This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The acting in this movie is really good.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I can't review this as a movie because it isn't a movie. Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West is a 45 minute trailer for nothing. The reason I can't call this movie a movie is because it doesn't even contain some fundamental concepts that make a movie a movie. In this "movie" Scene's don't start and scenes don't end. It just jumps from one place to another with no rhyme or rhythm. It contains a bunch of random cinematic scenes that serve absolutely no purpose. And there are a bunch or random scenes that have no place in the movie. It has a cohesive story but that's because it's spoon fed through narration instead of smart writing. You literally get no emotion from anyone. The only reason I put it at a 2 is because the music isn't terrible to listen to and some of the shot's are nice. Seriously don't watch it. even at a short runtime of 45 minutes it was incredibly painful to sit through.

i just saw this at the omnimax theater in duluth over the 4th of july, and, at first when my parents told me that we were going to be seeing this, i was like, oh god, this is gonna be boring. but i really liked it. i love the whole west area of the country, with the mountains and stuff, and native american history, etc. i've seen very dry boring documentary films before about this same topic, with the only difference being, i believe i will actually remember quite a bit of this one, simply because of the way it was presented. the fact that it was shown on an imax screen added to the enjoyment of this film.(this is my first "movie review" so if it sounds like a big jumbled mess, now you know why :)

This film recently came to the IMAX theater here in Milwaukee. I enjoy all IMAX films, but this one was especially awe-inspiring. Documentary at its best, "Lewis and Clark" educates while entertaining. Maps are skillfully used to show the progress of this great journey west, the actors melt into their roles, and the scenery is breathtaking.

You get a sense of the adventure watching this 70mm presentation, I felt I had a small feeling of what it may have been like to participate in it. The narration is excellent and it is beautifully photographed. The print I saw, at a Regal (formerly an Imax) theatre, was worn and jittery and for this I paid $9 but it was still a great adventure.
