Why is it that no-one has yet made a great film on the wonder of Africa?! I think this might be the best I've seen and yet I'd only give it 6 out of 10.
The good points... amazing cinematography, an interesting true story, and Kim Basinger is great in the lead part.
The bad points... poor script, editing, most of the acting, and direction. Re the last point, some really key scenes do not have the tension or engender the emotional reaction that they should do.
As a film I'd probably give it 5, but adding an extra point as it does look amazing and makes you want to go to Africa.
So a missed opportunity then. One day someone will make a great film set in Africa...
