Documentary Challenge 2025🗺️ Narrated by Morgan Freeman Hacking capitalism by watching IMAX 3D movies in 480p on DailyMotion. Takeaways: Lemurs are matriarchal bandit queens who scream like banshees and used to be the size of gorillas. Inspiring and terrifying.

Just drove like an hour and a half to the Connecticut Science Center to watch this with my family. Knocked out 5 minutes into it so didn't watch a thing.

Even without an active political component, Island of Lemurs: Madagascar, on a purely visual level, is one of the more amazing things you're likely to see in a theater this year.

The animals are so magically entertaining to watch here (helped by some gently mischievous narrative assists), the educational treatment is a fun time in its own right.
