Truly Dreadful Film

A Masterpiece!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is a very underestimated masterpiece that should deserve more praise by people in general. It is not your typical nature show. Because unlike nature shows this one has a story, and characters. And what did I think of it personally? Well, I will admit that I cried in this. It is really well made, and is heartwarming as well. Everyone who likes big cats and nature in general then this is for you. And I'm a big cat lover myself, so that helped me enjoy this more then if I didn't. I advise you to check this out. You shall not be disappointed. Also, the narrator in this is really good, he isn't boring and flat-voiced. He helps make the movie even better with his ability to express his words, make them appealing, and still sound professionally. You will be surprised at how much this entertains you. I also think that this film is a great way to spread the word about the population issues with these animals, and that they are amazing, and they should be saved from extinction. Because these animal's populations are low.

Nowhere have I ever seen a more dramatic and well balanced nature film. The depth and closeness into these animals lives and the moving narrative are unmatched IMO. I have read some of the negative reviews and frankly am stunned how anyone could come away from this beautiful film with anything less than a wonderful experience. the camera shots, the true 'story' ( as created by the animals), the music, the narration, all superb. this is as close to 'the lion king', all true to life, as you will ever see. these moments and bonds between the animals, the instincts, the scenes, it's truly amazing.one reviewer listed in IMDb's 'critics' closed with 'i would rather see the avengers', to which i say - there are just different types of people in this world, can't make a fish like land.i love nature shows, and the footage in some of the 'blockbuster' nature films (blue planet, earth, etc) is spectacular, and i love them too, but nowhere have I ever seen animals 'story' done so rich and true as this. to all who made this film - bravo, bravo!

For those who have been on safari and not just any safari but one to the Mara National Game Reserve during the migration season can relate to this movie. Crossing the river has its dangers as I have seen first hand as animals drown and others shredded by the crocodiles. I believe that the film should have come with a strong warning as some viewers perceived the animals to be cute and cuddly like their household pets. The animals of the Mara are wild so do stick to rules and regulations of the park whilst on safari.This film is an upgrade of 'Born Free' as the wild animals are reared with no human contact- just as nature intended. Hence viewers can appreciate the hardships faced by African cats as they grow and roam the wild, unlike the lazy domestic cat that snuggles up to you as it awaits for another can of 'Felix' on its plate.

I watch a lot of nature documentaries and the ones by BBC Nature have set the bar very high. "African Cats" by Disney Nature is the first film that has equaled or exceeded BBC Nature in quality.The picture quality is absolutely stunning! They must be using the highest quality cameras and lenses. The editing and music are all top quality. Some people might object to the dramatic narration by Samuel L. Jackson but I liked it.Of course the real stars here are the lions and cheetahs. The film does a really good job of showing how they interact with each other socially. While some people might accuse the film of being anthropomorphic, I felt it did an honest job of showing their social hierarchy.If you are a fan of nature documentaries, you can't miss "African Cats."
