UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
scupper-simons I really do appreciate what these people are doing for the benefit of the whales, but the show is completely lacking of excitement. The crew seems like they sometimes have absolutely NO idea what they're supposed to do, and they end up falling back to their captain who just sits there writing poems. And to add onto all of this, they have the WORST of luck, which makes the show that more unwatchable. The only thing that this show has going for it is the way these people are actually doing something about the whaling industry in Japan. If you are looking for another documentary style show, I would recommend 'The Deadliest Catch'.
Directoreo Commenting on the aptitude of the Sea Shepherds based on what you see on TV is ridiculous. You are not watching facts. You are watching hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of footage edited together for the greatest dramatic effect. If all we saw was constant perfection, there would be no conflict. No conflict = no drama = no TV show. What is a FACT is that several dozen people spend MONTHS sailing the most inhospitable waters in the world waging a VERY dangerous campaign that HAS reduced the number of whales killed ever year, i.e., success with objective, i.e., making an actual difference - and every member of the Steve Erwin crew has returned from every campaign safely. Not bad for a bunch of volunteers. Hardly an "inept" feat. As to the "terrorists" vs "freedom fighters" debate, it all depends on whether you genuinely believe that the Japanese whalers are conducting necessary "research," or if they are taking advantage of ridiculous loopholes in the IWC Convention so that they can make a lot of money off people who like to eat whale meat. I personally believe the latter.
donc-7 Some Figures monstrous and mis-shap'd appear, Consider'd singly, or beheld too near, Which, but proportion'd to their Light, or Place, Due Distance reconciles to Form and Grace. - Alexander Pope Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, so go ahead and call the crew of the Sea Shepard fools if it makes you feel superior. Make jokes about what you would do if you were a whale, but you should know something about this series called Whale Wars.It is unusual, and it is raw. If you have not seen it, it is something different than shows like Deadliest Catch. It puts us on the scene of a confrontation between two philosophies.Maybe some things look deformed and clumsy when viewed up close, but with a proper distance their form is something of grace and beautyFor what it's worth, my view of the world has grown into something cynical, and I find this program truly compelling.
andrewvo1324 Please are you guys serious about how Watson's group are terrorists... what they do is go up to a Whaling ship, asks them to stop and then Gives them a letter telling them what they are doing is illegal. Yes OK, they throw the acid stuff on board(harmless except to smell) and jumped on the ship which is being a pirate but it is nothing as bad as what the Japanese do. The Japanese tied them up, attacked them, and attempted to throw them off board? They also throw Grenades at the ship which can hurt the crew and shot the captain.Anyways This show is great. It's about how a group of "activists" use direct force to stop the Japanese whalers who "are doing research on whales" when they are really whaling. Instead of telling them to stop and while the government does nothing to enforce it they intervene directly by Chasing them and going on their ships telling them to stop. While the Japanese uses Physical attacking and grenade.Watch this show :]
