Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

On a positive note - Wings of Life is certainly a dazzling, vividly-photographed, nature documentary from Disney Studios. It tells the viewer a story about pollination, which is continually being carried out (by the insects, birds and bats) from all corners of the Earth.If nothing else - This colourful, 80-minute documentary is certainly well-worth a view, solely for its excellent, state-of-the-art photography.But, on the other hand - Wings of Life is also yet another somewhat heavy-handed warning to all of us human Earthlings. It clearly tells one of the short and long-term effects of man's destructive nature. Here we are told quite frankly how man's environmentally-reckless behaviour is seriously affecting the vital importance of pollination which, if not corrected soon, will spell certain disaster for the overall survival of this entire planet.This DVD presentation also lost itself some serious points due to the annoyance factor of Meryl Streep's unwelcome narration.

*Advanced Warning!* - I strongly recommend that you watch this DisneyNature documentary without the truly irksome "I-am-a-flower" narration (spare me!) from veteran, Hollywood actress, Meryl Streep.I suggest that you turn off Streep's droning voice and turn on some of your favourite ambient music and enjoy watching Wings Of Life (WOL, for short) in that much more pleasant mode.With Streep's preposterous narration aside - I guarantee that the images you are about to see in this 80-minute documentary are, without question, a truly fantastic and wonderful feast for the eyes.When it comes to WOL's visuals - It was so clear to see that absolutely no expense was spared to present to the viewer some of the most vivid and astoundingly beautiful imagery imaginable.Believe me, had it not been for Streep's annoying narration, then I would have not hesitated giving WOL a full 8-star rating, no questions asked.

I have heard of Disneynature before but, it was a trailer for "Chimpanzee", but back then I thought it was going to be just another documentary about creature's lives, formed into a story. At first when I looked at this documentary, "wings of life" my first impression was it was going to be about butterflies, and birds and bees and all those flying pollinators. but I was in for a surprise. That surprise was what got me hooked up, the documentary was literally turned into a story, like a nature ballet and the "star actors" are the flowers, inanimate and slightly motionless yet "given souls" as though the flowers were talking themselves, whereas the pollinators are more like supporters in the play. Disney has earned credit for that many times (if you still remember "Flowers and Trees"), turning objects into actors with souls.Even though Disneynature is just a division of the major company, its documentary still carries that surreal magic, its a great movie, I would recommend it to anyone.

I saw this film earlier today when I could find nothing else worthy to watch. It was on NETFLIX of all places. I thought it may be educational, so I turned it on.The camera-work was amazing as were the sights and sounds. Beautiful colors and landscapes backdrop the world of flowers and how they are pollinated across the world, from deserts to lush grassy areas. One of the best documentary films I have ever had the chance to see, and I have seen all of the Disney True-Life Adventure films of the 1950s and 60s.The directing was wonderful, however, the narration could have used some work. Rated 10/10 because it is a beautiful film.
