Loved first two seasons but the new seasons have lousy CG and AI. It is so fake looking. The dogs don't even look right when they show them eating...how hard could that be to do right? Sad to drop the quality so much from the original. And, they are claiming catastrophic changes in just a couple of weeks. In the first seasons it took years for building collapses. So far I am disappointed in the new version.

For those who never read the book, this movie is enjoyable and thought-provoking on a human and environmental level. Even though there are "love stories" involved, there is also murder and a leopard hunt. I was very pleased with this version of Luis Supulveda's thoughtful, beautifully written story. Richard Dreyfuss really brought his character's personality to life. The Mayor was just as awful as expected, and enough of the story was brought forward to make it cohesive while maintaining poignancy and point. Thoroughly enjoyable.

The scenes are gritty, beautiful. It has humor in the right places. You may feel horror, sadness, and contentment.

Not going to win any awards but I enjoyed it. The elephants, the pleasant characters, the meaningful undercurrent. A good Sat afternoon movie.
