the work of Smithsonian-based biologist Carol Baldwin and outlines Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection. Highlights include footage of the giant Galapagos tortoise and the Galapagos iguana, which perfectly camouflages itself against the gray rock on which it suns itself. Kenneth Branagh narrates. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

I wasn't overly impressed with this movie. It's a personal story of exploring the Galapagos, and it doesn't go deeply into to any aspect -- either Charles Darwin, or the differences between the same species on different islands. The coolest part of the movie is when Carol Baldwin takes a little submarine down into the deeps. The part of the sub where she and the driver sit is a sphere of glass, and the sub has robotic parts. The recently aired Galapagos series on the National Geographic Channel is better (and also longer). I wondered if this movie was actually trying to avoid a discussion of evolution.

I thought it was very interesting with beautiful photography of both land & underwater. I would have liked more scenes of animals & birds since they are so unusual. It also seemed to be filmed on just one of the islands. I would like to have seen more of the others as well.
