Elephant is a 3D documentary which releases this Friday. Luckily, my wife is a IMAX Melbourne Big Leaque member and as such we were provided with an opportunity to watch it today for free 😊.

First Time Experience:

• I saw a documentary in a cinema for the first time. I started watching documentaries during COVID. Since then, I've mainly watched documentaries about animals. I'm less interested in other types of documentaries.
• My son's first IMAX experience. He's so lucky! He saw an IMAX movie at age four. I was a teenager when I first saw a movie in a theater. I didn't experience IMAX until my twenties.

Elephant in 3D

Check out the trailer:

This is a short 45 minute documentary but it such a beautiful story, wonderfully executed. The 3D elements were organic and my son was amazed by the elephants coming towards him. The smile and glow on his face was priceless.

The music was also on point and the director kept me engaged throughout, making me part of the elephant's journey.

Elephants are my favourite animal. There is something so majestic about them, so I am probably biassed here. A significant part of this documentary is about the wonderful bond between a baby elephant and her mother. That bond is super strong and I was emotional just thinking about it.

Naomi Watts solely narrated the entire documentary. She has done a magnificent job. Her voice was authentic.

I recommend watching it.

IMAX is probably the best place to see it. I cannot believe how life like a documentary can become on the largest screen on this planet.

Last, did I mention IMAX Melbourne provided free wine and ice cream?

All in all, a fantastic Wednesday evening
