Opinion:
Blu-ray and digital Flight of the Butterflies originally was filmed for IMAX and giant screen theater showings. I must say this must see translates excellently to big screen home theaters as well as to smaller screen venues. Man too often overlooks nature’ beauty and splendor with insects. However, this movie phenomenal footage captures their visual wonder.
Flight of the Butterflies is a short, informative, bright movie that entertains. It inclusion of the monarch’s challenges in its endangered planet’s habitat–weather, climate change, agricultural issues–only makes its survival epic.
Here’s the theatrical trailer.
I have watched a feature segment of this. Isn’t it amazing that these butterflies can travel that far? I’d love to have a copy of this Flight of the Butterflies, and if possible, I’d want another copy that I can give to my granddaughter’s teacher. She can let the kids watch this to make them learn to care for the environment and save the habitat of these awesome creatures.
We love nature and science documentaries and this one looks great. Butterflies always seem so delicate yet are actually quite durable.
