It will keep your eyes glued to the screen because you will be  enthralled in the history of how the park system was born and you\u2019ll see  the amazing adventures people have exploring the national parks today.  It is very cool to see the parks I haven\u2019t visited and get a sense of  what it\u2019s like to be there in real, and even bigger than real, life. I  also like seeing the parks that I have visited from the filmmakers\u2019  point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">My  favorite part of the movie is when Conrad, Max and Rachel visit  Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. There are shots of them climbing up  frozen waterfalls that made me feel like I was right behind them.  Another scene I loved was of cute little prairie dogs that IMAX makes  look like towering creatures bigger than me. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">I  really enjoyed the cinematography. Five film crews visited forty parks  and took nine months to make this movie. They shot it on 65mm IMAX film.  That is a big deal because this will probably be one of the last IMAX  films to use large-format celluloid instead of going digital. This movie  is also a big deal for the national parks because 2016 marks the  centennial of the park system. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">National Parks Adventure<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">  takes you on an exciting and educational journey. Younger kids may not  be able to appreciate the history so the movie is probably best for ages  5 to 15. But all audiences will enjoy this beautiful movie. It is one  of the best IMAX movies I have seen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial; color: black\">I give <em>National Parks Adventure<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From MacGillivray\/Freeman productions and narrated by Academy Award\u00ae winner Robert Redford, National Parks Adventure takes audiences on the ultimate off-trail adventure into the nation\u2019s awe-inspiring great outdoors and untamed wilderness.
