Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Excellent film with a gripping story!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

The Cinema photography is beautiful in this film. It's a beautiful film and if you are a birder or have a love for wildlife, you would definitely enjoy it. It is unbelievable how far birds migrate.However, I was disappointed that you can't hear the narrator. I was also disappointed that the narrator didn't give more information on the behavior and communication of the birds. It wasn't as informative as the film could have been. I recommend seeing it, however just don't expect a lot of information on the birds.The subtitles are helpful,but there needs to be more information. Therefore, due to the lack of information, I give it a 7, maybe a 6.5.

This is best thing I have witnessed in my life. 90 minutes of pure magic. Let me assure you that this is the best thing you will ever see on a digital screen.We take to air with magical creatures with Jacques Perrin as our subtle and silent musician. We feed with them, sleep with them and after 90 minutes of exploring the most dynamic and illuminated universe in our planet we land on our feet only to realize that everything else is bland and blank. It takes time to regain ones balance after being hypnotized by such visual feast. It makes one want to trade everything else in life for a pair of wings and a bird sized brain.Through oceans, grasslands, deserts, wastelands, factories, homes, and man made monsters we are lead. And it all begs the stupid question. How does one shoot something like this? My eyes are rewarded.

A fine french documentary about migratory birds, by the same team that made the insect documentary "Microcosmos". You are likely to be awed by these images, and wonder "how did they film this" all the time. Unfortunately, I also had a few reservations: one (a minor, perhaps) is that the documentary is a bit too long, even for the most enthusiasts of bird lovers. Second, the version I saw in the cinema was dubbed in a very strongly accented English, which was distractive. Third (and perhaps more seriously), some of the sequences are obviously staged (for example, a parrot escaping from a cage in the Amazon): for a movie that purports to be a documentary, seeing something to be staged is an obvious disappointment. These criticisms aside, I believe this movie is very much worthwhile watching.

In 2001 Jacques Perrin "Winged Migration" became an award-winning documentary. It came as no surprise. For me it was a 'wide-eyed' 99 minutes of unique cinematography of migrating bird species from around the world. With minimal narrative and absolutely no special effects, the film focuses in on birds and nature in all its power and glory. Filmed over three years,the exquisite cinematography of migrating birds coupled with spectacular winged formations filmed from the Artic Circle,the flight over vast oceans, to the industrial areas of Eastern Europe. Here we see different environmental factors concerning industrial pollution. We also see the dangers faced by hunters whose gunfire brings sudden death as well as a bird with a broken wing who is attacked and devoured by crabs. These few unpleasant parts set to remind us of the human condition along with unseen dangers faced by birds on their quest to survive.Highly recommended.
