Movie Reviews of Blue Water, White Death
Movie Review: At last...!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first have seen this movie when I was a teenager. And never since this time. I watch out for the DVD and now here it is ! Don't miss this movie. This is not JAWS but a very impressive shark movie one of the very real first ! It is an historical account not only about the history of scubadiving Captain Cousteau or Hans Hass began years ago (as reported in HDS last issue) but also about the way we considered Mother Nature in the 70's. Movie Review: sharks
Summary: 4 Stars
Having waited a long time for this DVD to come out, I was knocked out by the quality of the transfer, fantastic, all the scenes came flooding back from the first time that I had seen it, it is very informative for its time, as only one person at the time had filmed great whites, Rodney Fox, the voyage to find them, from south Africa to South Australia, the Taylors really show there understanding for these creatures, even getting out of the cage to swim with them, the extras are great, showing the young Taylors and Fox, then more recent footage, how they have aged over the years, see the movie that inspired Jaws, get an understanding of these sea creatures, no change in 300 million years, still perfect.Movie Review: Blue Water, White Death DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding DVD, I have been told about this movie for years and finally being able to see it is just great. A little dated, but this was when sharks were to be killed on sight, not swim with. Great to see how they treated a bend and the stand they all took about diving afterwards - we can learn a lot from that today. Highlights: lost diver, bend and the sharks woo hoo! Movie Review: At long last it is here - the movie that started them all
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this when it first came out and have waited years to see it again. I have been a diver for 20 years. This is one of those movies that started it all. The stars of the movie, Stan Waterman, Peter Gimbel, and the Taylor's are icons in the diving and underwater film making business. This is the first movie of Great White sharks and the lengths to which these people went to film them are astounding. These adventurers went out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, parked themselves next to a sperm whale carcass, and got up close and personal with large oceanic sharks at feeding time. They also went to the Hermes wreck at 180 feet and off the coast of Dangerous Reef in the Sourthern Ocean.
- no dive computers, no DAN to evac you out, and never quite knowing what to expect. This is a true life adventure caught on tape when diving really was by the seat of your pants. If you are a diver or adventurer you must see this film. If you like the film buy the book that documents the adventure - Blue Meridian - The Search for the Great White Shark by Peter Matthiessen
Movie Review: OPEN OCEAN SWIMMING WITH OCEANIC WHITETIPS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched this movie for the first time and I must say i was amazed!This documentary by Peter Gimbel follows his crew to exotic locations including South Africa, Madagascar, Ceylon and Australia looking to be the first to film the Great White shark in its own world. The footage is fantastic with some of the most harrowing moments ever shot on film. Truly the moment where one by one the divers exit the safety of their cages to film dozens of feeding oceanic whitetips is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated again. I couldn't believe my eyes as the Taylors(Ron & Valerie) and Peter Gimbel continuously prodded away the inquisitive sharks while Stan Waterman filmed the breathless action. When the crew travels to Dangerous Reef,Australia and meets the Great White, the results are spectacular. Never before had a Great White been filmed in its own environment and the pulse-pounding work of these underwater pioneers is priceless. A great purchase for all shark enthusiasts or action fans this DVD comes with several extra features including a reunion of the crew members who reminisce fondly of their great adventures beneath the waves. A MUST HAVE!
