Absolutely! It's stunning.

I believe it got the Oscar for best documentary in the year it was released.

2. I've wanted to see it for years
But I worry about vertigo from the angles up in the air.

3. I don't recall that being a problem...
It was beautifully done.

Not all of it was taken from up in the air...

7. I get vertigo more often these days
So I have problems watching things on small TVs. No way I could watch flying on a movie screen, so I will probably keep an eye out for it to be broadcast on one of the cable channels.

I think the number of times I have been under anesthesia in the last ten years has seriously affected my balance.

4. Best nap I ever had
My partner took me to see it when it first came out. It was beautiful but I fell asleep, we laugh about that years later, apparently I was snoring...

5. That was one awesome Hi-Def movie.
The detail made it seem like I was there.

6. But depressing if you watched the accompanying story
of how it was made and the manipulation involved.

10. I couldn't watch it. I just am not a birder I guess.

11. So did my cat.
I am not kidding; he showed a great deal of interest in the birds. He watched it pretty intently.
