Lemurs in IMAX...
Unlike some other primates, lemurs do not have prehensile tails (they cannot hang by their tails from trees like monkeys) but they do have long, wet noses. Lemurs have a keen sense of smell and they also have good vision, even at night. Their thumbs and big toes are opposable, but they mainly use their teeth and an extended "toilet claw" on the second toe of their hind feet for grooming. The aye-aye, a fascinating lemur with an elongated, claw-like middle finger which it uses to dig insects out of tree bark, is also nocturnal, and is often feared by the Malagasy people of its native Madagascar because of its unusual appearance. The Lemurs in this IMAX documentary are very friendly and infact if you visit Madagascar, you will be able to feed them personally see it is a major tourist attraction. BBC produced a great documentary with the talented, dedicated and educated David Attenborough in regard to Lemurs in 2011 called Madagascar. This documentary is by IMAX is different than...
Lovely Leaping Lemurs! Must See.

Lemurs are wonderful. So beautiful, amazing athletes, friendly and kind. They are having trouble maintaining a foothold on Madagascar, the only place where they live. Many efforts are being made to ensure their survival and health. This movie will be a contribution as it educates and entertains at the same time. Seeing the lemurs co-operate in groups, bond with new lemurs, swing in trees, climb almost vertical surfaces with ease is mesmerizing.
Loved the lemurs, of course, and Morgan Freeman's wonderful voice. If you haven't seen him as Henry Deacon on "Eureka", you should. It's on Amazon. Not liked are the musical effects which the lemurs don't need! They're sort of Disney-ish. One time that the music makes sense is when the lemurs leap and dance as if they were in a ballet. Classical ballet music would have been more appropriate.
Lovers of lemurs will be gratified by this film, and those unacquainted with lemurs will fall in love.

No predators killing other animals, no poachers, just researchers and cute lemurs!
Island of Lemurs: Madagascar is a nature film made for IMAX theaters, not for a PBS viewership—meaning it’s geared for a popular audience rather than one looking to learn every detail they can about animals and their environment.

IMAX movies are typically experiences—movies shot in higher definition on 70mm film that can then be shown on screens way larger than anything you’d see in a standard movie theater, and with no loss of detail if you sit in the front rows. Shots have tended toward the dramatic—aerial panoramas, whales breeching, fires blazing out of control, and wilderness adventures—with early short films including The Eruption of Mount St. Helens!, Fires of Kuwait, and Alaska: Spirit of the Wild. So it’s somewhat of a deviation for a less naturally dramatic nature film like Island of Lemurs: Madagascar to get the IMAX treatment.
