   That was lovely.  Some spectacular footage of primates, and even the   
   gently swinging bananas at the end as the credits roll are captivating.   
      
   They could easily have filmed the same thing in Costa Rica, or the DRC,   
   or elsewhere.  But man there is not much landscape like that remaining,   
   and when you think about what this particular species of hairless ape   
   has done with the rest ... wow.   
      
   I didn't recognize the narration as Conrad's but that makes me love it   
   even more.  The river scene did vaguely remind me of Heart of Darkness.
