Movie Reviews of Into the Deep (IMAX)Movie Review: DON'T LISTEN TO OTHERS - THIS IS THE BOMB! Summary: 5 Stars
I can't explain the other two reviews in this column, but I am a conniseur of this type of material and this is one of the most perfect marriages of music and scenery ever to grace my dvd player. It is a deeply brilliant look at the kelp forrest and it's inhabitants, and will put you in a trance that lasts long after the film ends. Trust me - if u have ANY interest in this material - get this NOW. On the same level, WINGED MIGRATION is a must as well.
Summary of Into the Deep (IMAX)Filmed off the coast of Southern California, this fascinating film journeys to an enchanting underwater world of swaying kelp forests and glowing corals. Swim nose to nose with colorful garibaldi, starfish and sharks, play tag with sea lions, and observe the rarely-seen behavior of the creatures of the eternal undersea night.DVD Features: Featurette Interactive Menus
Unlike The Living Sea, its Oscar®-nominated predecessor, IMAX's Into the Deep confines itself to one location--the Channel Islands off the coast of California. But what a location it is! Directed by Howard Hall (Island of the Sharks) and narrated by actress Kate Nelligan, this exquisitely shot feature follows a number of the colorful creatures who live among the area's kelp beds as they build their living quarters, fight to protect them, mate, and die. Some of the more notable sequences include the aggressive mating dance of the fiery Garibaldi fish, the arduous molting of a lobster (captured with time-lapse photography), and the sophisticated synchronized movements of a school of silvery Spanish mackerel that sparkle and shine in the sunlight streaming in from above. Colors (especially reds and blues) that really pop, spare and unobtrusive narration, and a playful soundtrack make this fascinating film ideal for repeat viewing. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
