REVIEW
This latest IMAX documentary covers some very familiar
ground: global warming and the daily struggle just to survive in this harsh
environment. By focusing on a mother polar bear and her twin seven-month-old
cubs their plight becomes evident but the solutions are not.
Meryl Streep narrates with feeling and Sir Paul McCartney
has written some new songs that almost overwhelm the viewer. But not quite, as
the majestic landscape rivets our attention as the background to a serious
problem.
Although the producers have avoided including anything of a
gory nature, that does not mean to say the film is without some sense of
pending doom. By contrast, the cubs provide more than a few moments of levity
so it’s a nice balance.
