Truly Dreadful Film

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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.

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...

I hadn't heard of this movie at all before stumbling onto it on Netflix, so I had no expectations. My husband and I watched it with our two year old son and we all greatly enjoyed it. My son asks to watch it again regularly. Great animation, intriguing story and enjoyable music to accompany it. It does carry a strong message about the environment, pollution, human interference, etc., but I didn't find it bothersome, since it was presented in such a way as to influence kids to be more conscientious about their actions and about the world around them (and really, what is wrong with promoting that sort of behavior?). The story does not steer away from the very real dangers that sea turtles face, so if you have a sensitive or squeamish kid, you may want to pass on this for now, but my son wasn't negatively affected by it at all. Some have suggested the message is too liberal, or that it is annoying to be preached to during a movie, but as a non-liberal myself, I didn't come away with that feeling at all. The issues presented were fact-based, so if you find it distasteful, then feel free to stick your head back in the sand and ignore the reality that surrounds us all. All in all, I recommend this movie!

This is a wonderful film that all ages will enjoy. It is very educational, in covering the life of a turtle, and it is fascinating to watch Sammy and his friends grow up. The script is peppered with events in human history that the turtles can only ponder over, such as a space capsule returning to the ocean after the first lunar landing, and a messy oil spill. At its heart, "A Turtle's Tale" is a love story, with wonderful moments of poignancy. The animation and depiction of sea creatures are beautiful, and the film overall has dazzling colours. The voice talents are all great, and it is clear a lot of care was put into casting each role. The soundtrack, comprised of contemporary pop tunes, is also very entertaining. This is a film that will stick in your memory until it demands a subsequent viewing.
