I was drawn to the storyline and the idea behind this film. It misses on not fully embracing the African people and the wildlife as the main focus. That part of the film needed to be prominent and that part of the film works but it needs to drive the film rather than being an accessory. As a musician reviewing it, I have to say that the film score was mostly dreadful with computer generated synthesized sound and music that detracted from the movie rather than enhancing it. The singing at the end of the film on the film score, however, was excellent and so was the music performed by members of the cast during the film. If these musical elements could have been incorporated more into the film, this would have made a big difference and it would have been nice to hear more real musicians performing on real instruments rather than this dreadful synth instrumental sound. The musical conception for the sound track needed to be more authentic and incorporate African style musical motives.
