Review of Chimpanzee (2012) by Tyson H — 10 Feb 2013
The filmmakers behind "Chimpanzee" should be pissed. Clearly, they love their subject matter and worked extremely hard to create this gorgeous film. When placed in Disney's hands, however, it became a caricature of a nature film. The poor music choices, awful writing and Tim Allen's hammy voice work really wrecked it for me and my family. I'm tempted to replace the film's audio track with some classical music to see if that solves it.
What's good? The photography is fantastic. The film mixes incredibly intimate shots of the chimpanzees at work, play and war with stunning slow and fast shots of the surrounding nature. It's a visual treat at full 1080p on a big screen.
