Going into Big Miracle I can say that I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew that it was based off a real-life event from 1988 in which a family of gray whales get trapped in rapidly freezing water at the northern tip of Alaska. I didn’t realize that this man-vs-nature movie was going to bring a lot of emotion and heart that shows how determination can overcome any obstacle and how the best stories are those that happen closest to home.
