i haven not review on imdb before but this documentary be so overrated that i felt compel to vent . i wouldn not have even finish watch if i hadn not be a guest at someone house . the film be poor on many level represent first treadwell video footage be contrive . the more i watch and the more he seem to be act a a person desperate to be famous instead of one act out of conviction . second the others in the film and with the exception of treadwell parent and the airline pilot and be just a contrive and corny a he be . god and they seem artificial . third treadwell mission to protect the bear doesn not even make sense a he do more harm than good by make the bear grow accustom to human presence . i believe that treadwell really do love the bear but there be much research which indicate his effort be misguide . sometimes we have to sacrifice our enjoyment of wildlife to really help . fourth the film entertainment value wasn not half that of other wildlife film such a march of the penguin and wing migration . the filmmaker and in my opinion and do a poor job of sequence scene and give little incentive to keep watching . a a person who love alaska and bear and and other wildlife and i would love to see more people dedicate to the preservation of our wildlands . hopefully their effort will be less people center .
