Jesse becomes reunited with Willy three years after the whale's jump to freedom as the teenager tries to rescue the killer whale and other orcas from an oil spill.
Practical Effects
Real orcas + animatronics = surprisingly convincing whale family.
Cinematography
Pacific Northwest waterways shot like nature documentary porn.
Acting
Michael Madsen somehow makes 'whale dad' work. Respect.
