Island of Lemurs: Madagascar (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD UltraViolet Combo Pack With Bonus Blu-ray 3D) [3D Blu-ray]

The 3D IMAX movie and the 3D video was wonderful - It was meant to be seen in 3D. Yes it was short - not a negative. One reviewer wrote that it was a huge disappointment. I'm wondering if this person saw it in 3D. I am a 3D hobbyist and photographer and saw the 3D IMAX and viewed the 3D video on a 3D home TV.The 3D was beautifully done - wonderful 3D photography. I also read where a teacher showed the video to her class and that it was enjoyed by all of her students. I'm sure that the students saw the "flat" version. I can only imagine their response if they saw it as it was meant to be seen - in 3D.The video was quite informative as well. This video is a must if you have a 3D TV. I don't intend to view the flat version.

I saw this in an Imax theater a while back. My son is really into animal documentaries and such (especially about lemurs), so I thought this might be good because I remembered how much I had enjoyed it. Upon watching it again, I realized how much I did like it - but also that because it was narrated the way it was, it wasn’t great for kids. It did not hold his attention past the first ten minutes. I really enjoyed the narration, but it was rather sophisticated. As long as kids aren’t watching it, it’s an amazing documentary that is also visually stunning.

Lemurs are wonderful. So beautiful, amazing athletes, friendly and kind. They are having trouble maintaining a foothold on Madagascar, the only place where they live. Many efforts are being made to ensure their survival and health. This movie will be a contribution as it educates and entertains at the same time. Seeing the lemurs co-operate in groups, bond with new lemurs, swing in trees, climb almost vertical surfaces with ease is mesmerizing.Loved the lemurs, of course, and Morgan Freeman's wonderful voice. If you haven't seen him as Henry Deacon on "Eureka", you should. It's on Amazon. Not liked are the musical effects which the lemurs don't need! They're sort of Disney-ish. One time that the music makes sense is when the lemurs leap and dance as if they were in a ballet. Classical ballet music would have been more appropriate.Lovers of lemurs will be gratified by this film, and those unacquainted with lemurs will fall in love.

Yes, it shows lots of adorable furry (and amazing) creatures but also a deep exploration of the importance of the entire biosphere to the life of each and every living being, of which humans form an intrinsic part. Sensitive, well researched (they collaborated with the top lemur research centers in the world) and incredibly fun.

I absolutely love lemurs! This was such a cute movie.

Enjoyed this movie and was enjoyed it arrived as soon as it did doing so in superb condition which I am sure is the reason the dvd played so well. Thanks.

I got this for my grandsons after seeing it last year at IMAX theater with them. They talked about Lemurs for weeks afterward, so this was a perfect surprise for them. They love the movie and so do i. It's beautifully done and narrated and will continue to be a favorite for a very long time.

Lemurs are awesome! Too bad they play second fiddle to humans in this well-intentioned but curiously people-centered video. Got it for my 7-year-old grandson who is in crush mode over lemurs, but even he stood up and left in the middle. I watched it all, and of course liked it, but not so much as other reviewers. I appreciate the threat of human encroachment, and do want to know about the research, but more lemur info and screen time would have been an improvement. This is more about researchers and preservation than about the animals themselves. If that is your major interest, then go for it!
