Movie Review: Review for the DVD "Carrier"
Summary: 5 Stars
Carrier is a very well documented 5 part series that explains the life of a ship mate(several ship mates) on the Naval carrier "Nimitz". It shows the daily rountines of several naval personal from deck hands to pilots to command staff. You see how the leadership of the vessal functions. You see discipline problems delt with. Relationships that are made during this Medittarian cruise that is also part of the fight for "Iraqi Freedom" campaign. It shows the cramped quarters that the personal live in. The terribly difficult 18hr days and nights that these sailors have to endure. Finally, it shows the stress that one deals with in a time of war. It is an excellent example of how our millitary shows itself as the best the world has ever seen.
Movie Review: Carrier DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
"Carrier" is a beautifully produced documentary on the lives of the sailors and marines who made up an air wing consisting of navy and marine squadrons serving on the USS Nimitz during one deployment in 2005. Interviews with officers and enlisted men and women and their families reveal differing points of view on serving in the Navy and Marines and on the mission. I felt as if I actually knew these young people and gained a new understanding of the sacrifices they make in service to our country. 10 engaging hours. Beautiful music and spectacular photography. This is not a recruiting poster for the Navy or the Marines, but rather an honest look at life aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier on deployment. I highly recommend it.Movie Review: Awesome documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
As currently being in the Navy on board a Destroyer, it was nice to see PBS take on this challenge of a deployment. A lot of the stuff that was portrayed in this film is real to the core how it is on a naval vessel. I've never done a tour on a carrier before but this was def worth the watch. As a lot of people say about the cussing all through the film, I'm pretty sure it says VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED for language plus the language hasn't changed since WWII much either (grand dad was a sailor in WWII, I've heard the stories) so "old timers" have no place to criticize. Loved the series and recommend if you want to get a bit of the ups and downs of a United States Ship out to sea.Movie Review: Life on a Bird Farm
Summary: 5 Stars
This gritty warts-and-all look at life abord an aircraft carrier is long overue. As recounted by earlier reviewers, most documentary works about carriers have focused on the gee-whiz aspects of the airplanes and flight ops. Having been there, I can tell you that NONE of that hardware would go ANYWHERE without the people who make it happen. Life on a warship is not the Loveboat by any means, and it is very hard on families as this series shows, but I am grateful to the producers for showing some of the not pretty, but more real aspects of what really goes on out there.
Movie Review: Owner of Actual DVD - Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved it. It seems as real as it can get considering those guys had cameras in their faces. When some guys would ham it up, you could still see their character behind it all.
The quality of the DVD was excellent. And the choice of music fit the mood and character of the film. Even though much of the ship could not be filmed, I was surprised at times by what was allowed.
Highly recommended, award winning material. Thanks PBS. Take all the reality crap TV off the air and let PBS step in with top notch video.
