People are arguing online if this is “the most Freeman thing ever” or “an elaborate prank.” One reviewer called it “Babe for adults, but with more gravelly voices.” Another said, “I’m not sure if I watched a movie or a meditation session.”
My favorite tweet: “Went for the voice. Stayed for the seagull drama. Left questioning my life choices. 10/10.” The memes are already legendary. There’s one with the seagull wearing Freeman’s tuxedo. I saved it to my phone.
Even the haters are confused. One said, “It’s like if The Northman and Finding Nemo had a baby. And the baby only spoke in ASMR.” That’s a compliment.

So, Should You Watch It?
Let me put it this way: If you love Morgan Freeman, you’ll love this. If you hate Morgan Freeman, you’ll still love this. Because he’s just so good at being Morgan Freeman. Even when he’s a seagull. Even when he’s a whale. Even when he’s burping.
Bring a friend. Make it a drinking game. Take a shot every time he says “the stars” or “the ocean.” You’ll be drunk by minute 12. Not my fault.
And if you don’t laugh during the arm-flapping scene? Check your pulse. You might be a mannequin. The movie is that silly. That joyful. That pure.
