  • Amazing

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Martin Ward from London , 27 Oct 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This movie is like marmite - you'll either love it or hate it! For me it was an amazing experience, I have often enjoyed Hollywood's attempts at incorporating animals directly into the plot of movies, but as we all know they rarely succeed. Instinct is one of those movies that when you watch it you hush everyone around you as you dont want to miss a word, when its finished it really gets you think about your perception on things. simply put, the movie is about one man's struggle to be accepted and then his respect for being allowed to enter the gorilla group. This respect and appreciation drives him to protect the group as we would protect our own families. A very interesting plot and an overall feel good factor at the end

    Wow, had a tear or two on this movie. Such brilliance. Major stars Anthony Hopkins, Donald Sutherland and Cuba Gooding Jr, all were fantastic. You can't beat Hopkins and Sutherland, but I've never seen much of Gooding Jr but I can't wait to watch more of his films now, he was amazing. The film was deeply moving and had you glued to the screen from start to finish, one to watch and thoroughly enjoy. x x x

    I watched this film whey back in the 90's when it was first about, i would have been a kid around 10 so i watched it purely as there were animals in it as i am an animal lover but back then was a bit obsessive.

    Anyway i remember loving it and then seeing it again a few years later and thinking the other day i really wanna watch that after watching Zorro (odd connection i know!) Just saw Anthony Hopkins and this filmed popped into my head.

    Just watched it agian and still love it such a beautiful and yet heart wrenching story and you can belive every second, it just shows the abilit for humanity to corrupt.

    A brilliant film with great acting all round would suggest to anyone!

    Excellent film. Although Hopkins and Sutherland play excellent roles, Gooding Jnr by far exceeds my expectations in this one.Older film, but different and enjoyable to watch.
