In an exciting atmosphere, this movie, follows the efforts of a news reporter at Alaska, who goes in a mission with his ex girlfriend to save a family of gray whales that are trapped after the forming of ice in the Arctic Circle.
If you're looking for a passable film to take the kids to this weekend, Miracle offers a smart enough take on its feel-good plot to keep adult viewers tuned in.
Big Miracle is not one of those whale tales that leaves the audience blubbering, but it's open to the allure of the imposing creatures, which resemble long boulders that have come to life.
Political cynicism, media opportunism, dogmatic native traditions, corporate greed and environmentalist stubbornness are each, in turn, dashed against this sunny confection.
