OCOG s comment:

reality soap meets animal film might say, if you see the Penguins . And so ambiguous you want the whole face.

This kind of pseudo documentary nature films enjoyed for some time even more popular and for those interested is there really beautiful shots of animals and landscapes to see. But that far from being a masterpiece must be proves the overvalued the Penguins .

Each year, the Emperor Penguins in the interior, there to mate, lay eggs and raise their children. As far as the action that is taken for a nature film beautifully simple and realistic. You can see penguins while hiking, sliding, diving, nesting penguins and what will make a stop it otherwise.

The images range from grandiose images of arid deserts and thousands of penguins, to close-ups cute plush penguin babies, the clumsy trudge through the area. Affect the penguins on land sometimes clumsy, they are more agile and graceful in the water. The versatility of the animals was approved by the Camera captured beautifully and presented in clear, sometimes spectacular, sometimes a little too kitschy obscurities images. Fortunately, you remain realistic and filming the sadder moments, as when birds of prey of seals and penguins are attacked and there already are a victim.

Unfortunately it must be admitted at the optics, however, that the camera does not always have their focus on the most interesting and the illustrations are often too quick pivots or even veiled and not interesting scenes shows. That's sometimes nervous.

remains the case (mostly) great shots but it already. Often criticized the speaker that is destroying the mood of the film completely. The images a challenging add professional commentary would have been desirable. Instead, they wanted to make the Penguins family-friendly and compelling. Three Penguins (father, mother, child) has to be picked out, given them a bad conscience and humanize their thoughts into obnoxious pseudo-poetic, naive, and much given to talking too pathetic expression. Thus the movie gets put on something totally artificial, rather hypocritical, which really irritated. When a mother penguin (even without text) mourning her baby bitten to death, one wonders whether the sad cooing of the animal now is genuine, or whether one has tampered with the scene of the human spirit's sake. The fact that this humanization does not fit, you notice the latest, as a hawk breaks the cute penguin offspring, while large penguins are nichtsnützig wrong. Penguins are just but only animals.

also ask yourself whether you really on "our" penguins are the three same animals before the sake of the story or you spend any penguins as the main characters. Distinguish the animals can be so anyway.

is completely out of place then even the background music, the emotions will tickle the viewers who fit at all in that moment. Constantly have to feel as if something bad would soon happen. The music is usually so much too pathetic and annoying. It is best to be silent and therefore the film set to music with his own music.

penguins who likes to keep the Penguins great shots prepared by the funny coat makers. While the camera is sometimes confused with bad timing, but the images of endless white expanse and convince the penguins on the whole. The idiotic comments and the humanization of animals draw the level of the film, unfortunately, far down. The DVD to the Penguins offers a sound track but no text, but it still bothers often so incongruous soundtrack. the Penguins is quite nice and quite touching times, plays but certainly not in the first division. Something informative, the film could have been as well.
