6/10
Vastly Overrated
3 January 2004
Yes, there are some amazing shots of flying birds, but it goes on and on and on showing different birds doing basically the same thing--flying, roosting, landing, flying some more, eating, flying--there's a lot of flying. The narrative is terse and uninformative. You are given no idea WHY these birds are migrating, and sometimes you can't even tell WHERE they're going (like where is the "Boreal forest"?) You are told very little about their way of life, other than the fact that they do a lot of flying. The sequences skip around geographically and by species, with no apparent connection. And it goes on and on and on and on and on ... . If you have insomnia, the DVD is a very good investment.
