Movie Reviews of Carrier

Movie Review: Interesting doesn't even begin to cover it
Summary: 5 Stars

I added this to our Netflix streaming queue last weekend, and started watching. I thought I'd give it a chance but probably end up bored. Not the case at all! We have watched 8 episodes, and I'm bummed that there are only two more!

This series is absolutely fascinating. The Navy is my "favorite" branch of the service - my Dad served on the USS Midway, and I was baptized on the ship. You could say I have a from-the-cradle loyalty to the Navy ;-)

It's so intriguing to watch the inner workings of a deployment & life on an aircraft carrier. We are privy to the personal stories of select crew members, the ups and downs of life both at home and at sea for each of them. I got really involved in what was going on for some of these folks. I saw that someone mentioned they'd like a follow-up on the sailors - I would too. Just 10 episodes, but they get in-depth and it just draws you in.

I think this is a magnificent documentary/"reality" series. I spent 600 minutes over the course of a week watching each episode, and don't regret a minute of the time spent. Whether you rent or buy, you won't either. We are giving the DVD to my Dad for Christmas this year. I hope he enjoys it as much as we did.

Summary of Carrier

CARRIER is a character driven, edge-of-your-seat, nonfiction drama as well as a total immersion in the high stakes world of a nuclear aircraft carrier. CARRIER follows a core group of film participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the admiral of the strike group to the fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror.
