Blackfish takes hold of you within a few minutes and never let go until the end. And at this aforementioned end, you'll have a lot of feelings. You'll feel sorry for the animals. You'll feel sorry for the families and friends of the victims. You'll feel sorry for the ex-trainers that feel Seaworld lied to them. But most of all...you'll feel rage towards Seaworld and their likes around the world...but should you?

This is a question that Blackfish never answer, because it's quite one-sided in the telling of this story. That might be because Seaworld refused to participate in this documentary, or it might be because the filmmakers had an agenda. Who knows...but the fact is that there's little debate in this movie that Seaworld is the villain...

The fact that I choose to believe that Seaworld and other corporations that exploit animals purely for profit are villains don't mitigate the fact that they should have heard both sides...

What baffles me to no end, is why people think it's a good idea for humans to get "in the ring" with a dangerous wild animal. Most people with the smallest lick of sense know that a wild animal is just that...a wild animal. If it suits the animal...it WILL turn on you. This is behavior it takes generation after generation of breeding to change, and even then accidents happen...

I feel the conclusions in this documentary is right, even though they never really debates anything. Blackfish is a good documentary and might enlighten a few people to the lack of scruples that corporations that Seaworld shows. I just feel that it COULD have been done a bit differently and achieved the same result...
