99% of this amateur filmed docu is about 3 ppl who do some conservation work for tigers. Virtually no tigers scene in entire docu. Lots of time on 3 males chattering on various irrelevant topics. 2 males are tourist guides in India- 1 teen
& 1 man. 3rd is male veteran scientist who darts & measures captured tigers in enclosures, not in wild.
Last 1/3 of film ficuses on same veteran leading Russian/ Baltic state tiger scientist recovering from a tiger attack bc he lost focus & simple enclosure was not strong enough to hold back mother tiger protecting her 2 cubs. That scene is deleted.
India @ time of filming (2018 or earlier bc no smartphones) was trying to keep tourists quiet but things have drastically changed since this film's 2019 release. NOT shown here, since 2018, daily there's hundreds of packed ildling loud trucks, guides yelling in talkies; ppl yelling/ shouting, trucks driving thru entire reserved, ppl trapping Sieka deer, local farming reducing tiger reserve water to 0 or record lows; severe longer hotter record droughts in India. Together ALL have devastating ADVERSE effect on tigers reserves habitats. Also NOT shown here is there's NO PEACE ANYWHERE nor privacy for India reserve tigers that they've literally stopped mating in past 8 yrs.
This Film states Tigers need SILENCE & NO PLL interference. Yet, that fact is not achieved. Rangers on elephants who barely make a sound are better for tigers, not for elephants. Film shows only 2 noisy truck Rangers in India, supposedly preventing tiger poachers. Yet film FAILS to address India's main problem- NO wildspaces for tigers as each preserve is surrounded by masses of ppl & trains; & ppl illegally live IN preserves using treees, fruit, prey as free resources.
Tragically, EVERY country FAILS to enact & punish illegal poaching & trafficking of any endangered animal. Repeat, worst offenders are arrested but released even when caught with loads contraband, endangered animal parts & witnesses.
Skip THIS outdated no tiger film bc BBC with Sir David made best docu on tigers & other wildlife over 30 yrs in his multi hidden camera "SPY series."
See Apple TV 2021 "Yr Earth Changed" & new 2025 Nat Geo "Oceans" for recent update on wildlife with lovely filming,& PROOF how little nature needs to replenish itself & endangered wildlife, ult giving humanity a future.

So film makes huge $$ bc viewers went bc of LOTS over hype & ads of new reboot. Paying Viewer result- disappointment.
Entire reason Cavill was NOT re cast as Superman was bc Gun wanted to reboot the character. So where's the reboot in this film?
Film does not go into any background to Krypton nor Clark as kid.
With no background, there's No reason for "younger" actor as Superman when Cavill & entire stellar cast of prior "Man of Steel" gave superior performances & lots of creativity in sci-fi Krypton. "Smallvill TV"viewers lament their initial reaction to Cavill. Why compare TV show to big budget film anyway?
Bring back Cavill & stellar supporting cast who made perfect Superman film since Reeves. Reeves was very good in 1980s but times have changed.
This film is NOT what was promised by Gun & studio, supposedly delivering new side of the Superman tale. Action itself does not make a good film. Need good plot, casting, script & direction. Adding characters NOT in original source material is distracting fluff, ie super pet. Best superhero films were all grounded in source material- the COMIC books written generations ago with all ppl involved including cast honoring source material. Just being a great fan with knowledge of comics still doesn't make an actor or director good choice. Actor must still possess realistic portrayal of the comic book character,& director/ producers the ability to create that vision into entertaining memorable film.
This is Skip it film where many wanted refund of costly ticket. Wait until it streams.

If you're breathing, this is DEF must see film that's been hidden from mainstream viewers far too long. 1st 1/2 of film is re new sea wonders & how ppl destroy it. Last 2/2 of film focuses on HOPE. All incl kids must view this gentle Disneyfied truth of our global fishing industry & huge waste of sea life. The real truth is FAR WORSE & brutal, multi billions sea lives killed daily for few target fish/ scallops. Young must see their future WE CHOOSE NOW they must endure.
Many commented how can 1 person help? Science proven answers: Eat vegan meal 2x week = ease off pressure for ALL WILDLIFE & spaces. Bonus: Buy food grown in "repurposed farmland." Extra bonus: Use energy efficient lighting & weather seal one's home, ie., dual paned windows & DIY strips around entrances. THAT's IT. Re fishing, factories; message one's govt rep to protect "3O% of critical seas." Tell friends & family globally.
Here, Sir David with shows 1st the enchanting new sea discoveries, wondrous sea lives that protects ppl by producing oxygen & defends against rapidly changing planet. Then after sea wonders - the hard truth of adverse effects modern industrialized trawling global fishing. Incredibly, this destructive fishing gets 26 Billion $$ of GOVT subsidies from few wealthy countries including USA. Trawling increased since 1980s. Not shown is fact Dumped plastic nets= 45% of all plastics poisoning seas& life ppl eat.
Satellite pics prove every coast & sea is packed with huge nonstop fishing factories. Seeing the massive scale of mankind's thoughtless plunder is UNforgettable. "Trawling" churns lively sea floor into dead grey moonscape seen from space.
3 BILLION coastal/ island PPL of all colors are victims of this horrid trawling method, with no other means to feed themselves , ending all local fisheries & their livelihoods too. Next. The trawler massive "by catch" of all sealife occurring on every ship repeatedly daily is briefly shown. "By catch" scene where all is dumped as trash into seas is Disneyfied & edited. Brutal truth is massive billions of sea lives are semi butchered then dumped back. Film then shows how 1 million sharks are targeted by miles of lines. Again a mild edited shot bc reality is sharks, incl whale sharks & Manta Rey's get all fins/ gills sliced off their wriggling bodies before being dumped back to die horrid death in sea.
Then film shows huge sea factories recent target in critical South Sea ice caps- krill. Krill, most critical food in the polar ecosystem for migrating whales, penguins, & polar fish that feed all seabirds, seals, bears, wolves etc. Seeing our massive krill take by 1 ship is unforgettable. Why krill?? With no abundant fish, Ppl use krill for non-essential ingredients & PET food. What is left for the starving wildlife? Migratory Whales starved 6-8 months swimming to ice polls like the penguins & last nesting sea birds.
Humans have now depleted ALL fish stocks in entire planet. This film focuses only on FISHING, not sea oil drilling, huge trade ships killing whales by strikes, , military pings, atomic testing, our endless noise, pollution & trash.
Now the change. LAST HALF of Film focuses on HOPE. SEAS RECOVER by leaving an area alone in 5 short years. Incredulous trawling is LEGAL in these few protected areas!! WTH??! FILM SHOWs PROOFS OF REAL RECOVERY, even in most devastated seas. In tiny few protected sea areas, abundant sea life returns, reviving local fisheries far away. Even Endangered wildlife recovers. When a larger area is protected & recovery increases 10x, maximizing benefits to ALL PPL. Again film shows proof, not hypotheses.
The Key to our future is "protect 30%" of all seas in select areas, not 3% & stop all trawling in protected areas. Ocean covers 2/3 of this planet. It's doable.
In 2025, UN supposedly agreed on paper to protect 30% by 2030 - but paper is meaningless & USA is not part of UN in 2025.
Now this data & film been released en mass, it's up to each person to pressure one's government representative to sign this agreement & honor it for our future . It CAN be done. I've sent quick message to my reps. Again, spread news to friends& family globally.
Science has proven No healthy ocean = no healthy land for PPLE- no exceptions.
It's always been OUR choice & our future . Def must watch film.
