Details

A story that imagines how these real-world phenomena may be related. In this story, startling amateur video and photographic evidence, as well as additional audio recordings, suggests whales weren’t the only creatures affected by the Navy’s sonar. The film follows the two scientists who tracked the whale beachings for years and delivers first-hand, on-camera accounts of what they claim to have discovered in the aftermath of one particular beaching. Their story is nothing less than fantastical: they claim to have found the remains of a mermaid.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
keith-956-918196 I sat glued to the television cursing and scratching away at NOAA and our US Navy as this web of bull excrement played on ... This poor excuse for a network misrepresented itself as far as I am concerned. If these nitwits had bashed any other Public or Private Agency , they would have had their pants sued off ! Still should as far as I am concerned. After watching this garbage last year and mainly catching the end of it, I again fell for the highlighted updates that they performed. I would like to feed all of these actors and network executives to a Great White Shark. I want 4 or 5 hours of my wasted time BACK ! I sat thru 50000 stupid commercials and waited on each lie to roll out of my television..So glad I recorded WALKING DEAD !This Crying Wolf is the number one reason that so much misinformation runs rampant !Shame on you !
c_imdb-786-433563 At first I was kind of surprised! What was that? Mermaids!???Well, may be because I have a scientific background, from the beginning I thought that something was very wrong with this "documentary". The story made little sense, and the "scientists" that appeared looked kinda of "suspicious", in special the South African forensic scientist (too beautiful to be true! :)! Logic tell us that almost any animal or creature that lived on this planet left behind lot of footprints and evidence in terms of fossils, etc. Could that be an absurd and unique exception to this rule? The problem was that the thing was live on Animal Planet, not in 3rd class fictional network. And that was how I followed the story to the end. :)Anyways. It was a good joke! I just still do not get the point the Animal Planet was trying to make with this documentary. One obvious consequence that I see is that they thrown away a relevant portion of their credibility as "scientific" network.My two cents... Claudiano
indiedavid This show is the reason I quit watching Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. After the initial airing and subsequent negative feedback, I thought they had learned their lesson. I just saw that they are re- broadcasting this pathetic show. The very nature of both networks has been completely compromised by this "found footage" rip off. Every development executive involved in this project should have been fired immediately. Now I see they are actually re-broadcasting this garbage. Thank goodness for Natgeo and PBS. I really love nature television but I have lost faith in the credibility of the information presented on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel.
pbuckler I think people are being to harsh on this film, I found it interesting and the thought that these may be true is simply too wonderful for words. Just enjoy the ride of what may be rather then only seeming that it may not be.This film also makes some very good points and it worth watching. The people who are just mad that this turned out to be a fake documentary need to learn to open your minds and just enjoy dreaming that we have some long lost brothers we have been dreaming of an telling stories of for eons. I adore this film, even if it isn't a real documentary. It may prove real someday.
