This documentary is about the Great Bear Rainforest and all the amazing animals that live in rainforests such as bears, seals and other creatures. The film shows some amazing people, including children, that study and have a passion for these rainforests and animals. One is an amazing twelve-year-old named Nelson Robinson who studies bears with his dad. There are also a few kids on the bear research team. All of these people love bears and want to make a impact. This film was produced for Imax theaters, but I watched it online. I bet it's awesome in IMAX!
The narrator, Ryan Reynolds is excellent. I likes how the film includes regular people that have a passion studying bears. The point of view showing the bears is good because sometimes we don't see them in a positive light. This film is both educational and entertaining at the same time. It gives lots of facts about the rainforest and the animals that live there which is interspersed with humor and fun clips of extraordinary living animals. That is the best part.
The message of this film is to educate viewers about the importance of preserving the rainforest and its inhabitants before they are gone. Many of them are endangered species, including the spirit bears. This film may have some mature humor, but there is nothing that is not child friendly.
I give this 4 out of 5 stars. It is detailed and fun to watch, but I wanted it to be longer. I recommend this for ages 4 to 18, as well as adults. This is available now in select IMAX theaters so look for it.
