In the most inhospitable environment in the world life
survives. “March of the Penguins” may anthropomorphize these
creatures that exist with meager resources but that doesn’t
detract from its power to show devotion and the force of
evolution. It’s pretty sad to watch the impact of global
warming (and watch those around you who deny it or, worse,
contribute to it in a big way)on the creatures that we share
the Earth with and it makes this film even more powerful
as a result watching them scramble to survive. While the
female goes off to find food so that she can insure the
survival of her egg the male stays and guards the egg protecting
it and keeping it warm. Narrated by Morgan Freeman “March
of the Penguins” has lost none of its majestic power. ---
Image & Sound:
“March of the Penguins” doesn’t get any sort of noticeable
upgrade for this DVD reissue. The colors continue to look
quite good although the color scheme is quite limited because
of the bleak environment it was shot in, “March of the Penguins”
looks quite good. Detail is quite nice with occasional hints
of edge enhancement creeping up in the presentation. ***
Audio sounds terrific with a nice 5.1 mix. ---
