Review of Chimpanzee (2012) by Richard M — 08 Sep 2012
Horrifying narration by Tim Allen dumbs down the science, sanitizes the violence, needlessly anthropomorphizes, and interjects cornball comedy into a masterpiece of nature cinematography that must have crushed the souls of the tireless filmmakers and scientists involved in it's making.
Easily a 5-star film if David Attenborough and the Planet Earth team were to re-script it. If you switch on the French language audio track and turn on the English subtitles it helps a little bit, but regardless the film is still worth watching (especially in BluRay) cause no matter how hard Disney tries, they can't completely ruin such incredible footage.
