Reviews
“The film, presented as a nature documentary, is more like a thoroughly entertaining Disney film, only that instead of cartoon creatures it features real animals that are integrated into a human-made adventure story. An insight into arctic life is not given. "
"... is it worth watching? For those seeking insight into the scientific subtleties of climate change, no way. But for those seeking an entertaining way to impart the potentially disastrous affects of global warming on the next generation, most definitely. [...] Like March of the Penguins , Arctic Tale delivers breathtaking images. "
“Is the film worth watching? For those seeking insight into the scientific intricacies of global warming, certainly not. But for those looking for a fun way to bring the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming to the next generation, certainly yes. [...] Like The Journey of the Penguins , Arctic Tale delivers breathtaking images. "
"... this National Geographic production [...] uses its narrative artifice to serve the greater good. [...] The movie's stunning underwater photography [...] effectively dilutes the saccharine tone. "
“... this National Geographic production [...] uses the trick of narration to serve the greater purpose. [...] The overwhelming underwater shots effectively weaken the sweet narrative style. "
“The Arctic - once known as" the land that never melts, "habitat of polar bears, walruses, narwhals and arctic foxes - is now about to dissolve into the ocean. Nowhere on earth does the ice melt faster. Nowhere is climate change more evident. The film shows us how urgently we have to act and what needs to be preserved. "
