Movie Reviews of Deadliest Catch - The Pilot Episode
Movie Review: Bering Sea Fisherman
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is about as "live" as you will get without going on board and working the high seas of Alaska during the winter. I myself have worked during the winter on board 2 different vessels both of which were based out of Dutch Harbor AK. And yes, it is very much like this on board these vessels. I have good memories and sad memories of what has happened out on the high seas. There have been many vessels go down out there on the Bering Sea, some of which could have been helped and some of which could not be helped due to weather/storm conditions. I would higly suggest to anyone that wants to know what it takes to work on a vessel in Alaska to watch these series. Just because you might be that perfect person in the gym, doesn't mean you can handle the day on night on day in and day out of the stress and muscles it takes to do this kind of job. I have seen enough of these guys that come to Dutch Harbor in search of "their gold", to only last a few days or maybe even one week, to pratically beg on their knees crying like children, to be taken back to land so they can go home-DEAFEATED. Yes, it takes it's toll on a person's soul, mind and spirit to do this sort of work. When the crab are out there the work is happening, 24 hours in a day isn't enough to work when you are losing money when the crab are about. So, before heading off to Alaska because you think you can do this job, better to think about if you can handle working 24 hours awake for sometimes 3 days, and then after that possibly 18 hours a day for 2-3 months, depending on the crab. See the film and then you decide if this job is really for you. Is the money really worth it?
No internet, no mobile phone calls, maybe no TV unless you have pre taped video/dvd programs, rocking and rolling all the time day in and day out, cramped into small bunks in rooms without privacy. Forget your nice clothes, the ones you will wear on this trip will be ruined after one season. So, perhaps you should see these series. I have the whole box set of 1-10 Episodes, if anyone is interested in purchasing them. I can't find the price on amazon for the complete boxed set, but I will sell them to someone who wants them 5 Dvd's 2 episodes per DVD. They are in NEW condtion, played once only. And come shipped First class mail to anywhere in the USA. Contact me if interested
