KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

vlevensonnd-1 This is one of the most beautifully and artistically done nature films I have ever seen in my lifetime. Rarely do I ever see a nature film in the theater. I will generally just rent the video, but I completely and wholly regret not seeing this one in the theater. Once I did see it by rental, I had to own it. Rarely do I ever purchase nature films for my home library, but this was an absolute must. I have brought this DVD to gatherings, where I knew we'd be there for several hours, and I'd pop this in in one of the rooms where people would be going in and out of. It completely mesmerized so many people, to where they went out and purchased the DVD also. They could have completely omitted the shark/seal scene, however, but that is the only complaint I have, which is minor. Do see this, you will not regret it.

marie_again This is one of the best movies of marine lives. We can watch another universe into the sea. Beautiful images and music make us feel so comfortable. In the sea, it is very different world; however, we have sympathy and impression.The movie, "Deep Blue", show us how the marine creatures live in mysterious sea. In the deep blue world, these creatures don't live without using their wisdom. So I was very surprised at their great power to survive. The polar bear dives into icy ocean and hunt a bigger dolphin for its hungry cub. Emperor penguins have gone without food in order to protect their eggs for three months on the ice of 50 points below zero. It is not only very beautiful but also sad that shakes and dolphins and sea birds fight in water with aiming the school of sardines.The story into the sea is the drama without plot, but for lives in the water, life and death are to their side. So, it's not game; it's serious. They live desperately, so I was much moved. There are cruel scenes, for example the hunting of a killer whale, but it is reality. However, it is interesting in inexperienced world, and we can feel so wonderful, as if you took a trip to all over the sea. You will meet various lives and experience something priceless in this trip. I hope you have nice trip!!

bob the moo Water makes up most of the Earth and, unlike the surface ecosystems, it is the hardest for man to explore, inhabit or bulldoze. It is the closest thing to having a different planet, except right here on Earth. As such I was looking forward to watching this film because of the excellent footage of the many amazing creatures and ecosystems that ever improving technology allow us to get closer to. I'm not really one for nature programmes so maybe that is why I was extra impressed by the film – because such stuff has not become "ordinary" to me. At the start of the film I must admit that I was watching the "ordinary"; whales, crabs and seals fitted into that category to me but once the camera went deeper into the oceans it only became more and more fascinating with such weird and wonderful creatures on display.This goes for the shallower depths as well, as fish, whales, sharks etc are all very well presented and gorgeous to watch. Indeed that is the strength of the film – the beauty of it. It is fascinating to watch and the expertise in filming shines through from start to finish. However it is the appreciation of the view where the film is weak. Gambon's narration is sparse and even but it only occasionally gives out nuggets of information. I didn't expect detail like David Attenborough would give but it could have done with something more to compliment the visuals. The music covers the lack of narration and generally the score is well pitched to support the air of wonder or pace to the film.Overall this is a great visual treat, even if it is mostly going to be seen on the small screen. It all looks impressive and is fascinating but a bit more narration and detail would have been useful. Best viewed as a visual experience or as an entry into the wider genre of nature programmes.

nathan_i_todd I had the opportunity to watch this movie during the Seattle International Film Festival, and I was amazed. I haven't seen the documentary series "Deep Blue Sea" on which it was based, so I cannot comment on how the film compares to that series. What I can say is for any of you who are interested in animal behavior above and below the ocean's surface, you will be amazed. This film has few interruptions between wonderfully paced and edited clips of animal behavior. While I had seen almost all of the animals and plant life that appear in this movie before, this gave me a new and thrilling opportunity to see their lives as the animals themselves do. You hear their voices and experience their emotions. The soundtrack kept me emotionally captivated for the entire 90 minute run time. The filmmakers don't try to narrate the behavior, but let you experience it first hand, to a thrilling effect.However, this movie is not for the faint of heart. The filmmakers spare no detail in showing close up the threats posed to smaller sea life by larger and more voracious variations of life. With that in mind, I recommend keeping young children away from this movie. The children sitting a few rows in front of me in the theater gasped and held onto their parents during the violent scenes in the film.If you do see this movie, make a point to do it on the biggest screen you can find, and sit as close as you can.
