clayton-768-475762 Great. Now I have to worry about my children being programmed by the sheeple robots. I don't need my offspring to be preached to by talking sea life. I want my children to think for themselves, not follow some PC version of gaia religion posing as pseudoscience. Next time, I will enlighten them to the joys of Roadrunner and Coyote or Bugs Bunny. To think, I have been worried about the sex and violence my kids might see. At least with porn, you know going in what you are going to see. I now have to worry about them being sent to reeducation camps per the USSR. How can a group of obviously talented people lend their art to such rubble? I will take notice of these people and will steer clear of any project they are associated with in the future. I feel violated by these people. They have lost my money and the money of others I can educate.

Jim Harris Going beyond the mediocre attempt at 3D, this global warming propaganda movie was such misinformation, that I had to watch it with my daughter (who was home sick from school), so that I could explain all of factual errors. First off, I agree with global warming. It's been happening slowly for the last 18,000 years, and during the Holocene Maximum, between 6,000 and 9,000 years, the earth was 10 degrees CELSIUS HOTTER than now, and yet polar bears somehow survived. Hmm. Our planet is a cyclical planet, and there has been a warming period before every ice age. The climate on earth was also hotter between 1910 and 1940 than it has been from 1970 to the present. But if it helps Al Gore sell more green toilet paper...

nanax1559 Perfect film for its target audience. It seems to me that the other reviewers did not see this film with the intended audience. 4 to 8 year old kids love it. It's a simple story but the 5 kids I took to see this film for a birthday party loved it (in Paris, last Summer) and so did the other 150 or so film goers in the theater. The characters are adorable. Much better turtles and underwater environments than in the dated "Finding Nemo". The message about the environment was great too. Not patronizing, just the right amount. I wonder how they can do it, at a fraction of the cost of the US budgets for animation. But best of all: the 3D. By far the best use of the technology I have seen so far. Not even Avatar comes close. This alone is worth the price of admission. I have seen several 3D films since and they seem to be getting from bad to worse.

moviexclusive What is the most effective way to make a person feel guilty for being part of the human race? Try making him or her sit through a movie about a cute-looking, adorable-sounding baby sea turtle who struggles to survive against environmentally unfriendly human activity. Swimming through his adventures in the open ocean, Sammy has as much fun as an undertaker on his first day of work. As if contending against natural predators isn't bad enough, he has to dodge plastic litter, trawl fishing nets, illegal dump and oil spills, with only his fragile little shell on his back.Though the praiseworthy green message behind the movie is no less deserving of being explored on the big screen, its delivery is all quite off-putting. For one thing, Sammy's Adventures is presented like a kids' picture book on sea turtles facts – too direct and simple with only a watered-down plot regarding a turtle's desire to see the world to hang onto. Think: this is how sea turtles look like and this is what they eat, this is where they go when they're swimming around in the ocean, this is what they have to go through to survive and this is what we as people, need to do to help them. In fact, at the end of the movie, after going through all of the terrible events of his life, Sammy literally tells us, almost word for word that 'humans should be more environmentally-conscious and that sea turtles need their help to survive, now, more than ever.' Granted, the makers are probably trying to reach out to young audiences with its simple language and story – the target group of this type of genre, but it sounds just a tad too preachy for the rest of us. On a whole, it just lacks the charm and humour that both children and non- children alike, would look forward to in an animated cartoon. They do try to inject some light-heartedness with the funny sidekick character of Sammy's best friend as voiced by Anthony Anderson. If you think he sounds like that black computer hacker genius guy who was taken in by the secret service for looking at the thumbdrive with the secret information in it, then you are right – it is him. To be fair, it's not by Disney Pixar, but the look of the movie is decently entertaining for anyone of any age. And, we have to most probably thank 3D technology for that. The various fast-motion travelling scenes are enjoyable to sit through because tricking your brain into thinking that your body is moving when it's actually not and having things popping up and flying into your face, is always fun.www.moviexclusive.com
