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

 Amazing film about amazing creatures November 16, 2008
One of the best nature films I've ever seen. This is a documentary about animals that face some of the most hostile conditions on the planet and how they survive. well done!
Great Edudational movie October 30, 2008
Great movie about the life of penguins. far better than I thought. I feel I have a much better understanding of the hardship they endure and the possible problems forthcoming because of climate changes. Hightly recommend to anyone interested in nature.
 Don't even rent it October 26, 2008
Mr. Freeman's narration is the only thing that saves this from 1 star. Poor picture quality, and a minimum of information, with long periods of things happening but with no explaination or details. "Emperor penguins endure 3 or 4 winters before having chicks, and then only one per year..." 'How long do they live?' I asked out loud... silence...
By comparison, Planet Earth has the most eye-popping cinematography I have ever seen in my life, and fascinating things are explained to you. It's 100 times more valuable and enjoyable, put your money where it counts.
Excellent movie, terrific graphics on HD May 14, 2008

This is one awesome movie. It follows the March of the Penguins to the breeding grounds. It was amazing what the penguins go through. I laughed and cried and cried some more. Great for any child or adult too. The graphics on HD were great too.
 Not a blu-ray material March 3, 2008

No offence to the Oscar winning documentary. I love the story but it was not shot in HD and they didn't even try to covert it. The picture quality is about the same as the regular DVD upconvert at its best. Huge disappointment!
