Transcript of Featured Review

This review is on The March of the Penguins on DVD. March of the Penguins is a documentary about the Antarctic penguins and their struggle to create children and babies in the freezing cold temperatures. And it documents the journey that the two parents make. It's actually quite interesting because the male actually cares for the eggs some of the time and I would think if I recall correctly that they take turns in two month in their roles. So the male will have the egg in his legs and unfortunately sometimes once the egg is hatched the baby penguin doesn't make it. There's actually a scene I think it's coming up where they show a frozen little penguin that was just hatched and it's too cold in this area for the little penguin to survive. Some of the penguins in here do die so that's kind of sad but other than that it's pretty much just their journey in the Antarctic waters and there's a part of the movie again is a little clip about the baby penguins being born and how some of them don't survive. So this is March of the Penguins on DVD. And I would recommend this movie 'coz it's a nice little documentary about the penguins that a lot of people don't know about because they're not really close to the US and they're mostly in the cold water regions. So this is my review of March of the Penguins. Thank you.

Summary

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
