Even the film’s notable points seem to emerge only briefly before sinking beneath the surface, lost in a sea of murky conspiratorial thinking.

I'm in awe at the courage and persistence that went into the making of this film. Kudos too to Netflix for making it available to stream. Like "Cowspiracy," it's revelatory, exposing the grip money has even on organizations that label themselves as environmental champions, because of where their donations come from. Watch this and you'll rethink fish as an alternative to meat after you've watched the other one. There's only one solution. Do your part, for your own sake and those who come after you. Make the change.
Report
Following the facts in this problematic horror-doc leads to the frighting conclusion that the only viable option left for anyone concerned about our collapsing ocean ecosystems is to stop eating seafood, everything, even farmed fish, seaweed is the only **** this seems a bit dramatic well strap in, because it's looking like the shock horror of The Cove (the documented rounding-up of wild dolphins in Japan for sale into the captive dolphin entertainment industry) is only the beginning, it gets a lot worse, this is perspective-changing filmmaking on a global scale
Yes there are significant problems with the film, familiar presentation issues that are pushing me away from Netflix productions and indeed the whole platform, a dishonest discovery-narrative, crude and manipulating expository animations and a vegan seafood advert wedged in at the end that will only enhance the calls of 'vegan propaganda', but this is clearly an important story, filmed by young and bold filmmakers, the cinematography is excellent and the interviews well-executed, and I don't want to let production problems and a few directional missteps get in the way, they got it made and released despite the challenges, it's a flawed but still-effective package and it will be difficult for critics to dispute the testimony of interviewees such as the marine biologist and esteemed life-long oceanographer Sylvia Earle
Much as this story is an amalgamation of several agendas and narratives it also makes a clear accusation, that the global fishing and non-plant-based-aquaculture industry is committing a short-sighted economically driven ecocide, destroying the ocean ecosystems and destabilising the planet, endangering all our lives, and filling the ocean with plastic waste, and that even if you don't buy or eat fish you are supporting this activity as a taxpayer through generous government **** this film joins the dots and that accusation begins to hold water I guarantee that you will sit up in your chair and begin to look for a bucket

I watched the movie due to what I read in the newspapers.
I came in with some bias, but I think I managed to get it under control.
While I wouldn't call it completely factual as some people have, I wouldn't go as far as calling it Vegan indoctrination either as some Fishiers Trade Groups have. Since it clearly isn't. But due to it being labeled as a Doc, rather than some opinions by Netflix, I have to give it a 4. It clearly isn't factual, and movies/fake docus that obviously try to push a narrative over facts don't get flying colors in my book, and it being debunked at multiple points by a number of different people including marine biologists and researchers, people who clearly haven't been involved in the production of this film!
I'd much rather watch/attend a lecture on the endangerment of marine species due to over-fishing rather than some lackluster movie made by non-professionals.
Report
While I appreciate the effort of Mr. Tabrizi to inform the viewers about the link between oceanic subsystems and the global climate system, the omission of overpopulation is a typical ecology for dummies mistake . Back in the 1960s people like Hardin and Ehrlich were not messing around , they were spot on. The fishery problem, or the plastic and climate behemoths are no Mr Robot Evil corp conspiracies but all different versions of the massive human overpopulation. And no there are no silver bullets , not for rich or poor countries equally , every solution takes decades and resources we dont have . So yeah stop eating fish but dont be so woke , naive and one issue about the planet of the humans . Watch Anthropocene instead or HOME by Bertrand.
