Jonathan Livingston Seagull has been one of my favorite books since I was very young. I have truly relished the imagery and spiritual message presented by this stunningly magical story, and looked eagerly forward to experiencing Jonathan's adventure on the big screen. This film was an atrocity. Rather than being a dedicated retelling of one of the most inspirational books ever written this ghastly farce presents itself as an embarrassing showcase for a dolorous soundtrack. I can see this film as having great appeal to hardcore Neil Diamond fans, especially those who appreciate his more pensive and solemn works, however, it completely misses the mark of painting the spirit of Richard Bach's brilliant masterpiece. Despite some stunning visuals this film has little merit. Absolutely horrific.
