12/11/2019 Nice family movie and who doesn't love dolphins? Eye of the Dolphin is a family drama that will appeal to anyone who likes movies with the hard edges blunted and the narrative bumps smoothed. There's real heart to be found in the story but it comes along with borderline saccharine sentimentality, a too facile ending, and clean outcomes that aren't earned. The film's final scenes frustrate, not because bad things happen but because there's a sense that the movie has cheated us by substituting a resolution of convenience instead of one of substance. Among its assets, Eye of the Dolphin counts wonderful photography (both above and below water) and an effective performance by leading actress Carly Schroeder. Tween and teen girls will identify with her and the character she plays, and this makes the movie targeted strongly at them. Older viewers who are hoping for something with more heft may be disappointed. See more 06/08/2014 it is very good movie See more 10/02/2013 it was ok. nice music and I liked how the girl changed and the moral of the story was nice. But it failed to touch me unfortunately. See more 09/26/2009 Troubled girl goes to live with her completely unknown father. The trick is that the father lives in the Bahamas and is a dolphin scientist. From this premise you can imagine the rest, girl bonds with father, girl bonds with dolphins, girl solves her problems plus her father's problems. If you think it seems too good to be true, well maybe it is. Sometimes I would look closely at the movie and wonder if this is a promotional video made by the Bahamas Council. The plot it is a mere excuse for a succession of very beautiful scenes by the seaside, Alyssa swimming with the dolphins, sailing with his father and walking in the stunning beaches of the Bahamas. It is just a shame that the story it is so badly explained, that the dialogues are so clumsy and the end is so easy. See more 04/21/2009 It is slow, but relaxing and very good See more 04/02/2009 I was part of the team that promoted this film, and when I finally saw it, I was glad that I did (both saw it and promoted it). Wow, what a great inspirational film. Again, it shows what one experience can do to someone's life - be a life changer, a life saver, and a life believer. This film left me glued to the screen throughout. For an independent film, this is one of the best. Very well done. See more Read all reviews
