This Movies Out Seem To Loven By Few People Trying To Save The Other Species As More Than Thinking Our By As Per Media TRP Upgraders Or Any Sources That They Could Get There Save Their Life. But As Usual Sooner Or Later People Awaken As Come As Possible To Save Them But In The End One Doesn't Come Alive. But Big Miracle Is That Hope That Some Thing Big Help Come In Their And The Few People Were Around Helping DestinedBig Miracle Is Loosely Based On A True Story And Utilizes TV News Clips From The Reagan Era That We Felt Made The Film Very Realistic. Ancient Traditions, Multi-Generational Challenges, Morality, Ethics, Friendship, Love And Social Responsibility Are Weaved Into A Story Set In Beautiful Alaska That Made Us Laugh, Cry And Cheer Along With The Characters - It Was A Fun Adventure Into A World We Didn't Know Much About

Well, first I'd like to warn you that this movie is not to be taken seriously. Rachel is a Greenpeace member that tries everything in her power to save three wales that are about to die, due to geographic changes in the environment. In my opinion, the movie is full of cheesy moments, mainly those whose performance was made by Drew Barrymore. I have nothing against her, nor have I seen other of her projects, but her acting in her feels campy, delivering an inauthentic main character. Another problem with this film is the high number of characters, appearing all the time; at times I had difficult to distinguish who was who. Other than that, the photography directing is exceptionally beautiful, making you adore the scenario they have built. Also, I understand that many people felt moved with this picture, but it simply didn't get me going. I mean, it's not like the humans were killing or making light of the wales' problems, given that the trouble was simply geographically natural. It was just nature following its way and being cruel as it sometimes is. So, to wrap things up, "Big Miracle" ends up being just ordinary and bringing nothing new to the genre, but easy entertainment.

This is based on a true story of a family of whales stuck under the freezing ice in Alaska and what happens next. A local news reporter recruits his ex, a Greenpeace volunteer, to save the family of gray whales. Then the whole world started to notice and the world's media descends on them all.Drew Barrymore is a bit too annoying as a Greenpeace activist. She's too shrill and needed to tone down her performance. John Krasinski is great as the everyman. Ted Danson relishes his role as an oil tycoon a little too much. He may have been miscasted. Kristen Bell is good as the ambitious reporter.

After having seen the wonderful "Dolphin Tale" last week, I put "Big Miracle" to the top of my queue, expecting another fine family film about whales, based on true events, and garnering favorable reviews and word of mouth. But unfortunately, while not a bad film, this one was largely disappointing. As others have pointed out, the arctic scenes of brutal cold looked anything but, and the fine cast seemed poorly directed. It was hard to tell if it was supposed to be a comedy or a drama, and ultimately not succeeding much at either, at least for adults. As one reviewer stated, it spent much of the time looking at a hole in the ice. It wasn't the worst film of its kind I have seen, but for me, it was better than fair, but not quite good. I have already watched "Dolphin Tale" three times, but will definitely not ever watch this one again.
