I have been a Seaworld fan since 1998 - particularly the Shamu show. Many have said that Blackfish is very one sided, personally I don't think it was. That POV has only been depicted in human stories, but the fate of the kids is far worse. Your family is cornered with no means of escape, and the strangers abduct your children. Perhaps even setting him free near Iceland, where he was abducted, would have been a viable option. BLACKFISH unravels the complexities of this dichotomy, employing the story of notorious performing whale Tilikum, who-unlike any orca in the wild-has taken the lives of several people while in captivity. I, like many, have visited 'Sea World' and been awestruck by the spectacle of their shows.

| Rating: 4/5 I was so eager to watch this being a huge lover of Orca whales, it lived up to my expectations and more. The inteligence in their eyes is there for all to see and it is WE who pay to watch a show whereby they perform for our ammusement is a shameful thing.These graceful creatures belong in the wild to roam our oceans free of molestation and abuse.As with sharks they kill only when they need to, out of necessity, and that is all.We pray on anything that moves, including ourselves.Humans, the superior being?
