DVD Reviews of Deep Sea (IMAX)
DVD Review: delightful and refreshingly non guilt trip nature show
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not suprised at the negative reviews here since it has become the norm for nature shows to spread the very important message of the envirnmental tragedy happening.however,I think its gone to far.People will want to save what they love and if nature shows are always a heavy,depressing doom and gloom thing,most will simply not watch them.I know I dont and I am a conservationist.This show is simply fun and playful in its showing.It has cute moments as well and I know this has a bigger impact on peoples hearts.I think this is a simply delightful imax experience ,not for psudo-intillectual armchair types though.DVD Review: Wonderful Viewing, but Terrible Narration
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD features a wide variety of sea life including: jellyfish, starfish, coral life, strobing squid, sharks, sea turtles, sting rays -even a whale. My three-year old never gets tired of watching it; he loves the parts centered on the octopus the best.
From an adult perspective, I am amazed at how many different species they show (beautiful footage), and it is very informative...great for family time, educating children/students, etc. I gave it five stars because we wanted a DVD that discusses sea creatures, and that is exactly what you get.
HOWEVER, the narration was awful! We own and rent dozens of DVDs from Discovery, Animal Planet, and National Geographic, and this was the worst narration I have ever heard. I was surprised, but I guess Johnny Depp & Kate Winslet haven't had much experience with narration...although, I think the script was a big part of the problem (some lines are soooo cheesy).
Also, I think the price is way too high for a forty-minute DVD...BUT, when I think about how much my son loves Deep Sea, it is worth the money. As I said, I gave it five stars because it does deliver the best sea creatures.
DVD 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.
DVD Review: This is what is in danger.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Deep Sea" is a wonderful look at the one world that Man has no domain. As intelligent and resourceful as we are, we still cannot plumb the depths with the ease that the Ocean's creatures can. Instead, we plunder and pollute this wonderous world that we cannot conquer.
This film regretfully, may stand, like others that display the world's beautiful places, as the only record of what it was like before we destroyed it. There are many reviews that are critical of the the narration, or the Director. This film is not about them. "Deep Sea" gives us a look at some of the Ocean's most unique creatures, and how they, more than we, have areas where predator and prey call a truce, and do things for one another for the betterment of both species! It also brings to the screen creatures that many may not have seen before (the Sunfish comes to mind, because I, myself had never seen one).
"Deep Sea" is a feast for the eyes, as there is no trace of our intrusion (yet). Our children must see this film, and others like it, so that maybe, one day, they will be more responsible in preserving something that has fed, clothed and provided many things in our present lives, for our benefit.
DVD Review: Educational and Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was really neat to watch...wish we could have seen it at an IMAX. Kids of all ages like this...we watched it several times.
If you get the chance to see this or rent it on DVD it is well worth it.
Description 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.Running Time: 41 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. UPC:?794051813022 Manufacturer No:?X8130The 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.
