Beautifully shot, no question about it. But the anthropomorphizing is just too much. Why force a dramatic story where there is none. The real wild Africa is disappearing rapidly, but this type of film is not going to do anything to understand what is going on. I also find it really offensive to present a totally fabricated story as a "wildlife" documentary. Granted one has to take creative licenses and I respect the fact that you cannot shoot a film like that in a matter of weeks. But then don't present this as a document from the wild.
Warning "Spoiler" Furthermore, why pay $10 to see this in a theater when you can see wildlife documentaries 24/7 in HD at home. In 3D, yes... but then again with my iPod turned up full blast to cancel the noise coming out of Jeremy Irons mouth.
