Blackfish Ratings & Reviews
- The Gutter MonkeyNovember 19, 2025It made my heart hurt.
- Jason “Iakona” VrioniMarch 24, 2025This is one of the most indepth look at a killer ( Orca ) Whales life never seen before. This truly needs to be shown to the populations of all man kind and children to learn.
- David C.June 19, 2025I thought it was a very enlightening documentary, although after watching it it made me sick to think about the poor Orca that are being brutally captured and severely traumatized! And if that's not bad enough, they're locked down & bullied into performing stunts to entertain people?! God have mercy on those poor unfortunate creatures, they are so beautiful & to train them for exhibitions is completely hideous! Those beautiful creatures have a greater intelligence than most humans do & yet as human beings we do unmentionable things to them! All so those vile & disgusting owners of SeaWorld... among other "entertainment parks" like it, can get rich off the misery caused by these morally bankruptcy people brutally capturing, & then holding the poor creatures captive in inhumane conditions, while people abuse & mistreat them, as well as manipulate & psychologically damage them, just so some sleazy water park owners & the ignorant people who support these parks through the money paid to them profit off these poor creatures misery, & not only permanently harming them, but by cutting their life drastically short! Please people, lobby to Ban All Places such as SeaWorld for their graphic Abuse to these majestic and wonderful creatures! Let them live the way they were intended to live, Free without being interfered with and molested by Human Beings! They're called "Killer Whales" but unscrupulous and immoral Human Beings are the true Killers and the real threat to this planet & the wonderful creatures that inhabit it! After seeing & knowing what atrocities man regularly commits to them and other wildlife, I'm truly ashamed of being Human! 😪💔
- TimaHuntzJune 27, 2025Absolutely heartbreaking watching these magnificent sentient beings forced into tiny tanks and being made to perform for mindless morons! How can we think humans are compassionate when we STILL DO THIS??!!!
- StairwaytothestarsOctober 7, 2025It is heartbreaking, despicable, and disgraceful what some people do to other species, and all heavenly creatures deserve and have the right to be free!
