This is a beautifully shot film in full blu-ray 3-D, although some parts seem 2-D because white on white doesn't make for a strong enough contrast --just as would be the case if we were actually there. However, the shots of the bears, the caribou, the walruses and the men, dogs and sled are clearly 3-D. The cinematography never fails to amaze. Best just to quiet the mind and open oneself to the overpowering beauty and awesomeness of the scenery. This is a place I'll probably never go, but the 3-D took me there. As some ad says, "You're either watching a film, or you're part of it." I felt part of this.
Sure, the film strongly addresses the deterioration of the ice caps and glaciers. Doesn't matter what you think is causing this slow-moving catastrophe. Any sane person will agree we should do whatever we can to slow it down. There's a good chance our children's children (if they haven't left the planet) will be struggling to survive if we are inattentive to this people-destroying event. The polar bears and birds are only among the first to show the effects.
What can a person say? Either we understand that we are helping to slowly choke off Mother Earth's ability to nurture us, or we'd rather be either a politician trying to hold on to power or one of his/her devotees. Nearly all the world's most prominent and well-respected scientists (about 98% at last international count) call this a no-brainer. There is nothing political ultimately about being choked into extinction. Death is death both to Democrats and Republicans.
Meanwhile, Meryl Streep's narration is outstanding, and the Beatles' songs used (of which another reviewer said, "Ick"!!!!) are wonderful to hear in clear 5.1 sound. Even if you hate thinking about "climate change", I would buy this,turn off the sound, put on your favorite music, and become immersed in the amazing visual experience this film affords--particularly in 3-D.
