Reviews

Tampa Bay Times - Steve Persall
The movie seldom bridges the gap between education and entertainment, a trait that made "March of the Penguins" a must-see multiplex experience.
70
Village Voice - Unnamed
Turtle still has cinematographer Rory McGuinness's remarkable visuals in its favor, though, and reveals how even innocuous human activites curtail the loggerheads' centuries-in-the-making migration with refreshing subtlty.

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
The loggerhead turtle's journey is indeed incredible. But you would rather the narration, delivered intelligently by Miranda Richardson, didn't feel a need to remind you of this fact so frequently.

Orlando Sentinel - Roger Moore
It's a bit long to be as kid friendly as this educational and visually striking film is meant to be.

New York Post - Lou Lumenick
I'd guess Turtle: The Incredible Journey will appeal most to kids, though they will have to wrestle with 3-D glasses.
