DVD Reviews of Sharkwater
DVD Review: Save the sharks.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see for all who care about our environment. Sharks have been around longer than the dinosaurs and we know so little about them. Sharkwater is a beautifully filmed movie with lots of little known facts about sharks and their behavior. The film makes a compelling case for the rapidly declining shark populations and the potentially devastating threat to the food chain. Sharkwater exposes the "shark fin soup mafia" through some gutsy investigative reporting that adds an adventurous aspect to the movie. Buy the movie, pass it to a friend and start a chain of enlightenment.DVD Review: Sharkwater
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic documentary, making people aware of a little-known albeit very dire situation our oceans are facing. Highly reccommended.DVD Review: Sharkwater hits the mark...
Summary: 5 Stars
Immersive. Great images, wonderful narrative. This Blu-ray definitely makes you think about man's impact on these beautiful creatures. Can sometimes border on self-importance and pretension, but this is easily overlooked when considering the filmmaker's ultimate goal. Despite some scenes being rather graphic (which simply makes the film more impactful), our children definitely appreciated sharks much more after watching this disc. While the kids were always fascinated by sharks, they now have more respect and understanding for them. Highly recommended for anyone interested in oceanography, nature, and of course SHARKS.DVD Review: Worldwide Eco-Crime exposed with heartfelt passion
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautiful in it's cinematography, this film exposes a true-to-life story under Robs very lens. It documents one of mankinds most heinous crimes against our oceans - the ruthless and barbaric practice of "finning" sharks to supply fins for Shark Fin Soup.
Unable to swim, the live finless bodies are often kicked back into the sea. Even if you don't like sharks, or know about their value to the planet, you will be moved by the evidence in this film - and at least made more aware of the problem that has now decimated some 90% of the sharks on this planet.
DVD Review: The Top
Summary: 5 Stars
Once in Brazil, I bought a diving magazine with a very short report about the film. I imagined the film was good.
Now, one and a half year later I bought it and definitely it is not just good. It's one of best documentary films that I've ever seen.
I'd like to congratulate Rob for his courage and great sense of this amazing animals protection.
Shark water is the best choice.
Description of Sharkwater
For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth. Driven by passion fed from a life-long fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas. Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world's shark populations. Stewart's remarkable journey of courage and determination changes from a mission to save the world's sharks, into a fight for his life, and that of humankind.One of mankind's greatest fears--the shark--is convincingly cast in a sympathetic light by the award-winning documentary Sharkwater. Wildlife photographer-turned-filmmaker Rob Stewart is the driving force behind the film, and if his on-camera presence occasionally tilts towards self-aggrandizement, it's countered by the breathtaking quality of his footage of sharks and his compassionate argument for their protection. Stewart's coverage of the sharkfin trade is equally compelling, and scenes of wholesale slaughter of sharks for their fins (a delicacy and alleged medicine in Asian countries) are likely to disturb. Viewers may be split on Stewart's hands-on approach to combating the practice, which includes taking on pirates and police, but his intentions are honorable and do much to bring this alarming situation to light. The DVD includes a '60s-era Navy training film about sharks, which is amusing until one realizes how much its fearful tone has been echoed through decades, as well as a making-of featurette and theatrical trailer. --Paul Gaita
