Rating: 2.5/4 -- It's a bit long to be as kid friendly as this educational and visually striking film is meant to be. But it will give you a renewed appreciation for who these creatures are...

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Nick Stringer's documentary about the 25-year migratory cycle of loggerhead turtles has some remarkable underwater footage. Full Review

Rating: B -- Penguins march but sea turtles mostly float through instinctual rituals of reproduction, a process detailed in Turtle: The Incredible Journey. Nick Stringer's nature documentary moves about as fast as its subject, which is to say not very. Full Review

A smartly shot sea documentary delivers its ecological message but does suffer from an overly dramatic narration. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- In this era of Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel, the project seems rather redundant. Full Review

Product Description:

The loggerhead turtle has one of the longest and most difficult migratory patterns of any aquatic animal; sea turtles newly hatched on the East Coast of the United States (usually in Florida) make their way from the sand into the ocean, and then begin a voyage that spans the entire Atlantic Ocean, only to return from whence they came. Filmmaker Nick Stringer follows the loggerhead turtle on a adventure of more than 9,000 miles with only instinct as their guide in the documentary TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. Stringer and his camera crew spent two years following loggerhead turtles on their trip across the ocean, and have captured on film the remarkable life cycle of a beautiful but endangered creature that struggles to survive in an increasingly unforgiving environment. TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.
