Aroview: The most commercially successful documentary of all time is an astonishing technical achievement, filmed in the giant IMAX format for exhibition in its purpose-built theatres. Shrinking down to the small screen draws attention to the pat 'scripting' and amusement-park gloss, yet it retains its evidence as a landmark in the beauty of filmed images. That the feat of making the film is ultimately more remarkable than the film itself is revealed in the 'making of' featurette, included on our rental version of the DVD.
