I have been a member here on IMDb for over 15 years and I have never left a review nor given any movie a 1!!
Sure the movie tugs at the heartstrings as that is the entire intention of the film. I perused the other seven reviews and somehow they were able to glean from this outrage of a movie something meaningful about global warming.
I was at minimum expecting a brief message at the end of the movie where the audience could go to read the multiplicity of scientific evidence that the polar caps are melting at an alarming rate!!
All of the studies done in the last decade have indicated the data used was to say the least inconsistent and mostly wishful thinking. All of the scientists who participated in these studies have confessed their error in establishing the models used to predict the warming of the polar caps. Many have requested and begged mae colpa as they now realize their models were off by no less then 100%!!
Nowhere in the movie is there any solid evidence given of the particularly dire straits the polar bears (now called Ice Bears and what kind of doublespeak is that!!) in adapting to a much more challenging environment where food during the summer months is particularly scarce.
The only hint given is the narrator says they will learn to adapt which is not proven in any study!! If you listen with a good pair of headsets you can't hear micro wavering in the narrator's voice when she feels emotionally distraught with the script.
I am greatly perplexed at what Disney was attempting to accomplish with the movie as released. They certainly are not making an Impactful environmental statement!!
The movie about the making of polar bear it is a much better movie overall!! Not that it gets into great detail about what faces the polar bear in the next 30 to 50 years but at least there is some discussion about the early melting of the ice shelf as well as the diminishing glaciers which helped contain the ice shelf.
I would not in good conscience want any impressionable children to watch the polar bear movie BUT I would certainly encourage parents to have them watch the making of the movie which is infinitely more informative and raises questions a parent can discuss with their child about the dangers the bears face.
