It's about the film, not the whale.

Some amazing facts about whales I never knew. I wish the film spent more time on that and less on progressive activism.

Whaling is over. I believe Moby Dick catalyzed it in the 1850s, but the filmmaker credits a hippy era recording of whale song. Fine.

Shipping lanes exist because we have offshored our economy to Asia. Globalism did that. The progressives who made this film probably voted for Biden so they could get rid of the evil orange man, but Trump policy brought manufacturing home, resulting in fewer container ships plowing through whale herds. Domestic production goes up, jobs go up. This was before the Fauci-funded Virus.

The film seemed over-scripted. Few believe a week searching for a whale that has been a mystery for 60 years could accomplish anything (but pique grant interest). You get the impression the expedition was solely in service to the film, not mystery whales, as the cliché dialogue and staged drama suggests.

After the credits, a year later, a handheld shot of a school of whales, and the voiceover proclaiming: "there he is!"
