"Whales: An Unforgettable Journey" is a 45-minute nature documentary on the animals mentioned about the title. Yes, whales are fast swimmer, but because of their huge size, this seems like a very slow movie. This is not a criticism, it's just how things are. However, this is also why it becomes a slow movie and a film like this needs a narrator who really nails his part and makes this an interesting experience that is worth the watch. In my opinion, Patrick Stewart ("Star Trek") did fine for the most part, but the women who narrated a lot as well, especially in the second half, had the talent to talk somebody to sleep. This, unfortunately, is the reason why I cannot give this little documentary more than ***/*****. In terms of the directors, writers and producers, pretty much everybody did a good job. I cannot say that there are many moments of true greatness, but it's a rock-solid watch from start to finish and you can see that Emmy winners were in charge here. Competent approach, but still I must say that this could have been easily a great film with some improvements in certain areas and not just the good one it turned out to become. Recommended.
