Critic Reviews for Amazon Adventure

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1)

The film sets about its task in the same spirit of wide-eyed wonder as its subject, using movie art to bolster its science, and thereby retooling the Imax screen to serve as a high-powered microscope.

Guardian
Slee's film boasts such a high level of writing, acting, and overall production polish that youngsters may be fooled into thinking they're watching a mindless blockbuster, when in fact, they've actually been fooled into thinking.

Peter Debruge
Variety
Stunning photography - perhaps the last time anyone will haul IMAX cameras into the Amazon - a bit of adventure, and a solid, simple, inspirational science lesson. Everything an IMAX doc should be.

MaryAnn Johanson
Flick Filosopher
An educational, inspiring tale of naturalist Henry Bates' determination, grit, and awesome exploration of the Amazon

Common Sense Media
It's the kind of earnest, but increasingly patience-trying film, that will be best appreciated by viewers in search of an educational experience rather than a thrill ride.

Michael D. Reid
Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)
Stunning 3D macro-photography and an adventurous spirit lift this frustratingly cursory recreation of an 11-year journey of discovery.
