KINGDOM OF THE TIGER

Digitally mastered from the original 70mm IMAX print, with all of the stunning clarity and visual sweep that the IMAX presentation can deliver.

Journey across India, a breathting land shaped by a myriad of cultures, customs and traditions. Come face to face with the Bengal Tiger and explore the spectular work of this majestic creature with stunning clarity, captured as only IMAX technology can.

Inspired by the writing of Jim Corbett, who pioneered wildlife conservation in this country, Kingdom Of The Tiger is a glorious tribute to this magnificent land.

Soar over blue-hazed Himalayan peaks and sweep down towards the thundering Indian Ocean as we celebrate the power and beauty of India's greatest ambassador - the mighty Bengal Tiger. EXTRAS: The Making Of Kingdom Of The Tiger Natonal Wildlife Federation - Tiger Director's Commentary

Well done and informative!
This was well done and very informative. A perfect choice to watch for relaxation and learning together. I found the video to be just the right length.

Boring!
Beaytiful scenery, but an utterly boring story.Perhaps it came off better in the original IMAX, but I doubt it.

Fascinating real life adventure
History of man's contact with tigers in India. My kids loved it! far better than the usual cartoon, more in line with National Geographic specials. Spectacular scenery.

Save your money on this DVD
You will most likely be very disappointed if you expect to see footage of Bengal tiger in its natural surroundings. There is very little footage of real tigers in the wild. Most of the movie is about some Indian villagers who hired a British hunter to kill a tiger that attacked and killed one of their villagers. Even a National Geographic documentary utterly sucks on this DVD. It shows some Indian movie star that lives in New York City and then goes back to her country to see tigers in the wild. They talk about poaching and loss of natural tiger habitat, but there is very little footage of tigers in this documentary. So far, I could not find anything that even comes close to BBC series: The Life of the Mammals, Blue Planet, and Life in the Freezer with David Attenborough.

Not what I expected it to be!
I preordered it from amazon before anyone wrote any reviews on it. I personally got the impression from cover and the DVD title that it will be more a documentary on India. Didn't expect it to be a documentary on Jim Cobert on whom I heard so many stories as a child. A documentary that is made very poorly without creating any interest in it!

The only reason I gave 3 stars is the nostalgic appeal it had to me reminding of my school days when we all loved hearing stories about Jim Cobert and his hunt for man-eating tigers!

"Tiger - the king of India" would have been an approprite name for this documentary.
