Turtle Odyssey

This nature documentary follows the life of a female sea turtle named Bungee from birth to the start of a new generation. It is narrated by Russell Crowe. The cinematography is beautiful. It's a pretty standard nature doc. It's all very good. I'm even willing to accept the standard old style humanization of an animal by pretending to follow the same creature for its life cycle. I highly doubt that the film crew was following the same turtle from hatchling to full grown sea going creature. The difference in this one is Crowe. He has the gravitas of a deep husky voice but it's rather monotone. That leaves the narration droning on and on. It's a workable voice but not the best. This is a workable nature doc.
