i have decided that every movie i watch this year i am going to vote and comment on.
this movie did have good cinematography and a great narrator in Morgan Freeman. I also did learn about the life cycle of penguins, but for most parts there wasn't much movement from the penguins. It was boring for most parts and a documentary should focus on other fauna that are more appealing to the audience. I could see how easily it would be for someone to fall asleep while watching this film.
This movie was not for me.

So did I. The images were great, but this film got destroyed by the anthropomorphisation of just about everything. Even the wind "became more cruel as he realised he was going to lose" (I don't know the exact wording as I saw it in french). This is not a documentary, it is a fairy tale in disguise.

In fact, I didn't learn a thing. Every time there was somthing interesting (e.g. the "big evil bird" I'd have liked to know more about - they didn't even mention its name), it went on without explaining anything.

Give the footage to the BCC - I'm sure they could make a great, entertaining and instructive documentary out of this mess.
