I took my grandkids to see this movie. They loved it. It had a couple of sad scences but overall it was a good movie for the family to see!

Living in Alaska while this movie was filmed, I was not really sure what to expect when we hit the movie theater this weekend. The landscape just makes you want to experience our great big state! The story is touching and there is enough reality within the story to make you feel a part of it. The nuances that Hollywood added to make the situation somewhat more romantic did not impact the message of the movie. The Native Alaskan people were portrayed as the wonderful caretakers of this vast wilderness, which is what they are and have been for so long! The movie reminds us that we are all much more than mere inhabitants of the Earth; we must strive to also be caretakers and problem solvers in order to preserve it. The movie made me feel good about my recycling efforts, and the fact that my family picks up trash where ever we visit in Alaska. My 5 year old freaked out on us once she realized the plight of the whales and that it was filmed here, but it was a fabulous movie experience!!!!!

I enjoyed the movie. i didn't read any of the reviews before going. This made it so much better. Don't necessarily buy into the cynics and what they say about the movie. Go see it form your own opinion. It shows what we could be if we would cooperate with each other.

My husband and I really liked the film. The acting was excellent and a few actors I didn't know were in the film turned it wonderful performances. The cinematography was beautiful, and since this was based on a true story, there was real TV coverage woven into the movie. It seemed to stay pretty true to the actual incident. Recommended for anyone of any age who has empathy towards animals. You'll learn some things about grey whales too. These mammals are magnificent. It's realistic, inspiring, funny, and a must see!
