Endangered Species

As others have said the characters make stupid decisions. The worst is the daughter who decides to spit an criticize her kidnappers but her character was a bioche the whole way thru. BUT this is no worse than most of the movies that score 7 or even more out of 10. The one thing that really gets me is that at the end of the movie the director makes a big statement about rhinos & other animals disappearing due to poaching. SERIOUSLY? This cheezy movie did nothing to raise the issue of poaching other than the fact that there was 5 minutes of poaching in the movie. P.s i still can't believe that rebecca stamos married that goofy charlie guy.

I love movies with Africa as the backdrop and was looking forward to this movie. The CGI was so bad that it ruined the flow of the movie. It was laughable. It's also one of those movies where the characters do every stupid thing possible in every situation. I ended up rooting for the vicious animals. Overall a huge disappointment.

The makers of this movie had a good intent, to point out the problem of poachers in Africa, focusing here on Kenya. To do it they developed a fictional story of a family of four, plus their daughter's boyfriend, traveling for a vacation observing wildlife in Kenya. To me the most interesting part of the movie happens during the last 30 minutes.

My wife started watching with me, at home on DVD from our public library. She gave up and left the room after about 20 minutes. The vacationers are so annoying that I was hoping some animals would eat them quickly and put us viewers out of our misery. But that didn't happen.

Anyway this is mostly a miss, it was interesting enough because unless you watch a truly poor movie occasionally you can't really appreciate the good movies with well-written scripts.

A family on a Safari Adventure in Kenya making one stupid decision after the other. I only watched it to the end because of scenic wild landscapes. As a nature photographer I enjoyed the wild grassland savanna landscapes but the acting was horrible and the story hideous.

Though the production values were decent and the acting was acceptable, the story was trite and predictable from one minute to the next. I won't go into examples because that would necessarily add spoilers and, in any case, there are just too many of them to list. Additionally, most of the animals that were the main characters driving the story line were so noticeably computer generated they weren't believable at all. I expected more from this but was extremely disappointed. Not recommended.
