I came to see the journey of the butterflies, as the title says, but half the documentary was spent not on the journey, but on environmental issues, which is a shame, because while there are real problems pointed out here (rather than the usual environmental propaganda I thought I might get here), it detracts from the story and images. Perhaps a better idea would have been a two-part documentary, one of The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies and another on The Perils of Butterfly Species.
As it is, it needs editing to be more enjoyable, and a score cue or two that have new-agey synth work in them that is pointless and detracts from what is happening on screen rather than helping it, need to go.
It could have been better.
