To put it nicely - don't waste your time. There are downs of documentaries dealing with whales that are better. This doc struggles to fill its run time and more than 80% of it is just taking heads that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the subject matter, or even cursory forms of the subject matter. I'm absolutely serious - the time spent viewing, discussing, exploring, or educating anyone on whales is less than 20% of this entire film. One researcher, who seems experienced, with a plan, a goal, and multiple ways to professionally complete her tasks is barely in this, meanwhile another, who seems terrible at her job in every way imaginable spends all of 5 mins of the film talking whales, then the other hanging out with her research assistants, doing each other's hair, talking about the real world versus nature, and playing games. Seriously, it feels as if we have 15 mins of an interesting documentary, character and goal, then 90 minutes of some terrible home video nonsense. It's embarrassing, and shocking that anyone bought this.
End notes - ignore this film. You will regret it.
