March of the Penguins 2005 Reviews

Bottom-Line: If this movie doesn't put life into perspective for you nothing will.  And here is a little tip: every time your life needs a little jolt of perspective, watch this movie!

Nature is cold, calculating, and unforgiving.  Even we humans entrenched deep within our insulated lives (should) have come to that realization; live is not fair, nor was it meant to be.  Life is what it is and each creature on the planet has to do what it needs to survive and promulgate the species often time at the expense of the living.  This lesson is born out in the much lauded March of the Penguins (2005),...

The footage of the Penguins is incredible.

They are 'cute' particularly since we get to watch them in a warm theater or at home and don't have to smell 'em either.

The narration superbly done in the English version by Morgan Freeman  also turns the animals into loveable Disney-esque characters which is a little too much of a stretch for me, particularly if you watch the fascinating not to be missed making of feature on the DVD. (The English narration script is by Jordan Roberts but I don't know how different it is from the original French one by Luc Jacquet)

Still this is a crowd pleasing, oscar...

I didn't think I would like March of the Penguins. I am not much for what I thought was going to be an animated movie and I am not much of a G rated movie lover. I did love March of the Penguins. In a sentence if you love nature, amazing photography, the miracles of life, love, and animals you will want to watch the March of the Penguins.

This is the kind of movie you can see over and over again. It's is a story of thousands of emperor penguins who make a 70-mile trek to find their mate. These beautiful animals don't fly and although they are aquatic they don't swim as we know it. They walk all...

March of the Penguins (2005)

What is it?
March of the Penguins is a documentary about Penguins!  Narrated by Morgan Freeman,  this movie transforms us into the world of penguins. 

Every year penguins travel to their breeding grounds to mate, hatch eggs, raise their babies and make their way back home. 
Along the way, they face predators, get sick, and lose the group and get lost.
But with the bad, there is much more good.  Baby "chicks" are born and it's so touching to see the Daddy penguin take care of them.

My Viewpoint!
We came across March of the Penguins on the Discovery Channel and was captivated. ...

I Have watched a few times and every time I watched I like it better, a very engenius ever animal world ever filmed. I would like to congratulated the whole crew for ever put a documentary so very illustrator.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When this movie first came out, I was convinced it was yet another boring animal documentary.  One of those with the monotone narrator that practically puts you to sleep.  When I finally rented this movie I was very surprised how wrong I had been.  The narration by Morgan Freeman was spectacular.  He made it fun and captivating, not monotone and boring.

This movie takes you through a year in the life of a penguin.  It shows how much these animals go through just to mate every year.  It was amazing to learn about everything the penguins go through and how hard they work.  They walk hundreds...
