Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Joel This movie is about a Loggerhead Turtle, yet the narrator anthropomorphizes the motivations of the turtle and all other creatures over the course of the entire movie. As people, we have emotions like hate, jealousy, and revenge. Animals don't. In the movie, they describe a behavior of the turtle as "revenge" but actually the turtle is simply eating, and, as an animal, has no sense of revenge. Also, all predators are described as "bad." They play scary music when a predator is on screen, and use terminology that imply that being a predator is a bad thing, when actually Loggerheads can be rather predatory, yet they don't play the scary music then.As the summary notes, the camera shots are very, very good. But they cannot help a horrible script. There are many much better movies about the ocean, and about sea turtles, and this one should be pretty low down on the list.

RRoss-47-665127 My 3 and 5 year saw this movie and we all loved it. I am very excited that it is being released in 3D next month, We will definitely go see it in 3D. Great movie! I am very impressed that the movie is now associated with Sea World and will be jointly released with Hanover House. This movie really promotes environmental awareness and does a great job discussing how important it is to protect our oceans. With the big oil spill in the gulf of Mexico, a movie like this will remind all folks Who watch it just how important our oceans are to our planet and humankind. Turtles the incredible adventure is going to have a big impact Internationally now that BlackStone/Sea World Parks is partnered with target development/Hannover House.

progosk This film really deserves much more than the scarce attention (half-hearted distribution?) it's received; and the only other review currently here really doesn't do justice to its specific strengths.Apart from top-tier cinematography - even avoiding some of the over-production of Perrin & Cluzaud's (admittedly stunning) Oceans http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765128/ - what's special about this film is how it's been written, so both the way the story unfolds visually, and the narrating commentary. It's unusual to find a film that shows such attention to its poetic framing, and in this case, especially because it's ostensibly still just a documentary, your involvement is that much greater.So: this subtly crafted documentary absolutely possesses a special je-ne-sais-quoi, and was a memorable joy to watch together with our young kids. It's a real shame the distribution hasn't been up to scratch.

elsinefilo Based on the true story of the loggerhead turtle(Caretta caretta), The Incredible Journey is a beautiful documentary about the demanding,arduous and sometimes grueling journey of a sea turtle over the course of more than twenty years.The movie starts with the hatchlings born on a beach in Florida. The narrator tells us that turtles lived on land 200 years ago.However,when dinosaurs came they became creatures of the tides and currents. However land did not want to let them go and demanded payment.After about a journey of 25 years every female turtle must return to the beach where she was born under the sand and dug her way into the surface in three days. A journey that starts with no teeth and no defenses but with merely the indomitable will to live, a baby turtle must hurry to the sea which is just forty meters away.Unfortunately the beach is a great divide where half of the hatchlings will be perished in just an hour. The heroine of this documentary makes it into the sea on time. She swims to the Gulf Stream all the way to the frozen north, fights the doldrums when her seaweed is captured by an eddy,she faces up with her dangerous travel-mates like the blue shark and she tries to be one in ten-thousand to survive this ordeal and continue her circle of life. It's apparent that the makers of this film put a lot of work into this project. It must have taken a great deal of work to follow a turtle all along the way but somehow I don't think this documentary had that special "je ne sais quoi",the intangible quality that makes it stand out among the genre. If you have seen lots of documentaries and if you are an aficionado of the genre you may not find it sui-generis.Moreover,the voice-over narration (Miranda Richardson) does not really sound like one you would hear in a documentary. I mean,when you hear a voice like "David Frederick Attenborough" you will know you are watching some natural history program. Yet again, the movie is quite a serious work for our world in which the numbers of these turtles are decreasing in spite of the conservation efforts. It gives us hope for the future of these animals and it deserves to be watched.
