Congo
Where You Are The Endangered Species
They've eluded heat-seeking missiles, gone eyeball-to-eyeball with enraged 5,000-pound hippos, hacked through a jungle curtain. Still, the expedition continues. Amy, a gorilla who was part of a university learning experiment, is at last returning home. A professor (Dylan Walsh), electronics expert (Laura Linney, The Truman Show) guide (Ernie Hudson), explorer (Tim Curry) and others follow the scampering ape. They know she will lead them to the place that's more than her home - it's the site of the fabled Lost City of Zinj and its diamond mines. But what they don't know can be fatal. Once they enter Zinj, they'll be the endangered species! From the best seller by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) comes an event-packed adventure filled with state-of-the-art technology and primal fear and breathtaking views.

this is a really good movie. It has everything needed for the action adventure junkie. This is made in the old style of action films where violence is implied more than visualised. There is no spurting blood and no over the top CGI effects just a very good movie. The story is well written as you would expect from CrichtonIt's not a Classic, but its fun, Nontheless - TheDandyist
An expedition to a mysterious expanse of unexplored Africa unexpectedly brings primatologist Peter Elliot and Travicom Project Supervisor Karen Ross to a place where human greed and the laws of nature have gone berserk. Unlikely partners, Peter is the guardian of Amy, a remarkable gorilla he wants to return to the wild, while Karen has been sent inland to retrieve rare diamonds needed for new communications technology. In a search for the legendary lost city of Zinj and its fabled diamonds, they are accompanied by their guide Monroe Kelly, Peter's colleague Richard and philanthropist Herkermer Homolka. The expedition discovers that in the Congo, they are the endangered species. A visual treat. This movie is definitely worth watching.Highly Recommended - JTown
Loved the suspense and visual appeal of this film. I can't say I think the story line goes as far but still well acted. Would have liked to see more chemistry with cast members possible bigger names, more money. Plus who doesn't like looking at some apes.
