Avoid this movie if you're the kind of person who likes to impose values of the 2020s on characters from history. It is politically incorrect in the extreme, slavishly expounding every cultural stereotype about Africa ands its aboriginal peoples. However, if you want to see great footage of what Africa, its native people and its wildlife were like in 1930, before civilization and its depredations were very far advanced, then this really is a time travel film. Charging rhinos, herds of elephants, untamed rivers - very cool. Of course, it also has a dumb plot with bad acting, but you already knew that - it's a Hollywood blockbuster (Academy Award "Best Picture" nominee, too).
