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...

It's hard to pull focus away from the sheer majesty of the story and its stunning imagery.

Nick Stringer's documentary about the 25-year migratory cycle of loggerhead turtles has some remarkable underwater footage.

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.

Tampa Bay Times
A smartly shot sea documentary delivers its ecological message but does suffer from an overly dramatic narration.

In this era of Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel, the project seems rather redundant.

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.
