"Phenomenal 3D IMAX visuals more than compensate for prosaic storytelling... an unabashedly old-fashioned nature documentary."

Variety

"Balancing some impressive footage with the story of a scientist who made Monarchs his life's work, the film satisfies, even if its wow factor is lower than that of some other long-running IMAX titles."
