A Masterpiece!

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The Emperor penguins of the South Pole journey to their traditional breeding grounds in a fascinating mating ritual. The journey across frozen tundra proves to be the simplest part of the ritual, as after the egg is hatched, the female must delicately transfer it to the male and make her way back to the distant sea to bring back food to her newborn chick. March of the Empreror is a very beautiful but also really interesting and well directed documentary with excellent narration by Morgan Freeman but also cinematography and just the penguins are cute. (A+)

A nice documentary that takes you through the journey of bunch of emperor penguins going to their special mating area in Antarctica and shows how they overcome the ridiculously heavy weather conditions in order to deliver cute little penguin babies.

This documentary has all the qualities of a good drama. It has actually dramatized the penguins' lives into those of human beings. Compassion is good. Presumption, squeezing human emotions into other species, is not. Penguins are like all creatures, big and small, in their worthiness and rights to exist in the way they want. There is no need to apply human beings' senses to them in order to gain sympathy. I admire this film's beauty and elegance in the presentation. The film's crew is most entitled to the given awards and honors. The unintentional effect, though, is a violation of nature itself. We are supposed to watch, observe, and co-exist with fellow beings in the nature if we are truly respectful of them. An early scene of the whole flock of penguins confronting a severe snow storm during the breeding is narrated as if we knew what they were and really felt. What a presumption. Old-style animal documentaries become classic works because they do not presume to know more than the eyes meet. We are freed up to develop our own understanding and, quite likely, compassion towards what we see and learn. Today's filmmakers become a man who knows too much, clotting the screen with new tools and tactics, depriving the audience their freedom and creativity. Nature ceases being nature, and a media invention is made. This is not a trend that supports the unity of living organisms. Instead, it is a forced humanization of the worst kind. We watch a documentary on Penguins to know Penguins, not knowing better of fellow human beings, which is already in abundance.

I think this movie is interesting and beautiful. Now, because this is a French film, some of you people are thinking "Wait! Don't you hate dubs?" To be honest, yes, I do. An awful lot. And I find them infuriating, but this movie is the exception. The difference is that this movie is a documentary, because it does not get overly concerned to be considered a foreign language film, whether animated or live action, as well the only voice-over changed is the narrator, so that change is passable. Morgan Freeman did a good job narrating this movie about emperor penguins.If you are a fan of penguins or documentaries, try this movie out.
