  1. Stays in the mind, changing the way we look at the world.
  2. 100
    By the end of the film, one begins to recognize specific birds, rooting for their safe returns and saddened by some of their failures.
  3. 80
    Absolutely breathtaking documentary whose close-up shots of birds in flight are so freakishly intimate that the film is compelled to open with the statement they're not special effects.
  4. 60
    Settles into pleasant monotony and repetition, without any narrative arc or purpose. Seasoned bird-watchers, however, may find that the sensory overload leaves them close to spiritual nirvana.
