DVD Reviews of Duma (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: Gotta love Cheetahs
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on the book How It Was With Dooms: A True Story from Africa, Duma follows the story of a young boy, Xan (Alex Michaeletos), and his pet Cheetah (Duma), as they both try to find themselves. Xan is on a mission to release Duma back into the wild after years of living with Xan's family on a farm. Xan is still reeling from his father's untimely death. They meet up with an African wanderer, who turns out to be an invaluable companion.
The film's setting is fantastic. Beautiful deserts, real lions and African wildlife. Duma the Cheetah is a great actor. At times, I thought it was a robotic Cheetah because I couldn't believe a real Cheetah would be such a good actor. But Duma hits it spot on.
There are some odd moments in the film, mostly due to one or two silly plot twists. For example, at one point Xan's traveling companion becomes stuck under a pile of rocks and sand. At this point, Xan had reason to suspect that his companion was going to sell him out, so he left him stuck under the rocks. It was kind of disturbing to see such a young kid do that to somebody, no matter how bad he is. Of course, later on they make up and become good friends. But again, kind of odd.
Another note: Cheetahs are adorable, and this film will make you want one as a pet. However, as the film makes clear, they are endangered animals and should be left to the wild.
