Fantastic!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I had already sent off my application to volunteer with Sea Shepherd before I heard about Whale Wars. I decided it might be a good idea to get a heads up on exactly what these volunteer missions entail. I was slightly hesitant about watching footage of any actual killing,However the emphasis should definitely be on 'Wars' more than 'Whales'. Guerilla warfare,strategic planning and tactical manoeuvres all come into play as Sea Shepherd,armed with intelligence, helicopters,ships,and speedboats go in hot pursuit of the Japanese whaling fleet in an effort to disrupt as much of their whaling activities with direct action ,moving as close to the line as possible without crossing it.They frequently put their lives in danger and risk the wrath of the hunters on board who are not afraid to defend their ships.Captain Paul Watson is usually one step ahead as he plans his next move and he and his crew stop at nothing to ensure the whalers are under constant attack often with serious consequences.Miss at your peril!

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to confess that I've only been able to sit through three episodes over the last two years. I gave it a chance, it was crap. I gave it a second chance and, yup, still crap. A friend told me to try again but it was crap. From five minutes in, you just want the remote in your hand to stifle the stupidity and boredom, interlaced with watching stupid people do stupid things.A college professor once told me that being ignorant is worse than being stupid. If you're stupid you don't know, but if you're ignorant you must have "ignored" the lesson. That is, you could have learned but chose not to. These people are ignorant.Activists have a valid place in our world, and I do not dispute the Sea Shepards' right to raise money, sail boats to frigid waters, and protest. I do not even dispute their right to protest with potentially life threatening tactics. There are consequences to such protests, which make the news from time to time but are best remembered as Rosa Parks (who got arrested for sitting on the bus). These people just don't seem to understand.A bunch of idiots who have no idea how to navigate or maintain a complex system like a ship remind me of the Children's Crusade in history class. Idealism is great, but these people risk no only their own individual lives, but their co-volunteers, on a daily basis. Do none of them see that? None of the "officers" of these ships have a clue how to lead, how to delegate properly, or even how to operate the ship. Each episode seemed to be made on a "best guess" theory of operations with an "at least we're trying" denouement. The comedy is unintentional; however welcome it comes about, because they're ignorant. Do these people not train at all? Even the drama is false. The Japanese ship uses an acoustic device to defeat the anti-whalers? How rude! Did they actually think that the whalers were going to help them? They can't possibly think that the whalers were not going to respond to their interventionist protest, yet that's what they certainly appear to believe. Idiots. Cutting together three elitists I watched, I might get 10 minutes of compelling and interesting video. Out of one season, you might get a good two hour documentary. But episodic bumbling is not entertainment.

Whale Wars is an OK introduction to the Sea Shepard conversation organization, but follows PC sensationalism in exclusively keying in on human stories, and therefore misses on the real story that Sea Shepard is about: the whales!! There is essentially nothing about what whales are about, how humans have terrorized and murdered these creatures for centuries, how terribly whales die by harpoons and other torture devices utilized by modern whaling ships, how little we know about whales' consciousness and social behavior, how much we do know about them. Without any providing emphasis about the most justifiable reasons for not murdering whales, the series misses out on the main points that should be made in support of Sea Shepard. Even so, this series provide a good introduction to the organization, and should help with awareness and fund raising. Paul Watson obviously approves, but one has to suppose for pragmatic reasons.

Real eco-warriors trying as hard as possible to stop whaling with nonviolent but extremely provocative tactics. Some might call them terrorists for throwing stink-bombs to stop fake "research whaling" while the Japanese whalers hurl back explosive flash grenades to keep making millions of dollars in international waters to kill the largest mammals on the planet. The camera and film crew show the sea shepherd crew as extremely inexperienced, morally conflicted, scared, but determined and undoubtedly brave, while the whalers are generally not shown. This makes the show a little too one sided.Also the show makes no secret of the sea-shepherds real intentions: to get as much publicity as possible in an attempt to get public opinion against the whaling companies. Love it or hate it...it's definitely not boring. Test your morals...which side is right.
