Mystery of the Nile (2005)
My Favorite Adventure Documentary of all time!!
This was one of the last great adventures left on the planet! The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and I imagine would be even more beautiful watching the film in Imax. Pasquale Scaturro is a modern day Henry Morton Stanley, and is a wonderful all around person. There doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of river expeditions like this film follows left any more, as our planet is constantly being explored,
The only thing that could make this film better would be if it was remastered in 4K UHD. I have also purchased the soundtrack to this documentary as well - it is phenomenal! There is also a Spanish import of the soundtrack available on Apple Music for subscribers.
Africa (1999)
I liked the scenery and sound track
Thought the scenery and music to the movie were great! I would but the Soundtrack if one existed, because I liked the African-themed music. The animals were cool, and the scenery of Africa is mysterious and awesome. You never know what animal is there to eat you. Man (or woman is not on the top of the food chain in Africa!)
The story and dumbness of the movie, not so much. The lead actress is a mess, and manages to survive despite easy things that could easily save her. The story ignores obvious thing that could have lead the lead actress to safety, and lack of common sense takes away from the movie. Writers should have spend a little more time detailing a better story than the framework the movie is built around, a hot, spoiled girl trying to survive in the wildness, unsung her past experiences with her Father to not give up.
