Audience Member Still a very good documentary about one of the longest living animals on earth French director Jacques Perrin narrates the daily cycle of birds filmed on several continents around the world A bird's annual migration is a promise to fly and hopefully return home It's a fight for life and facing danger from bad weather to hunters to man-made waste to crabs Here we witness the sheer physical effort for different species of birds such as geese, ducks, herons to common miniature ones to fly away, lay their eggs, and come back Some birds fly night and day in order to make it towards their destination They have no barriers and get to travel all over yet they still have to be aware of many obstacles like predators or vehicles, sadly some of the birds will fall by the wayside It's also fascinating how certain species are built the way they walk, run, even perform mating rituals This documentary is beautifully filmed, nicely edited, gorgeous to look at, and it gives the viewer an insight of these animals' journey to travel the skies The music is also majestically composed and the aerial imagery is enough to make you believe you're flying with them Naturalists and documentary fans will love this The combination of soaring views and exotic locations make for quite a great-looking film Some parts hard to watch but worth the journey Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Connor S Breathtaking footage resulting in a magical story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Kyle M One of those documentaries that are just as fascinating and appealing as the subject, with this one being purely observant without any structured narrative resulting in beautiful photography giving a heightened experience to solidify the perfected approach. Based on its presentation, it was most likely a worthwhile theatrical experience – and maybe still is if rejuvenated projections allow the chance.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/01/18 Full Review Audience Member beautifully photographed and beautifully filmed there's a large lag in between the footage of the flying birds and the narration, this whole thing could've been a silent film and it still would've flown birds are the most magnificent creatures in the world and it's fascinating to witness their yearly migration to the south, not only that but they can sense the earth's magnetic field much like a compass it's a rough journey braving harsh weather, predators, and environmental challenges caused by mankind almost every type of fowl you can imagine is here from geese to loons to parrots to cranes to penguins to puffins not only are the animals pretty to look at but the flying scenes are shot phenomenally-well, really gives you that sense of going with them whether we're seeing four migrations or more the natural cycle of a bird goes on anywhere in the world bird lovers and documentary-enthusiasts will love this one Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The filming and music was astounding. The view was like flying with the birds in person. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
