Two Thumbs Up for Winged Migration, a documentary about, well, migration. This isn't a movie with a plot or a story. Barely any words are spoken. The cinematography is absolutely amazing. The camera work makes the viewer feel like they too are migrating. You can see the view from one of the geese flying in a V formation across the beautiful fall-colored forest, through a snow storm, and landing in the water; or, in one case, the bone dry desert. My favorite parts were watching the red headed cranes in Asia jumping and leaping for joy plus these black birds in Africa who covered their heads with their wings like little black umbrellas so they could reduce the glare and see into the water to hunt for fish.
