    The movie pays tribute to sexual equality and to each gender's agility and strength of character.

    The penguins' matter-of-fact victory over some of the Earth's most punishing conditions is astonishing enough without the epic airs.

    Maybe if I were a nature-fan, or a bird-fan, or more preferably, a penguin-fan, I would have enjoyed this film. The way things are, I just did not find it all that amazing. Ok. I was just ok. All white all the time. And the little penguins. They're cute. And all. And it's Morgan Freeman. We get it. Ah. Maybe it's Freeman, we've had too much of him narrating lately.

There have been way better documentaries than this - thank god!… Expand
