Winged Migration

Pros: Magnificent cinematography, Lush soundtrack, Evocative
Cons: May be boring to non-nature lovers

Director Jacques Perrin's (MicroCosmos) magnificent journey of the filming the migratory patterns of a variety of bird species, Winged Migration was a painstaking four years in the making. (1998-2001) During that time period, Perrin relied on ...

Pros: Beautiful photography, scenery, majesty of birds...
Cons: No narration tying it all together...

I love nature documentaries. I remember when I was a kid, and we just had PBS as a source—this is before the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, Junior—and I’d watch the dramas of nature unfold, every bit as spellbinding as anything ...

Pros: The photography and educational material.
Cons: If you are not interested in wildlife this film could be quite boring.

I was recently lucky enough to view Winged Migration at one of the nature preserves on Long Island. After a few false starts the film was finally presented and I was glad I stayed to see it! For the price of $2.00 I saw an amazing odyssey and the true ...

Pros: Great visual beauty and wonderful photography.
Cons: A bit short on the science behind migratory patterns.

I'm a big nature lover, and most of my friends know this. When "Winged Migration" first showed up at theaters, I was repeatedly told "You've gotta go see this!" but it ended up being one of those films that "slipped through the cracks till ...

Pros: Astonishing cinematography; the birds have a wonderful personality
Cons: There are digital effects; often feels like watching the Discovery Channel

Well into Jacques Perrin's documentary WINGED MIGRATION there's a sequence involving birds called No ...

Pros: Beautiful visuals, the likes of which you've never seen before.
Cons: ---

Winged Migration is a documentary on birds- or more specifically, on their migratory patterns. Doesn’t sound too exciting, right? I (very stupidly) missed out on the chance to see this movie in theaters because of that preconception. But ...

Pros: the sensory experience of flying with the birds
Cons: none

I loved this film. I think it's useful to put aside traditional notions of documentary--this isn't a film with facts about birds. For 90 minutes, you get to fly with the birds. That's it. If that's not enough for you, go see an action movie. I don't ...

Pros: Let your troubles and problems leave you while watching
Cons: Don't expect in depth explanations about why migration occurs

This movie opens and closes with the Robin Red Breast which is a very terratorial bird. It follows ...

Pros: Beautiful Cinematography, Unique, Wide Range of Animals
Cons: Doesn't talk much about the migration, Most footage is made by CGI

A documentary by Jacques Perrin, "Winged Migration" is quite unlike your average, boring, piece-of-crap cheesy doc that you're forced to sit through in seventh-grade. This is something different. This documentary has a beautiful soundtrack, the ...

Pros: No Pros
Cons: No Plot. Boring.

Wow. I had to see the movie. The worst movie. The most boring movie in the world. So the birds fly and fly and fly. The narrater talks and talks and talks. No story. Just information. What a boring movie. What I boring movie. I advise all you documentary lovers to go see a movie that has at least some plot. Not just flying, flying, facts, and more flying!!!

I didn't like anything about boring movie.
