One of my all time favorites.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
"India: Kingdom of the Tiger" is a 40-minute documentary from almost 15 years ago. The title says what this is about a lot better than I ever could. I quite like IMAX' documentaries about animals, but I do not really like their stuff on science. So I was maybe expecting a bit too much here. Still it was not a bad watch by any means. The biggest problem I had with it was that I do not really care about India and I wished this could have been exclusively about the tigers, but a large portion of the film isn't. Of course, this is just personal preference, but the fact that this is one of the lesser famous IMAX documentaries makes me think that other people have the same feelings. Also I felt this film could have been a bit more informative. The best thing about it is certainly the message about protecting the tigers to keep them from extinction. Such beautiful animals. My overall verdict is cautiously positive and I recommend this one. Thumbs up.
