Blackfish (2013)

I went in expecting some "save da whales" shit. Pretty much got what I expected. No new information gleaned other than shady corporation are still being shady. Still the fact that I still enjoyed it meant it probably got something right. Well-made at the least.

Blackfish (2013)

As a kid I've been to SeaWorld and still have a picture of me and what very well could be Tilikum. Seeing breathing taking creatures live was quite amazing, now with hind sight I'm left pretty depressed. I would never spend a cent on this SeaWorld horseshit ever again.

Blackfish (2013)

Convincing. These fish (mammals?) really are too smart to be kept in cages. The film isn't exactly that eye opening (what animal would want to live in those conditions?), but I'm glad the film has been so successful at raising awareness.
