Summary: Short IMAX feature with history and views worth seeing!
Comment: Based on some of the other reviews, you would not want to spend thirty minutes watching this. Although not a travelogue of Yellowstone, it combines historical information with beautiful scenery to present an entertaining program that is worth seeing. At the least, it's worth adding to Netflix que.

Summary: Informative with scenic shots, but not IMAX perfect
Comment: The Yellowstone IMAX DVD does a good job of capturing informative key moments of the Yellowstone history. Beginning with Native Americans to the birth of the first National Park to the scientific exploration, the DVD features a nice collection of scenic shots and historic information.

Having worked in the park, I can easily relate to the historic segments, but to a viewer with no previous knowledge about Yellowstone, the mix of reenacted scenes and contemporary scenic shots can seem a little disjointed at times.

I've read a lot of the negative reviews and wanted to give this movie a little more respect than it received before. The shots are very scenic, the historic information is accurate, and the movie takes me right back to this special place.

Despite my positive review, I only gave it four stars since the advantage of the IMAX format could have been used a lot more frequently. There are some awesome IMAX shots in this movie, such as the flight over a waterfall, but overall such great IMAX scenes are too short and not nearly enough.

Summary: Want a a DVD about Yellowstone? This isn't it
Comment: This DVD is terrible. There is barely any coverage of the Park. It's mostly a reinactment of Indians settlers around a camp fire or explorers hiking and discovering Yellowstone. The DVD is horribly short too.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS
Comment: I buy lots of DVD titles, and this title is the MOST disappointing one. I wasted my money totally. It's seems like everyone agrees with me, so go figure.

Summary: Waste of time and money
Comment: I am a fan of IMAX movies in general, own several and have seen dozens. This one is the worst. I want to see IMAX movies to see stunning images of places that I likely will not ever get to visit in person. For example: in IMAX theatres I have been able to visit, via film, the Russian space station, participate in a climb of Mount Everest, explore underwater caves, etc. THAT'S why I want to see IMAX movies.

The IMAX producers however, have put out several movies which are very short on those stunning images and long on filler material which consists mainly of new age propaganda and historical re-enactments. To some degree one has to put up with this stuff in most IMAX movies, but it can usually be overlooked if you're not interested. However, in Yellowstone, the producers made a short movie of only about 30 minutes and then packed in about 25 minutes of this garbage. The viewer only gets to see the stunning sights of Yellowstone for a few minutes. Those sights are indeed excellent, but its far too little, far too late. This DVD is a total waste of time and money and should be avoided. IMAX Producers: you should be ashamed of yourselves!
