Summary
The Yellowstone IMAX DVD does a good job of capturing informative key moments of the Yellowstone history. Beginning with Native Americans to the birth of the first National Park to the scientific exploration, the DVD features a nice collection of scenic shots and historic information.
Having worked in the park, I can easily relate to the historic segments, but to a viewer with no previous knowledge about Yellowstone, the mix of reenacted scenes and contemporary scenic shots can seem a little disjointed at times.
I've read a lot of the negative reviews and wanted to give this movie a little more respect than it received before. The shots are very scenic, the historic information is accurate, and the movie takes me right back to this special place.
Despite my positive review, I only gave it four stars since the advantage of the IMAX format could have been used a lot more frequently. There are some awesome IMAX shots in this movie, such as the flight over a waterfall, but overall such great IMAX scenes are too short and not nearly enough.
