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 :)

Lewis ( 28) and Clark (32) took journey to collect information on the Continental United States of America in 1802-1805 for two and a half years.Their age difference is 4. Age Difference of 4 and 8 is very compatible in Chinese Zodiac.They got along very well together.As if ... hey were born only to take this journey on Planet Earth.PS: Continental United States of America is still the same... but Lewis and Clark are gone...

Visually stunning on a huge IMAX screen, this short film (42 minutes) is an accurate depiction of the epic Army trek to the Pacific commanded by Lewis and Clark. Assuming modern sensibilities, the film shows Native Americans as far more accommodating than they actually were and the end credits tell us that two Indians were killed in a skirmish during the return trip.The scenery is gorgeous, a reminder of how much wilderness we still have and must preserve. For the younger set in particular this film is a good history lesson.For it's genre, 9/10.
