Not as good as expected, for several reasons: firstly, there is some corporate advertising at the very beginning and possibly also some product placement throughout the film. Secondly, not enough 3D scenes showing white water rafting and flying through the canyon. Instead you get self absorbed family stories, images of his daughter and ranger's daughter, etc. Thirdly, it is not focused enough on one particular subject, at the end they sort of advocate access to clean drinkable water in Africa, well, that is not sticking to the main topic of the movie, in my opinion, it is a slightly separate issue...Another problem issue with this movie is the way the meteorological /rainfall data are presented: they show projected rainfall in a misleading way, projected data should be shown as a dotted line or dashed line, etc, to make it clear this are projections, instead they show it together with past data on the same graph and in the same line, even faking the noise over that projected curve. That is just plain pure manipulation, eroding my trust into whoever made and sponsored that movie. Will never view it again, for sure!
