Amazon Adventure 3D
“Amazon Adventure, director Mike Slee’s latest large-screen triumph…….” …”matches its imagery with an equally memorable story”. “Slee’s film boasts such a high level of writing, acting, and overall production polish that youngsters may be fooled into thinking they’re watching a mindless blockbuster, when in fact, they’ve actually been fooled into thinking.”
Peter Debruge – Chief Critic Variety
“Visually stunning” …”breathtaking detail, compelling plot…” “the images inspire wonder”.
Washington Post.
“Visual majesty”….” “a compelling narrative”
Smithsonian Magazine
Flight of the Butterflies 3D
“Phenomenal IMAX 3D visuals…neatly balances entertainment and education. Bound to fascinate…”
Variety
“Fascinating….. Stunning photography”
New York Times
“… reminiscent of March of the Penguins in terms of its ability to tug at heartstrings… this miniature underdog story manages to take on human scale”
“It’s easy to forget “Flight of the Butterflies” is just a movie, as the 3-D documentary about monarch migrations looks and sounds so much like nature.”
“A stunning documentary that fills the screen with intricate caterpillars, lush and colourful gardens, majestic forests, and millions of orange-and-black butterflies, sometimes coming right at you in whoa! 3-D”
The Ottawa Citizen
“It is thought that Flight of the Butterflies 3D … could do for butterflies what the feature documentary March of the Penguins did for penguins” Scientists were overwhelmed by the footage at a preview. One of them, Chip Taylor, said: “The film is … truly extraordinary … I have been amazed by the overwhelming emotional reaction that revealing the scientific secrets of the butterfly has had – even the eminent board of science advisers had moist eyes when the lights went up.”
The Guardian UK
“Attention all grandparents, busy parents, aunts and uncles — if there’s one motion picture you must take an important child in your life to, it’s Flight of the Butterflies!”
Rancho Sante Fe Review
“Just Amazing … I love watching movies shot in 3D, but as good as “Avatar” was, it can’t hold a candle to “Flight of the Butterflies”

Meerkat Manor – The Story Begins
“In an era when kids are inundated with animation, and species are disappearing by the day, this refreshingly real film will naturally inspire wonder at the truth…”
Tribecca Film Festival
“The mix of ingenious editing, evocative narration by Whoopi Goldberg, and the stunning beauty of South Africa’s wilds make this a delightful experience. The rhythm-rich soundtrack of traditional South African music perfectly accompanies the astonishing shots of natural majesty that leave you wondering, how did they film that? The camera flies with the hawks and then dives underground to show claustrophobic footage of the meerkats in their dark burrows. They don’t hesitate to play the outrageously adorable card, either – the plentiful baby meerkats rank high on the list of nature’s little cuties.”

Engineering Connections
“At last, Richard Hammond delivers a top notch multichannel series… he leads fascinating investigations into nuts and bolts issues – but we are talking hi-tech ironmongery here. Fantastic! If there’s been a better program on applied science in recent years, I missed it.”

“….. a masterwork of reality storytelling. It’s easy to see why BUGS! -“A Rainforest Adventure” is one of the most popular IMAX films ever.”
Jim Slotek – Toronto Sun
Breathtaking photography, stunning special effects and entertaining commentary from Judi Dench.
****(Four Stars) Natasha Aitken – Empire Magazine – November 2003
“Amazing, essential viewing for every school kid in the country and their parents.”
The Times
“This IMAX feature is so cleverly done that it grips us like a narrative feature, taking us deep into the rainforest of Borneo where we see the world from a Bug’s eye view and this is a real film not animation. Its genius is the way it makes two of the principal critters into characters.”
Shadows on the Wall, International Film Review
“..the realism of the Discovery Channel with Disney’s charm”.
Vanessa Farquharson – The National Post
“…to Slee’s credit he does not attempt to soften the Darwinian rules of the jungle for our benefit. He is assisted here by narrator Judi Dench, her calm and modulated tones an ideal complement “
BBC Film Review
“Bugs! made me want to talk back to the screen, so involved in the lives of these insects that I was actually rooting for and against them. Not many movies about humans these days can do that.”
St Petersburg Times.

“A gloriously simple and entertaining way of explaining the world.”
Jeff Jarvis – TV Guide
“A new series of scientific detective stories, entertainingly zipping through history to tie inventions to social change.”

Fire Fighter magazine
