Critic Reviews
-
Margaret A. McGurk, Cincinnati Enquirer
There are moments during Journey Into Amazing Caves when it seems the images on the screen could have been beamed back from a planet in another solar system.
-
Dan Marcucci and Nancy Serougi, Broomfield Enterprise
This movie managed to entertain and educate at the same time.
-
Herb Lash, Big Movie Zone
Taking IMAX (R) cameras into these living underworlds proves an always bold, but not always successful venture.
-
Christine James, Boxoffice Magazine
As educational and long in duration as a high school geology class but significantly more interesting.
-
Ted Murphy, Baseline.Hollywood.com
"Amazing" is the appropriate adjective to describe this latest IMAX film from MacGillivray Freeman Films.
