2.5/5
[It's] certainly a serious issue, and one that deserves our undivided attention. It's weird, then, that To The Arctic 3D can't really focus on the topic at hand. Go to Full Review

I didn't feel like I learned anything new, and for a documentary that sells itself on doing just that the letdown I felt sadly wasn't much of a surprise. Go to Full Review

Yes, it's a classy affair, but the 40-minute doc's at-times-nerve-wracking power comes from the subjects who put a furry face on the ongoing and daunting issue of climate change. Go to Full Review

Ron S May 17, 2013 Visually it was fitting for the IMAX Theatre. It presents some excellent nature scenery, but it got boring fairly quick. The narration and story weren't interesting enough for me. If it was any longer I would have fallen asleep. (First and only viewing - 5/11/2013 in theaters) See more
