Yes, it is quite a dramatic tale, yes, the images are brilliant, especially the underwater scenes, yes, Emilie Simon’s soundtrack fits well with the material and yes, the whole logisitics of making this intimate film on penguins is amazing. http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/893/penguins2ba9.png And yet, I expected something more.  Maybe this is due to the hype the film has had.  I couldn’t quite get beyond a sort of grand Cousteau documentary and did feel that the rather coy script detracted from the visual aspect.  A nice film to seehttp://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2161/penguins1dz9.png, an achievement in filming in Antarctica but in the end, it was not much different to many other animal docus seen on TV.  http://img313.imageshack.us/img313/9503/penguins4cn5.png

  1. I liked this movie but was really irked that it was marketed as a childrens film - my kids alternated between bored to tears and tears for the dying penguins.
