Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

On a positive note - Wings of Life is certainly a dazzling, vividly-photographed, nature documentary from Disney Studios. It tells the viewer a story about pollination, which is continually being carried out (by the insects, birds and bats) from all corners of the Earth.If nothing else - This colourful, 80-minute documentary is certainly well-worth a view, solely for its excellent, state-of-the-art photography.But, on the other hand - Wings of Life is also yet another somewhat heavy-handed warning to all of us human Earthlings. It clearly tells one of the short and long-term effects of man's destructive nature. Here we are told quite frankly how man's environmentally-reckless behaviour is seriously affecting the vital importance of pollination which, if not corrected soon, will spell certain disaster for the overall survival of this entire planet.This DVD presentation also lost itself some serious points due to the annoyance factor of Meryl Streep's unwelcome narration.

I came across this presentation on Netflix streaming movies. As would be expected the picture and sound are outstanding, and of course Meryl Streep's narration is beyond reproach. As she narrates she assumes the identity of a flower. Not just any flower, but every flower. She goes on to explain that early Earth had no flowers and when they were "invented" it entirely changed the balance and dynamic. Without flowers we would have no fruit, and without fruit we would have far fewer choices of things to eat. So flowers get pollinated and fruits form. But how does the pollination happen? By small flying things. Insects, especially bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and bats. Those four are the focus of the "wings of life" in the title of this presentation. It uses remarkable photography to illustrate its points. Nighttime film of bats first pollinating, then weeks later feasting on the fruit of desert cactus. Hummingbirds fighting to defend their sources of nectar. Bumble bees and honey bees doing their work. The long migration of Monarch Butterflies.All in all a superb and interesting presentation. There is a cautionary tone near the end, of honey bees disappearing mysteriously, and the habits we humans have of clearing land and building homes and highways, taking away some of the natural habitats of these necessary pollinators. And all that is true, but the whole presentation is much more science and nature than it is politics.

I have heard of Disneynature before but, it was a trailer for "Chimpanzee", but back then I thought it was going to be just another documentary about creature's lives, formed into a story. At first when I looked at this documentary, "wings of life" my first impression was it was going to be about butterflies, and birds and bees and all those flying pollinators. but I was in for a surprise. That surprise was what got me hooked up, the documentary was literally turned into a story, like a nature ballet and the "star actors" are the flowers, inanimate and slightly motionless yet "given souls" as though the flowers were talking themselves, whereas the pollinators are more like supporters in the play. Disney has earned credit for that many times (if you still remember "Flowers and Trees"), turning objects into actors with souls.Even though Disneynature is just a division of the major company, its documentary still carries that surreal magic, its a great movie, I would recommend it to anyone.

I saw this film earlier today when I could find nothing else worthy to watch. It was on NETFLIX of all places. I thought it may be educational, so I turned it on.The camera-work was amazing as were the sights and sounds. Beautiful colors and landscapes backdrop the world of flowers and how they are pollinated across the world, from deserts to lush grassy areas. One of the best documentary films I have ever had the chance to see, and I have seen all of the Disney True-Life Adventure films of the 1950s and 60s.The directing was wonderful, however, the narration could have used some work. Rated 10/10 because it is a beautiful film.
