Movie Reviews of March of the Penguins [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Visit Antarctica after viewing
Summary: 5 Stars
Watching the incredible photography of March of the Penguins is impressive particularly having just returned from the Antarctic. The breath taking scenery is a glimpse of the vast continent of ice. The story of the Emperor penguins and the mating contrasts with the King Penguins which we saw. The chicks are white whereas the King chicks have brown fur.
While the Emperor apparently nest on the ice the King nest on rocks. The only way to appreciate this show is to visit Antarctica for oneself. It is an amazing place with vistas as spectacular as show in March of the Penguins. It clearly made me think of going back.
Summary of March of the Penguins [Blu-ray]
In the Antarctic, every March since the beginning of time, the quest begins to find the perfect mate and start a family. This courtship will begin with a long journey - a journey that will take them hundreds of miles across the continent by foot, in freezing cold temperatures, in brittle, icy winds and through deep, treacherous waters. They will risk starvation and attack by dangerous predators, under the harshest conditions on earth, all to find true love.March of the Penguins instantly qualifies as a wildlife classic, taking its place among other extraordinary films like Microcosmos and Winged Migration. French filmmaker Luc Jacquet and his devoted crew endured a full year of extreme conditions in Antarctica to capture the life cycle of Emperor penguins on film, and their diligence is evident in every striking frame of this 80-minute documentary. Narrated in soothing tones by Morgan Freeman, the film focuses on a colony of hundreds of Emperors as they return, in a single-file march of 70 miles or more, to their frozen breeding ground, far inland from the oceans where they thrive. At times dramatic, suspenseful, mischievous and just plain funny, the film conveys the intensity of the penguins' breeding cycle, and their treacherous task of protecting eggs and hatchlings in temperatures as low as 128 degrees below zero. There is some brief mating-ritual violence and sad moments of loss, but March of the Penguins remains family-friendly throughout, and kids especially will enjoy the Antarctic blue-ice vistas and the playful, waddling appeal of the penguins, who can be slapstick clumsy or magnificently graceful, depending on the circumstances. A marvel of wildlife cinematography, this unique film offers a front-row seat to these amazing creatures, balancing just enough scientific information with the entertaining visuals. --Jeff Shannon
