Leave your thoughts about Sharkwater Extinction.
| Original CinJim SlotekIn Sharkwater Extinction, we also get a glimpse of the sanguine approach Stewart brought to coming face-to-face with the extermination of the creatures he loves. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellStewart's third film is also his best... with scenes of marine genocide that should make us all weep tears of rage. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerStewart believed people would rally to the shark cause if only they knew the gravity of the situation. The film is now made, the word is out and Stewart more than did his part. |
| National PostChris KnightThe sharks have lost their greatest fighter and advocate, but Stewart's message, even had he lived, is clear: It's up to all of us now. |
| The Daily BeastAnne BrodieThe film is highly dramatic, moving and overwhelmingly sad at times, enlivened by what some have called Stewart's "magical" personality. |
| The GateAndrew ParkerAlthough the film is more or less unfinished (but finished the absolute best that it could be under the circumstances), Sharkwater: Extinction boasts some of Stewart's strongest and most poignant work. |
| Georgia StraightJanet SmithStewart gets his ideas across with a laid-back-dude appeal that will reach kids of all ages, avoiding scientific lecturing and instilling hope even as he's sounding an alarm. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Tara ThorneThis is not your average nature doc, with the crew having to fly drones over restricted areas, sneak in and out of countries, even ducking gunfire. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerSharkwater Extinction is a solid journalistic work that honours the man who made it. |
| User ReviewChris KHis message must be heard and applied for the benefit of all life on earth, ours included. Hopefully he is not dismissed by those stuck with the foolishness that comes with their ignorance of the beauty and importance of sharks. |
