This was one of the best movies that I have ever seen. The effects were amazing without things flying at you. My husband and I had been debating a cruise or Grand Canyon after seeing this movie and getting chills from it we have decided to take the trip out west I would recommend this movie to everyone.

Mandatory viewing for those who leave the shower running,

I saw the IMAX movie in Seattle last summer, and since then I have been telling everybody about it!
I just pre-ordered 2 copies of the dvd, one for me and another for a fellow river rat friend of mine.
The message is poignant.
But it’s the feeling of “being there” that carries the day.
If you can not go raft the Colorado, this is a close second best.
The visuals of dropping water levels speaks volumes about the need for water conservation.
It is informative without being preachy. A rare equilibrium!
5 stars are very well earned!

Breathtaking scenery, superb soundtrack,

By R. Pullan (Cincinnati) - See all my reviews

We saw this movie at the IMAX in Chicago Science Museum yesterday. It was an excellent mix of documentary account of a family’s journey by raft down the canyon, sweeping views from many different angles of many sections of the canyon, and white-knuckle rafter’s eye views through rapids.

The soundtrack really fitted the movie well, especially in the IMAX with the mega screen and loud surround sound. It’s all by the Dave Matthews Band (as soon as I get home and on my own PC I’m going to buy the mp3 download from Amazon).

This movie really shows you clearly what impact mankind has had on the Colorado River in terms of the total amount of water flowing through it, the flora and fauna along it, the lifestyle of the people who traditionally depended on it, etc. It also provides some very practical ideas for how we can all contribute to water conservation.

Overall, that’s a big thumbs up from the four of us Search Amazon.com: Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk (IMAX): Robert Redford, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Wade Davis, Shana Watahomigie, Tara Davis, Kick Kennedy, Greg MacGillivray: Movies & TV from AmAzon
