Movie Reviews of Deep Blue
Movie Review: "One of the biggest natural history documentaries ever undertaken!!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
XXXXX
"We have walked on the moon and continue to push the open boundaries of space. Yet it is the mysteries of the ocean that continue to elude us"
The above is what the narrator (Pierce Brosnan) says at the end of this mesmerizing "cinematic masterpiece" that comes from the creators of the landmark BBC series "The Blue Planet." This movie is an exploration (mostly underwater) into the secret lives of sea creatures.
Generally, this film begins at the ocean beach and moves to the open ocean. From there, we are taken to the Earth's poles to see "the frozen ocean" and then finally to the dark ocean depths to view an "alien world" where life (that's never been captured on film) has adapted.
This film is a visual feast. There is minimal narration. I appreciated the scarce narration since I found that the visually stunning images speak for themselves. The stirring background music adds to the viewer's visual experience.
I recommend also viewing "The Making of Deep Blue" fifty-minute DVD extra. You will hear about all the technical challenges and risks that were taken involved with this documentary. (In fact, I appreciated the film even more after viewing this extra.) Besides technical information, I found that there was additional interesting information not included by the narrator of the main feature.
Finally, there were two problems I had with this movie. First, it is rated "G." Because this film shows some images that may be disturbing to the very young, I feel it should have been thus rated "PG." Second, the DVD case shows a picture of only penguins. However, the film features many other marine creatures from whales and dolphins to crabs and jellyfish.
In conclusion, viewing this film is a unique experience--"a remarkable, jaw-dropping experience!!"
