Fresh and Exciting

Excellent but underrated film

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There is one review here who rated this movie a 3. Apparently he can sees little value in a film with no violence and cuss words. He also states, "this film over emphasized and exaggerated the American experts' role in the actual project." With just a little research he would learn that the idea behind the project came from Drexel University environmental scientist James R. Spotila . So the reviewer who rated it 3; not much credibility. See the film. OK for kids. It leaves some unanswered questions, but is an interesting film.

Masterful. I entered the theatre expecting your run-of-the-mill cutsie science documentary, but instead I was delighted to find that, alongside a first-rate plot and some amazing visuals, "Pandas," features one of the greatest performances of the last decade. Kristen Bell's turn as Qian Qian the Panda demonstrates an actress honing her art, and transforming into a master of her craft. The nuances of Bell's performance amount to a fixating and often breath-taking theatregoing experience. The role poses challenges. But any challenge posed, Kristen overcomes. Whether she has to eat pounds of bamboo, or get stuck in a tree after an injury to her paws, the grip never slips. Her panda-esque charms delight the audience without fail. This is a performance that I believe no other actress could convincely deliver, (no, not even Meryl Streep.) I hope to see Kristen win an Oscar this year, and deserve recognition from an industry that is only now discovering her true potential. See "Pandas," and brace for the greatest Panda-based performance of all time.

The IMAX documentary "Pandas" is made for children. Half of it is pandas frolicking, the other half is zoologists from the US and China talking about how they're trying to stop the pandas from going extinct and have been introducing captivity-raised pandas into the wild.Nothing special, but it does give one an idea of how the only surviving members of the genus Ailuropoda live.

In this documentary, pandas are supporting actors to the idea "of course, Americans once again save the world and made a difference." This film over emphasized and exaggerated the American experts' role in the actual project. This documentary is more like a mini drama. If you like pandas, check out iPanda Channel on YouTube, which is more realistic and less politically biased with lot fun.
