Amazon.com: This spectacular IMAX documentary has been meticulously transferred to provide one of the most stunning DVDs available, with image quality so vivid that it seems almost three-dimensional. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the images themselves are amazing, consisting of some of the finest nature cinematography you're ever likely to see, following a year of seasonal change in the "circle of life" of East Africa's Serengeti plain. Photographed entirely on location in Kenya and Tanzania, the 40-minute film chronicles a natural phenomenon that few humans are privileged to witness in their lifetime: the annual great migration, during which over two million wildebeests, zebras, and antelope travel 500 miles across the plain to ensure their survival. It's an awesome display of natural wonders, and of course there's danger as well as beauty, with lions, crocodiles, and cheetahs among the predators of migrating wildlife. The images range from wondrous to horrifying to hilarious, forming a portrait of life and death that remains powerful even after repeated viewings. The DVD is truly intended for a global audience, with eight optional audio tracks in English (narrated by James Earl Jones), Bavarian, French, Castilian, Catalan, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin. --Jeff Shannon

The title of this review is what the narrator says at the beginning and end of this fantastic documentary (first shown in IMAX theatres) that profiles a place where the equation of life is as follows:
The place profiled is the Serengeti, a huge area of grassland in Tanzania, East Africa. The narrator is Darth Vader himself, James Earl Jones, whose voice adds another dimension to this mesmerizing and revealing film.
Rating: - BEAUTIFUL
The is why you buy blu-ray disk and Plasma TV. The images are off the charts if you are into nature and nature shows this is a must for your collections. AWESOME!!!
Rating: - Wow!
This was a great video if you believe in the Circle of Life. I watched it 3 times in one sitting because I wanted to see more. And each time I watched it, I noticed more detail and heard more facts! Should be viewed w/ low lighting in the room and you'll feel like you're on the Serengeti with James Earl Jones!
Rating: - SUPERB
This is a fantastic armchair look at the Serengetti, a place I'll never see on my own and can only rely on professional cinematographers to make it live. It appeals to all ages and the photography is so vivid, it seems like the animals can come directly through the screen. James Early Jones is the perfect narrator.
Rating: - Africa: The Serengeti (IMAX) [Blu-ray]
The DVD was really good. Great color ect. I have a rather large TV and it showed well, but I was constantly thinking how much better it would be at the IMAX theater. I guess once you have watched a movie or show at the IMAX then it spoils their videos for home use a little. All in all thought, it was worth the watch.
