Escape From Extinction

Already in the grip of this crisis, animals - and us - deserve better than this partial survey.

Even with such criticisms, this is a movie about one of the most important issues of our lifetime...

This film may shed significant insight into zoological conservation efforts, but there is never any question of which institutions benefit the most from its version of history.

Alternating this insightful and eye-opening narrative about animal extinction is an agenda-driven pro-zoo advocacy that hammers its message of the ‘importance of Zoos and Aquariums’ to keep the ecosystem in balance.

The film has a specific point to prove and often feels promotional in tone, but it’s also well researched and packed with both great wildlife footage and interesting information.

While Escape From Extinction may not present a comprehensive panorama, it effectively underscores humanity's pivotal role in shaping biodiversity and underscores the imperative for enlightened conservation efforts.

It’s a fine public service, quite beautifully shot (from what I imagine are a variety of sources) and logically laid out.

While it successfully advocates for their role in conservation, the film may be deemed offensive by individuals or organizations opposing any form of animal captivity outside their natural habitats.

Escape from Extinction is still a compelling documentary that urges audiences to reflect on the shared responsibility of preserving biodiversity.

Documentary on a very important subject, animals in danger of extinction. Narrated by Oscar and Emmy winner, Dame and first actress, Helen Mirren, which gives it huge credibility&#59; but, still feels lacking in total objectivity {Full Review in Spanish}
