Leave your thoughts about China: The Panda Adventure.
| New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufThese pandas, they're truly wondrous on the big screen, as no digital effect could ever recreate. Director Robert M. Young delivers a spry, richly detailed adventure for general audiences, truly a feat deserving acclaim. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn Monaghan[Young] occasionally mines the IMAX cliches ... but more often he delivers unforgettable images of China. |
| L.A. WeeklyMark OlsenThe true star of the film -- areas whose mind-boggling size and immense beauty are still too overwhelming to be fully captured by the supersize IMAX screen. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip Wuntch[Young] knows what's important in an IMAX movie and makes certain that the vastness and beauty of China are matched by the pandas' lovable quotient. |
| StaciWilson.comStaci Layne WilsonPretty pandas, and Maria Bello: Good. Movie, so-so. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghSince her claim to fame is having brought the first living panda -- a cub named Su Lin -- out of China, Harkness's success is a given, but the footage of pandas in their natural surroundings is enchanting. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerThis wobbly docu-drama ends up being caught in between the impulse to make theatrical a true story and the usual Imax mission of imparting information about the natural world in an entertaining way for families. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisThe landscapes and backgrounds of the Min Valley and the Nanking Road, not to mention the cuddly pandas themselves, are the big-ticket items here. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffImax Corp. has been struggling in the last year, and "China: The Panda Adventure" illustrates one reason why. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoMight have worked as a travelogue, minus the story. In its present form, it is hardly worth the $10 you will be asked to fork over at the box office. |
