A fine french documentary about migratory birds, by the same team that made the insect documentary "Microcosmos". You are likely to be awed by these images, and wonder "how did they film this" all the time. Unfortunately, I also had a few reservations: one (a minor, perhaps) is that the documentary is a bit too long, even for the most enthusiasts of bird lovers. Second, the version I saw in the cinema was dubbed in a very strongly accented English, which was distractive. Third (and perhaps more seriously), some of the sequences are obviously staged (for example, a parrot escaping from a cage in the Amazon): for a movie that purports to be a documentary, seeing something to be staged is an obvious disappointment. These criticisms aside, I believe this movie is very much worthwhile watching.
