Movie review: African Cats

Thread Starter 
Okay, not so much a review, but a very brief synopsis; of an interwoven tale of a Cheetah mum and her five babies, an aging lioness sacrificing everything for her daughter, and a band of male lions on a ruthless conquest.

Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson (which, for me, was the definite low point of the movie; he brings too much voice inflection for my taste - made the movie sound too much like an animated feature).

SEE THIS MOVIE. It's gorgeous, inspiring, tragic, and everything in between. Some of the cinematography will leave you gasping, "How in the world did they get that shot?!". You'll smile, laugh, cry, and if you're like me, walk out of the theatre more than a bit humbled; realizing how incredibly small and insignificant we are within this great big world, and how much drama unfolds everyday in the animal kingdom. I, for one, need that reminder now and then.

I won't be watching this movie. I don't like watching shows or movies where animals are the stars because I end up crying because of their struggles and one or more usually ends up dying.

Not to mention they always have to show how they kill other animals. I just can't watch that stuff.

It's a movie I definitely want to go and see myself, if I ever have the time off my job. I work like crazy.

But besides that the cats are beautiful and I just would ooo and ahhh over the amazing shots anyway.

One thing I liked was that they didn't show the actual kill. It was an AWESOME movie! 2 thumbs up!

I agree 100%, it wasn't overly graphic at all. Dana and I both really enjoyed it as well, really adorable. Bring the tissues though, ESPECIALLY if you're a big sap like me.
