This is peak nature documentary laziness, give me the orca or give me death. If I have to watch three minutes of vague blue water with dramatic cello, I want the filmmaker to at least promise me one really good breach at the end.
Also love how the narrator solemnly whispers about “the harsh Arctic” while the camera lingers on ice for a full minute, then finally cuts to a tiny black speck and calls it a dramatic encounter. Shorter buildup, more whale.
You might want to see blue planet or blue planet 2. I don’t remember in which of the two it was but in one of them they show how orcas hunt, drown and kill a whale calf only to eat it’s tong and kidney or so. They also show how they launch seals into the stratosphere (exxageration on my part).
