Laughable Pure FICTION script to match pieced clips. Narration from Portman is OK- for young kids script like bedtime tale.
ERRORS in script: Only Florida has few mud ring hunting dolphin pods - takes 5 yrs minimum to learn. No Polynesian island spotted dolphin hunts in mud rings. Too much time wasted on male mantis shrimp esp no female mantis shown which is VIP to male. Cuttlefish do NOT eat large mantis shrimp, they eat tiny crabs. Tiger sharks do NOT hunt & eat other sharks- PPL named it "Tiger" due to its stripes.
Omitted FACTS: Nature controls predators population by very limited breeding & most predator babies die; 1 in 1000 sharks may survive to adulthood; whales breed 1 in 4-5 yrs, whale calf usu dies after leaving mother. Only hardiest survive, then PPL slaughter them or die from OUR garbage that's flooded entire planet; or ship strikes bc ships been using whale routes daily instead of moving away from known areas; includes giant expanding ports; globally very great city is founded next to ancient whale cove.
FALSE SCRIPT : "if left alone, corals will thrive." NO. Our global pollution can be seen from SPACE!!! Wide poison flows out rivers & beach drains 24/7 globally into every sea. THAT kills all corals, incl overfishing, & plethora of HUMAN activity in sea from recreational boating to huge shipping cargo fleets to oil drilling; of course global warming of seas by over 1% = death of ALL corals ( bleaching) billions sea lives, no coral regeneration. Seas have already warmed 1%- thus loss of 1/3 Great Barrier Reef, vital sea ice in both poles, & extreme global severe weather. These 2018 Facts again all LACKING here.
FALSE script: dolphins & sharks do NOT socialize, they're enemies. Adult male Dolphins ram sharks so mothers & young can escape. Male humpbacks don't fight to "escort females with newborns." Humpbacks battle to mate at same time other females give birth & many newborns get injured if mother cannot escape unwanted courting with newborn. Mother whales all STARVE for 8 mos, so she must have enough reserves to feed calf or no milk & both may die. ALL large whales are single moms.. Male whale escorts may be allowed months later at end of migration to poles.
Fact: Orcas do kill whale calves but usu hunt them when there's a whale baby boom, & orcas do NOT fail in newborn hunts that take 4-6 hrs, exhausting calf which is then easily drowned.. Male humpbacks CAN be nearby & do sometimes help but usu fail bc orcas are skilled fast group hunters.
This 2018 script & film is PURE FICTION, showing pristine coral reef = big lie. Reefs looked like this 75 yrs ago, not after 2000.
Most VIP is coral reefs CAN become pristine again IF PPL CHOOSE to change, stop over fishing, stop oil drilling, stop polluting, govts enforce anti pollution acts agreed in past & enact new laws, esp ENFORCEMENT OF laws, to MANAGE seas that benefits all. Stop short term greed that's killing our future & kids future too.
Fact: Plastic, abandoned fishing nets that both degrade, pollute & kill ALL sea life has increased; incl using ocean as human garbage dump for every toxin, biohazard, radiated waste, fleets of floating garbage that are let loose on the seas until it sinks.
Re dolphins- fact: Pretty & young dolphins like Echo in film are hunted to spend lifetime of misery imprisoned in new global marine parks for ppl entertainment lead by Sea World. Echo would witness his entire family slow brutal screaming slaughter in Japan's coves ( secret govt sanctioned yrly atrocity hidden from Japanese ppl) & be expected to perform in marine parks. Many young dolphins die from shock after slaughter. Dead dolphin still looks like it's smiling- that's their biological curved mouth curse- ppl think they're "smiling" when they're truly suffering. Dolphins cannot change upwards curved mouth. But they do express joy vocally & posturing when FREE & play, incl surf. Those are facts NOT in this fictitious tale.
Dolphins like all sea life are facing extinction. When that happens, PPL shall suffer greatly, & die out slowly too.
1 good message in film is debunking shark myth. But NOT showing huge depletion & millions sharks, all sea life from turtles to blue whales, killed in gargantuan fishing nets as "by catch" , dumped back into sea as trash for past 40 yrs 24/7 is totally irresponsible in 2018 ; now viewer think seas are just fine, packed with life, when the truth is complete OPPOSITE.
For those who don't want to "scare" kids", pretty lies are NOT the answer since it's same kids who are & shall struggle their ENTIRE LIVES in this once incredible Eden, & same kids will suffer lifelong consequences of those adults choosing to do nothing, refusing to change for all PPL survival. Changes needed are not hard nor costly.
Disney continues to stream THESE SHAMEFUL LIES as factual documentary.
SKIP THIS & watch BBC Blue Planet 1 & 2; Plastic Ocean, & for kids 10 yrs +, "Seaspiracy" docu filmed in 2010 ( Netflix) for global reality, & see small daily choices EVERY ONE can make that'll create true global difference.
