Excellent documentary film making!

Previous comment of this movie bashed the Captain and his crew and the Movie, too. Sure, we must listen to both negative and positive comments. But the details of the movie become irrelevant if we look at the broader picture: how the Animals become extinct, how the Animals have no way of defending themselves against evil human technology and its byproducts: fishing lines, overfishing, drag-netting thousands of years of corral riff beds into thousand year ocean deserts, etc. Regardless of "humorous" film details, "inexperienced crew", "veggies", "idealism", "nothing but the power of hope", "suicidal", But think about it: if not the Sea Shepperd, with their "nothing but the power of hope", then WHO will inform the world and keep the world AWARE of the very sensitive balance of the Nature the humans can destroy? Yes, it might take some "ego bolstering", "getting attention to set themselves up as martyrs", etc, but in this case THE MEANS WELL JUSTIFY THE ENDS: the end result is that the World is AWARE of the fine and very sensitive balance that Humans can destroy at will. It does not matter how we engage the viewer - as long as we achieve the very much needed RESULT - AWARENESS.
