[It's] certainly a serious issue, and one that deserves our undivided attention. It's weird, then, that To The Arctic 3D can't really focus on the topic at hand.

I didn't feel like I learned anything new, and for a documentary that sells itself on doing just that the letdown I felt sadly wasn't much of a surprise.

Yes, it's a classy affair, but the 40-minute doc's at-times-nerve-wracking power comes from the subjects who put a furry face on the ongoing and daunting issue of climate change.

I saw it in 3D, but it was boring... Sorry... IMAX camera quality is fantastic! Polar bears are cute! Meryl Streep's narration was nice! But still boring... Only 40 minutes, but I didn't enjoy it... Sorry...

Very disappointing. Nothing more than a platform for the advocates of global warming.

"Climate change propoganda"? Wow. Some people so resolutely refuse to pull their heads out of their deep, deep states of denial. 95% consensus of scientists worldwide believe the earth climate system is "unequivocally warming". It's a beautiful movie, and a shame that some refuse to see beyond their far right wing political blinders.

Even if you ignore the annoying Climate Change propraganda this is still a very weak documentary with little more than vague off at a distance footage of the animals and covers nothing you won't see in other much better nature documentaries like BBCs excellent Frozen Planet

Love Bears. If you love Bears you will love this movie. 4 stars only because it is short in length and they could have used a better narrator such as Liam Neeson.
