Africa

Africa is a good movie, it has an interesting storyline and it kept my attention the whole way through!

I would recommend it to anyone interested in a good action movie!

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.

This movie has got to be the worst movie I have seen in years! I thought that even though I had never heard of the actors before I would at least give the movie a go--bad idea! I actually checked the movie cover half-way through to check it wasn't a comedy, it was that bad. The acting and script both made me cringe, the amount of continuity errors and holes in the plot were astounding and the music and editing were totally amateur it was embarrassing. If you want to take this movie seriously, don't bother, it just isn't worth it. But if you take this movie as something to laugh at, then you might just be able to sit through the hour and a half of it!

The star, Dorette Potgieter (Vicki), is sure a pretty young woman that does a great job of acting the part.

In the beginning of the movie, she is at a club or something like that dancing. It is a very fancy and civilized environment. She soon gets frustrated about her life and wants to be alone for a few days. So she decides to drive alone across Africa. Of course she has a problem and ends up walking off into the wild and uncivilized part of Africa. The one thing I don't understand is why she walked away from the road. That makes no sense, but everything else seems logical. In the beginning she is not very rational but after a while she accepts that she is lost in the wilderness and begins to be more logical.

Although there is some nudity, it is only minimal.

Great scenes and scenery. Even a clever thing here and there. But buying into the injured fashion model becoming a survivalist in the African bush definitely meant some producers were influenced by a different type of bush to get behind this ridiculous premise. It's more survivable to get through than an American 80's movie like Iron Eagles with terrible sound track...this flick Africa has a decent sound track that fits the scenes, and you can keep trudging forward. Would have been better if the movie developed a female character that is the 'plain Jane' to show that superficial bimbos who have city culture manipulation skills would get eaten alive in raw nature, but that a practical woman might have a chance. Most guys will appreciate the skin exposure scenes but nothing is too overtly tasteless.
