Movie Review: Sehr Gut
Summary: 5 Stars
Kind of bought this only because of Johnny Depp, so i knew nothing about fishies. But it was very interesting to watch if you enjoy nature.Movie Review: Deep Sea movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful movie. My son loves anything sea related, he has watched this over and over. Amazing video captured.Movie Review: Stunning, Even Without The 3-D
Summary: 4 Stars
Although disappointed I couldn't see this in 3-D, as advertised on the DVD (not the one being sold here), . I still thought the photography was amazing and the colors just spectacular. I've never seen underwater footage this good. This also is the first time I've actually heard the sounds that some of these marine creatures make. I just presumed, like many others, there was mostly silence underneath the surface. That's not so; there are some amazing sounds.
More so, there are some amazing creatures that most of us have never heard about or seen. Some of them are downright weird-looking, repulsive yet fascinating. They are so strange you think you're looking at some animated film with cartoon characters.....but these creatures are real. Some of them are frightening and brutal killers.
I've read complaints about the narration by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, and have to agree on a couple points. Winslet does make an attempt to put some reflection in her voice but Depp sounds like he's sleepwalking through this. His voice is flat, a monotone, and it sounds like he's reading the material for the first time. Neither of these two add much life to his documentary.
Others complain that it's just under 40 minutes and thus, the DVD overpriced. Well, I found it very interesting and stunning to view. I wouldn't mind adding it to my collection because this is something I would watch multiple times.
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.
Movie Review: DVD Somewhat Disappointing
Summary: 4 Stars
I was fortunate enough to see this film in an IMAX theater and in 3D. It was absolutely stunning. Beautifully done. I had not known that Danny Elfman had done the music for it, but recognized his style immediately upon hearing it. My family and I all thought that the music was perfect for the film. The narration was great, as well. At times I thought Johnny Depp sounded much like Rod Serling, and given what we were watching, it too fit perfectly.
All of this said, when we saw the movie on DVD, we were all pretty disappointed. I still thought the movie was beautiful, the music was perfect and the narration was good. But, leaving out the 3D effect on the DVD flattened the movie in all ways, thereby creating a somewhat disappointing DVD.
