Without a doubt, this is one of the landmark nature documentaries of its kind. Extremely well photographed and edited, the whole presentation invites and then captures your attention and admiration for some of nature's most delicate creatures. Excellent for all ages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely program, music issue, January 26, 2010

This review is from: The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies (DVD)

Indeed, it's a lovely program about absolutely amazing creatures. As always with NOVA, superbly done. One thing: In two very un-Nova moments, in two segments they use soprano vocal "singing" (over orchestral) that is ear-splitting, spine-slicing, cruelly painful to some of us with sensitive hearing! Yikes! It actually triggers a migraine. Although I've watched this episode several times, I still have never heard what Stockard Chaning says about the chrysalis and then in the mating segment because that music is unbearable and I have to mute the volume (and take an Imitrex for migraine). But the other 50 minutes of this Nova episode are wonderful.

This review is from: NOVA: The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This was a wonderful, educational documentary of the life cycle and migration habits of the butterfly. Many of them stop here in NJ and it's interesting to know how our stopping point fits in with the scheme of this cycle.
