Today my girlfriend and I took a trip to Houston’s Museum District. One of the stops we made was to the Houston Museum of Natural Science and we went to the IMAX and Planetarium to see 2 movies.
Born to Be Wild, 2011, Documentary
Plot: A look at how 2 conservationist seek to take care of orphaned elephants in Kenya and cast-awayed orangutans in Borneo.
Thoughts: We both often watch documentary shows about animal rehabilitation so this concept was a familiar one. One of our favorite shows it called “Orangutan Island” (you should check it out). The film was in 3-D so I was a little skeptical. This time the 3 dimensions were well done. I felt like I was actually there in some instances instead of just looking at something from a distance. Helping animals that our fellow humans are killing is really a noble thing to do and I would not mind doing that as a career.
4.6/5
Starry Night, 2011, Documentary
Plot: A look at the constellations and our place in the universe.
Thoughts: Space is always a favorite topic of mine and this documentary reminded me why. It is wild to think about how insignificant you are in terms of matter and space you take up in the known universe. I am amazed at how big everything is and how little problems really matter. Our life is just a vapor…
3.8/5
