Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa Reviews
GREAT MOVIE! Inspiring!
This movie was great! It had beautiful cinematography and it was great seeing it on the IMAX screen!
I felt that it was inspiring and made me want to climb Kilimanjaro myself.
I saw it 2 times in theaters, then bought it on
DVD.
In the movie, they show 5 ordinary people brave the mountain. They go throught 5 different climate
zones, all beautiful and mysterious in their own ways. This movie also teaches you about Kilimanjaro itself,
the Great Rift Valley, and other unique features. The narrator and trek leader- Jacob. The trekkers- (adults) Roger, Heidi, Audrey, (kids) Hans, and Nicole (also Nicole's father, but you don't really get to now him) are ages 12-64 years old. David Breashears, the Director/Producer says he pick those 5 people to represent the audience- the ordinary people.
The movie shows each trekkers journey with interviews along the way.
Also another great feature of the film is the music. Composer Alan Williams really brings to life the beauty, power, and mystery of Kilimanjaro with the great score!
Other reviews criticize this movie because they don't show how hard it is to climb this mountain and what not. I say WHO CARES?!?!?!?!?! THis movie isn't about the hardships of making it to the top, it's about Kilimanjaro; its beauty, power, and mystery.
There are special features on the DVD that are a Making of Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa, production slide show, quiz, and what else is on DVD.
Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa is a great and inspiring movie that moves you.
NICE IMAGES, NOT TOO EXCITING
This is a very nice video in which you get the see all the amazing sites of Kilimanjaro. After having climbed, I can say that it is as nice as it seems in this video.
The only problem with the video is that there is not too much excitement upon achieving each of the stages. Reaching the summit is very anti-climatic, as they simply walk onto it. Perhaps it would be impossible to express the true excitement and beauty of the summit, but I do believe they could have tried harder.
If you are planning a trip to Kilimanjaro, it is a nice video to see what you are going to face. But don't rely on it to predict the difficulties, I think it is a bit more difficult and a bit more exciting than they make it out to be.
