Turtle: The Incredible Journey

Turtle: The Incredible Journey is no cartoon or kids story. Produced by Seaworld and National Geographic, the quality of this fim, it's photography and story line is first rate. It is an amazing story of survival that should be required viewing for everyone who goes to any beach. Today only 1 in 1000 hatchlings survives to reproduce. At this rate the oldest visitors to our beaches will soon just be a memory. This movie had me rooting for the little hatchling from its emergence from the nest until the end when it returned to lay its eggs only to find the natural habitat it was born in was developed. Buy it and share it! then, think about what you can to do get the sea turtles off the endangered and protected species list.

My students LOVE this movie. It captivates them and often leaves them on the edge of their seats. I use it every year when studying animal behaviors and adaptations. The sea turtle's journey is unbelievable!

I have waited for this movie to be released for must be getting on for a year, the release date kept being delayed.But have finally received it.I adored it, the treacherous journeys these little turtles have to make is incredible I was so very sad to hear that very few of the hatchlings actually make it all all.From the moment they poke their little heads out of the sand they are in imminent danger, I watched a lot of the movie with the hands covering my eyes when it was obvious what was going to happen..Loggerhead turtles are beautiful creatures and they will always have a piece of my heart,A movie to treasure.

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary, as did my six year old. We cried tears of sadness, as well as tears of joy. I recently learned that in fifty years our oceans are said to contain more plastic than fish. Whether this prediction is accurate or not seems irrelevant. The bigger picture, that we are destroying the sustainability of entire ecosystems, is a far more profound ominous warning. So, when my child I learned about the amazing ancestral journey of the loggerhead and the 1:10,000 rate of survival while watching the amazing cinematography in Turtle: The Incredible Journey was invaluable. I hope everyone finds this documentary as breath taking and as impactful as we did.

A superb film, full of beautifully taken pictures, it brought me a better understanding about the different phases of the development of a turtle.If it was used advanced technologies to reach its final quality, it doesn't matter. What is really important is the message behind these pictures, it made me think... Will it be possible that Homo Sapiens will be alone, watching as the principal agent and cause of the destruction of our beautiful planet?

An interesting documentary but I thought it was going to be more of a story. There wasn’t much character development. It was facts about sea turtles. Sea turtles are great so if you like sea turtles you’ll like it but it’s not really a story with character development or much of a plot. It follows the life cycle of a sea turtle.

This is a great story about sea turtles and their journey of life. Did you know that only 1 in 10,000 sea turtles live to be breeding age which is 21 years old? The story is cute and the video footage is amazing. It also shows whales, sharks, crabs, and other ocean life but is primarily about the journey of a loggerhead turtle. It should be watched by everyone so they can learn about ocean life.

I show this movie every year to my classes as part of our migration/life cycle unit. They absolutely love watching this. From the 'harrowing' opening scene all the way to the end when she returns to start the cycle again. They cheer and Ooh and Ahh every year, which in turns continues to capture my attention for 5 years now.
