Plot: 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 cre...( read more  )w 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

  Ce film est époustouflant. Suivre à vol d'oiseau ces peuples qui migrent sur des kilomètres et des kilomètres est tout simplement grandiose, et ça se répercute à l'écran. On se sent comme si nous y étions nous-même. Je dois avouer avoir aussi versé quelques larmes. La musique est superbe et accompagne très bien les images, nous portant directement vers les cieux avec les oiseaux.

  This may be a 5, but it's been since the film's release that I've seen it, so I want to give it another view.

  The Scenes in this are unbeleiveable. I have seen Mallard Ducks for years but never noticed how flat they are when they fly. You fly with the birds, you will be in awwwww.

  This is beautiful, but it was absolutely ruined for me when I learned that they raised the birds from birth to flock around humans and their hang-glider. Lame.

  This film is so beautiful, it surprised me when a tear came out of my eye. For a pseudo-macho man to admit that, that's huge. So see this if you want to know what freedom is like. Or at least the idea of it.
