Movie Reviews of Deep Sea (IMAX)
Movie Review: Going Deep With Depp and Winslet
Summary: 4 Stars
Deep Sea IMAX is a short (around 40 minutes) but very satisfying documentary about life in the ocean. The footage is top notch and it is enhanced by the familiar voices of Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet.
Adults who are real ocean fanatics may find this movie to be a little wanting due to the short duration. But I purchased this for my three year old daughter who loved a copy that I had rented last summer. In general I think that shorter movies are better for kids because their attention spans are shorter.
One of my friends commented that he thought the term "deep" was a bit of false advertising because while the film is definitely shot in deep water they don't explore the really dark and mysterious places at the very bottom of the ocean. This assessment is true enough. So if you're into really deep ocean videos then this may not be the one for you.
Summary of Deep Sea (IMAX)
Dive in! A sea full of wonders awaits. Famed oceanic filmmaker Howard Hall (Into the Deep) guides this immersive adventure that lets you swim alongside some of the most exotic creatures of the planet. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet provide the narration. And an unusual array of finned and scaled stars are ready to steal every scene. Among them: Green Sea Turtles who gather off Kona so that Surgeonfish can strip harmful algae from their shells...an ominous, predatory Humboldt Squid that changes color four times per second like a flashing strobe light...an underdog Mantis Shrimp, whose claws have the speed of a 22-caliber bullet, in battle against a hungry octopus (the shrimp wins!). So many creatures. So many amazing stories. Sea them all.The balance of the earth's ecosystems is continually changing and no where is this more apparent than in fascinating world beneath the sea. Narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, this 41-minute IMAX film features breathtaking underwater photography from the coral reefs to the cold waters of British Columbia with a focus on underwater inhabitants, their symbiotic relationships, and the ever-shifting balance between predator and prey. While viewing this DVD on even the largest home television screen can't compare with the stories high IMAX theatre experience, underwater footage including a California mantis shrimp fighting off an octopus and a wolf eel eating a sea urchin is riveting in any venue. The footage of the mysterious once-a-year spawning of the coral reef in the Gulf of Mexico can only be described as truly amazing. Enchantment with underwater beauty gives way in the end to a chilling message about man's over-fishing of the sea and his leading role in the unraveling of the sea's delicate ecosystem.
