DVD Reviews of Winged Migration

DVD Review: Birds and their world
Summary: 5 Stars

What I enjoyed most about this film was not just the wonderful and amazing photography but the attitude of the director. He understood that this was a bird's world, not a person's world, that one could get lost in it, actually lose one's way because of the culture shock of being in flight. He is trying to let us understand the concept of visual learning, of learning by watching instead of trying to explain or verbalize human understanding. You are left with the birds. Absorb what you can. See it, experience it. Don't try to rationalize it.

Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie on TV and had to have the DVD. It is great!

DVD Review: Breath takingly Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars

Saw this Doc/Wildlife movie in the theaters, at the time I was 21/22, not many guys my age would line up to see this type of movie, let alone it be a Documentary on migrations of different bird species. As a film fan, whether it be regular movies or Documentaries this one looked interesting. Let me tell you this is a beautiful movie, how the filmmakers got so close to the birds beats me, I remember scenes where the camera is right there with the bird as it is in flight, such wonderful cinema-photography, beautiful score and I believe Morgan Freeman did the voice over/ narration... been a long time since I saw this film. But after watching it in theater I told everyone it's worth seeing, and definitely worth checking out on DVD, maybe just maybe this will get a Blu Ray release see this fine Documentary on crystal clear HD TV.

This is a wonderful movie for all ages.

DVD Review: Amazing.
Summary: 5 Stars

If you haven't seen this yet, you are truly missing something amazing. Even if you are not a bird lover, you will be amazed by the strength, perseverance and challenges birds experience during their migration.

DVD Review: Winged Migration a success
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great "nature" piece constantly leaving the viewer wondering where the camera is and how did they get those fantastic shots?

Description of Winged Migration

Rolling Stone raved that Winged Migration, the critically acclaimed, awe-inspiring documentary, is"A movie miracle! It soars! You feel privileged!" Witness as five film crews follow a rich variety of bird migrations through 40 countries and each of the seven continents. With teams totalling more than 450 people, 17 pilots and 14 cinematographers used planes, gliders, helicopters and balloons to fly alongside, above, below and in front of their subjects. The result is a film of staggering beauty that Entertainment Weekly hailed as "Mesmerizing!" and the Los Angeles Times applauded as "Breathtaking! As lofty as it is exhilarating!" Open your eyes to the wonders of the natural world as you fly along with the world's most gorgeous birds through areas.

For earthbound humans, Winged Migration is as close as any of us will get to sharing the sky with our fine feathered friends. It's as if French director Jacques Perrin and his international crew of dedicated filmmakers had been given a full-access pass by Mother Nature herself, with the complete "cooperation" of countless species of migrating birds, all answering to eons of migratory instinct. The film is utterly simple in purpose, with minimal narration and on-screen titles to identify the wondrous varieties of flying wildlife, but its visceral effect is humbling, awesome and magnificently profound. Technically, Perrin surpasses the achievement of his earlier film Microcosmos (which did for insects what this film does for birds), and apart from a few digital skyscapes for poetic effect, this astonishing film uses no special effects whatsoever, with soaring, seemingly miraculous camera work that blesses the viewer with, quite literally, a bird's-eye view. A brief but important hunting scene may upset sensitive viewers and children, but doesn't stop Winged Migration from being essential all-ages viewing. --Jeff Shannon
