Ever get stuck looking at pictures of someone else's vacation. The producers seemed to make this movie only for their own family. The opening was nice but it went downhill from there. Really poor IMAX movie.

Ultimately disappointing, as this really seemed to just be a way for the producers to take their family members on a rafting trip and write the whole thing off by making a movie. And not a very good one, either. The title is deceptive; there are only a very few minutes of really good Grand Canyon footage, and not much information about the geography we were seeing. The music was well-done, but misapplied, often not matching the footage (a lot of white-water stuff, nothing really to do with the canyon) or it just seemed a bit trite to me. Also distracting was the narrator's voice, which sounded like David Suzuki, I mistakenly kept expecting things to start getting interesting... ! Was this a movie about the Grand Canyon or Glen Canyon? The world-wide water shortage and conversation efforts? Displaced native americans? White-water river-rafting? Or the producer's family? I have no idea, but I would never recommend this film as a way to enjoy the fantastic visual possibilities of IMAX...

IMAX Film should have Looked @ the Grandiose Panoramic Views instead of Concentrating on white h2o rafting & kayaking scenes. Were these guys lost on the Concept GRAND Canyon? Where was the Web Reference to WaterSeekers & or other h2o conservation org.s? ?

Captivating from beginning to end, a real eye opener and lots of beautiful scenery with a great story line about how global warming has drastically changed the river and other water sources.

While the opening sequence was amazing and the in-boat experience exhilirating, I really left the cinema looking for more. The movie relied too much on sweeping shots of the grand canyon to make up for the lack of content. I would have like more info on their actual trip, to make it into more of a story. There was no timeline or map of their journey! That made it seem like the whole movie was about a 2 day whitewater rafting trip! The canyon was grandiose. The story was not. The 'feel part of the river when I touch it' theme seem quite contrived and was repeated endlessly. You learn VERY little of the Native American's tribe (where they are, how they live, their values) All I remember is that they used to live near the river, now they don't. The presenter is also far too hesistant to blame anyone. For all the impact this movie COULD have had about raising specific issues about water consumption, a generic 'we should all pitch in' message really just isn't enough. Give us a story to make it compelling! And for Goodness sake, if the theme is water conservation, don't wait until AFTER THE CREDITS to give us tips! And make those tips more than 10 seconds long so we can remember them!

Good movie, but too IMAX-like (old black movies in a small window, country music, etc.)

Incredible 3-D effects. The opening shots will pull you in. If you like nature and travel you should see this. The White Water sequences were awesome -- I would have liked to see more of this footage; especially when the camera brought you in the raft.

Absolutely breathtaking. The scenery is so beautiful. All the music and the songs are performed by Dave Matthews Band, and it really brings the images to life. Wonderful!
