Decent large format documentary on African elephants. At one point an elephant charges the film crew, which is rather intense. I worked with this at two different 15/70 theatres, about the only complaint was from some parents who felt that said charging scene was too scary for their youngsters.
Was filmed (and is presented) in 2-D, rather than 3-D as the last comment leads one to believe.

November 30, 2001. I was able to see this film with Ron Jeremy in attendance. He introduced the film, as did Scott Gill (the director) who joked that it was a premiere, of sorts, as much of the crew was there too. Anyway, I'm only writing this because in the last entry, the user made a comment of Ron's indulgence of alcohol, yet a big part of the documentary focused on the fact that he does NOT "party" in that sense, and stays away from alcohol & drugs (although he loves to be on the the Hollywood party scene, for the food and bragging rights of the A-listers he might meet), and that he is still an excellent "woodsman" without using Viagra or other substances.
In the lobby, it was an interesting scene to behold, every fifth or sixth guy to walk by, upon realizing that Ron was standing "over there", would shout out "you're my hero, man" or "I wish I had your life". Which was remarkably similar to many of the interviewees on screen.
It was also nice to see Al Lewis on the big screen!

IMAX would rather you didn't see this movie, because it is rated PG, and that isn't the "IMAX Experience" they want you to have. I guess basically that means nWave didn't go about making this movie the same way most "approved by IMAX" large format (15/70) films are made. But none of the politics behind the film-making process matter to you, the viewer, do they? The 3D effects in the opening sequence alone make it worth taking a look at the film, then Johnny's mom's song is so amazingly engrossing...
If you aren't quite into the recent trend in 15/70 films that involve a fiction story (rather than being educational documentaries), no biggie, there's enough eye candy to get you through the 38 min. run time without boring you to death.
