Reviews of Sammy's Adventure: The Secret Passage

At first, I do not make up my mind to watch Sammy Adventure: The Secret Passage due to the mixed reviews received by the movie. Well, maybe I am way too free, and I spent RM 28 to watch it (Of course of RM18 the movie in 3D and remaining for the popcorn la). Luckily I do not watch it in Sunway Pyramid TGV, which I would like to complain for charging an arm and a leg of RM21.


I thought that this movie is talking about environmental issue. Well, it is disappointing that environmental issue is not given the priority. The story kicks off with old Sammy that is 50 years old, narrating his journey of finding the secret passage. Being the last tortoise that hatches from the egg, he does not manage to crawl to the sea. Out of the blue, he is attacked by the birds on the sky that haunt for tortoise meats, in which at the same time, the bird which is carrying him knock the bird that is carrying Shelly (another tortoise hatches on the same beach earlier). As a result, both of them are safe. Sammy confirms that Shelly is the most important person in his life.


Floating on the lodge, Sammy travels all around the world, meeting new friends, human that is dumping oil into the sea, facing storm, fisherman that catch fishes using big net… As time grows, he is growing too. He comes across about The Secret Passage, whereby there is ice-island. He meets back Shelly while being chased by the shark. Sammy takes the chance to confess his feeling to Shelly. He brings Shelly to find The Secret Passage, but is separated from her after encountering the lightning speed of the ship’s machine. He regrets and makes his way to ice-island after knowing that Shelly is safe (She is looking for the ice-island too). Well, there is nothing though in The Secret Passage, but ends up for meeting a group of human who are saving extinct creatures. From here, Sammy manages to find Shelly but fail to meet her.


The story ends when Sammy meets back his old friends in which at the same time his friend tells him about Shelly. Shelly agrees to be his mates and they hatch a lot of children.


Well, what I want to praise is the 3D of the film. Do not look down at this Germany production, their 3D is state-to-the-art. If you take off the specs, you will notice that it is extremely blur. Hmm, although environmental issue is not the main theme, the story tells about true relationship. If a tortoise can work hard to find his truth love, why not human?
