Half a Butterfly Journey Documentary
justinboggan27 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
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.

A good nova episode but not for someone with a butterfly phobia
bymcsmtq9 May 2024
The episode is pretty good and try to explain who the monarch butterfly struggles that it's have to go through from Canada to Mexico and why it's a mystery on how they do it and the monarchs are Beautiful 🦋 but someone who afraid of butterflies like me, some of the shots like the up close shots are ugly, and frightening! Good for the education, bad for somebody with a butterfly phobia. Overall a very good episode of the 2009 Nova season from wgbh and pbs. I highly recommend it so if you find it on the tv schedule or dvd please watch. I found the episode's dvd at my local library the day before.
