2/5
Some decidedly down-market animation from Germany with a little light environmental messaging and a whole lotta "Finding Nemo" borrowing. Go to Full Review

B-
Enjoyable feature that’s intermittently inspired and big-hearted, even getting semi-epic at times as the production manufactures a risky journey for the main characters and their hope to learn more about Earthly depths. Go to Full Review

4/5
The plot of this whale tale doesn't exactly chart new waters, but its lush, vibrant animation and constant stream of fascinating facts about ocean creatures will keep kids hooked. Go to Full Review

Lisa 4d Sweet story line and the graphics were beautiful See more Jim 5d Our 6 year old grandson wanted to leave halfway through the movie. It just wasn’t very engaging. We stayed and it got a bit better but I would not recommend it. See more Mario Galaxy Movie is good I @MarioGalaxyMovieIsgood 8h Absolutely adorable! See more Zoolinder 23h Its just a cheap ripoff off free Willy, finding Nemo, and shark tale See more Liam E @Thepurpleguy24 1d I AM BEING A VERY VERY NICE MAN I HAVENT SEE THIS YES See more Steven R. @Phaserrays 4d Honestly, half a star is too generous for The Last Whale Singer. It’s unmemorable, boring, and painfully shallow. I walked out of the theater not even knowing what I had just watched, other than a one-dimensional plot pretending to be a deep environmentalist message. The movie mistakes moodiness for substance and slow pacing for depth. None of the characters feel real, the story never earns its own seriousness, and by the end, it feels less like a film and more like a lecture wrapped in dull visuals and empty symbolism. There may have been a message buried somewhere in there, but the movie was too lifeless to make me care enough to find it. See more Read all reviews
