I was not excited to see Migration. I was not much of a fan of the trailers and so I had been unsure if I was even going to it. I decided to give it a try anyway.

It was fine.

Honestly, I do think the best bits were in the trailers, but it had enough good feelings about the film, with some positive messages about family and growing up that it was worth the watch. 

A family of ducks try to convince their overprotective father that they should leave the safety of their pond and fly south to Jamaica for the winter. 

There were some dull moments on the predictable adventure, but there were some highlights too. The stop off with the herons (the duck eating machines) and the conflict with the Chef were moments that were fun. 

The film looked great and the voice cast was solid. Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Banks, Danny DeVito, Keegan Michael-Key, Awkwafina, Carole Kane, and David Mitchell provided some excellent voice work. 

The best parts of the film included the flying scenes through the clouds. Those were beautifully animated.

This was decent. I actually liked it more as it moved on through the film, with it winning me over as I kept watching. It is not going to be a long time memorable film, but it gives families a decent time watching a movie together. It is okay.
