Movie review: Dolphins: Spy in the Pod

Specially designed seagoing spy cameras track a pod of dolphins revealing amazing insights about dolphin life. Follow along with spy-dolphin, spy-turtle and others, and witness the fastest species of dolphin, mating and social rituals, feeding habits, and more!

Narration: David Tennant

Dolphins: Spy in the Pod takes a unique look at dolphins by joining them as a non-threatening sea creature. This approach allows us to see into the life of a dolphin, how they interact with one another as well as their environment. Though a documentary this series is incredibly entertaining and surprisingly fast moving. And it had spy-turtle! Topping things off is wonderful narration by David Tennant.

Camera work and backgrounds were simply wonderful. The spy creatures used to infiltrate the dolphin pod were amusing and surprisingly good at capturing excellent footage. And the dolphins were much better actors than expected. Sound and soundtrack were nicely done.

Dolphins: Spy in the Pod is a fun and entertaining look into the lives of dolphins. Technical work is very good, and David Tennant narrating only makes it better. If you enjoy nature documentaries or would like to know more about dolphins this is a great choice.

Nothing here to limit audience age.
