To The Arctic takes a brief snapshot of the lives of polar bears and
caribou in the arctic. The claim is that global warming is
making the ice thinner and may even lead to ice free summers by
2050. It is claimed that thinner and further between ice floes are
making it harder for the polar bears to hunt seals and earlier
melting and higher river flows are making it harder for caribou to
migrate, forcing newborn calves to walk long distances during the
migration (the calves used to be born at the caribous' final
destination, but the slower migration is causing them to be born 3
weeks walk away from their destination) and some of them don't make
it. Narrated by Meryl Strep. Shown at the IMAX dome theater at the
San Jose Tech Museum. Four stars.
This movie ranks as Little to No Violence because it has only three
violent scenes in it. These include: a story of male polar
bears attacking polar bear cubs, footage of hunting and eating a
seal and footage of a standoff with a male polar bear.
