my opinion do not flow with the majority in most case . i tend to lean toward the artsy and imaginative and and different . this movie be reminiscent of france ford the black stallion wherein a fantasy situation be create to showcase the beauty of a magnificent creature who not readily available to view perform at it peak except on these multitude of documentary ala natural . unlike those nature film and this offering utilize the fine movie make technique the industry have to offer fit for a diva create one of the most sensual super star ( the cat ) on the screen . this fantasy depict the love relationship that develop between a french soldier ( he be very nice too ) lose on the egyptian desert and a female leopard he encounter when he chance upon an abandon egyptian temple be mesmerize . i buy into it wholeheartedly . if you be the least bit open to fantasy and appreciate the grace and beauty and power and sensuality of the feline and you should enjoy it . the only flaw in my book be the end . it be a perfect set up for a romeo and juliet finale that would have take me over the top .
