Somewhat Like A Greenpeace Message
If "Sammy's Adventures" seems rather predictable and dull, it isprobably because Belgian director Ben Stassen seems so carried away byits anti-pollution and environmental messages that he misses out on theplot and the action. However, the visuals in this underwater opus aretop-notch (especially in 3D) and way better than Stassen's last effort"Fly Me To The Moon".
I also like the way Stassen tells the story from a turtle's eye view -which will go a long way in educating children on undersea life andprotecting those creatures and our ecology. The movie is about a greensea turtle who is hatched in 1959 and spends the next 50 yearstravelling the world while it is being changed by relentless whale andshark fishing, pollution and global warming. Hours after being hatched,Sammy (voice of Yuri Lowenthal) finds and loses the love of his life, apretty hatchling called Shelly (Isabelle Fuhrman of Orphan fame).
On the epic journey across the oceans that all turtles must accomplishbefore returning to the beach where they were born, Sammy dodges everydanger in the hope of meeting Shelly again. On the way, he also hasencounters with humans, both good and bad, as well as toothy sharks andpiranhas.
It is easy to root for Sammy and his pals not only because they arecute but also because they are sporting and gutsy. With its storyspanning over 50 years, Stassen marks the milestone periods with humanevents (like the hippies of the Sixties and the Greenpeace protests)and with classic songs on the soundtrack. Of course, the Beatles arerepresented with their hit, 'Across The Universe' (what else?).
On the downside, character development seems to be at a minimum forsome - and the 3D thrills (read action and stunts) are nowhere asimpressive as those of "Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole".Indeed, from the numerous death-defying scraps that Sammy escapes from,we wonder how he can have such an 'enchanted' life indeed if not forfar-fetched plotting. Nevertheless, it is an entertaining sea-worlddocumentary for the kids. - LIM CHANG MOH (limchangmoh.blogspot.com)

For children up to 4 or 5 years old
Just saw the movie yesterday at cinema in 3D. If you want to see thismovie in a cinema theater, don't. It's like watching a very dullscreen-saver for 2 and a half hours. There is no plot, no action, nocomedy scenes, nothing. Just two turtles floating around in the ocean.The animation and 3D effects are in no way close to what can beaccomplished in 2010. Speech was not synchronized with mouth movement,for some of the scenes they did not bother adding any sound effects atall (in the scene where the hippie plays some drums around a camp fire,you can only hear the fire, but not the drums), human movement was veryunnatural. The whole movie looked like it was developed in a basementor small apartment by a 12 year old on his old PC. Very disappointing,not a movie worthy of a cinema theater. It's not good when the bestpart of the whole movie is the watered down coke you buy at the cinemastore.

Gave it a 10 for the 3D
Don't listen to the 3D snobs, the 3D on this film is wonderful. My kidswatched it in Thai while I listened to tunes on my I-Pod (because Ican't speak Thai). Amazing. If you're a teenager looking for fartjokes, glib one-liners, sexual innuendo, or pop culture references,you'll be disappointed. But if you can just relax into the outdoor andunderwater and nature scenery you'll have a great time. The 3D pops outat you like the old traditional style on steroids. During the scenewhere the turtles are hatching, it actually feels like you're leaningover a hole on the beach. Snakes and piranhas jump out of the screenand and tiny fish hover at your nose.
I do agree the story seemed kind of clich?. But if you are looking fora kind of thrill ride of 3D with wonderful art direction, you'll loveit. So glad I have kids or might never have experienced the best 3D Ihave personally experienced.
