This movie appears to be nothing more than an expensive press release for the 'grind', which is a bloody massacre of thousands of sentient whales - many of which never get eaten anyway. None of us made it through the screening, which was so tasteless in its showing of blood and gore. It is a disturbing movie to say the least, and it constantly contradicts its logic without having the slightest idea it is doing so. It is all emotionally based, and the entire film seems to be some act of revenge against the Sea Shepherd. It tries to make out the Sea Shepherd as the villains and the Faroe people as saints who are being put upon by these clueless invaders who want to stop their 'culture'. They try to make some environmental points, but these points have been made elsewhere and better. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the cinematography is decent.
