Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a story of roller coaster of emotions! visually absolutely gorgeous! Would always enjoy seeing Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The cinematography was good but I thought the film was spoiled by the excessive anthropomorphism, which had the effect of turning it into a children's movie. Surely Attenborough has shown conclusively that you do not need to talk to children to be compelling even to children. The contrivance of the last duckling being "Stephen," and then spinning a story about Stephen in every clip of a lone duck(ling) hurrying somewhere, was just silly. I noticed some clips were not in sequence either. There was one scene of newborn ducklings cut into a sequence where they were meant to be several weeks (?) old. There was little information; we did not even know where the family of elephants was. The film got weaker and weaker in my view. I love the African wilderness and nature movies, so this was a disappointment. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member An incredible story of love and determination. The elephants and their supporting characters will charm you and your children. A family movie if ever there was one. Deserving of the highest possible accolades! A must see! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Couldn't control the tears, and I NEVER cry. Moving documentary, stunning cinematography, can't praise the filmmakers enough for this touching, informative and fascinating look at the journey these beautiful animals go through.
