Cameron is just another director who - like baby - happy with toys. On the another words - technician freak. Cameron excited with submarines, explorer boat etc., filmed with any lack of interest.But, hey, it isn't all, just wait to listen "scientists" comments in this movie. "Wooow's" and "Oooh's" are very scientific comments. The objects of interests (deep sea species) are totally in second plan in this movie. I hope to see something i didn't see yet, but - i was wrong. However, you could find far more better documentary movies with this theme, and far more better directing then James Cameron did in this movie.Generally speaking editing is well done, only what "Wooow's" and "Oooh's" still echoing in my ears... but, it's not enough worth of watching.

wow.this is a truly beautiful piece of work.it is a documentary By James Cameron.Cameron and his crew basically explore the depth of the ocean,looking g for clues to life in outer space.they meet some very beautiful creature on their journey an some very strange ones.the movie is beautifully photographed,giving the viewer an astounding look at life under the sea.it is a slow moving film at times,ad veers off into talking about the people involved and other projects they are working on.i don't mean to be callous.i believe the people involved should certainly be introduced to the viewer,as all involved make a worthy contribution to the film.However,in a film such as this,the focus should be more on the creatures found,than the human beings.This movie sometimes plays like a National Geographic film,many of which also suffer from the same flaw.that said, this is very watchable film.just have your hand on the fast forward button. 6/10

James Cameron does a bang up job on the cool looking IMAX-3D adventure to the depths of the sea and beyond.The futuristic aspect and effects get to be a bit much, but otherwise it is enjoyable, educational, brief, and somewhat enlightening.Effects--> the computer rendered graphics of aliens was a bad way to end the film, but that is Cameron's own belief/touch. One cannot fault him for what he truly believes in and the effects aren't bad in a cheesy way, just a different way to end an educational film (not really a spoiler since aliens are on the poster and in the preview).Brief--> All IMAX (except for feature length Hollywood) are short, with the ending it probably was short enough, but could have been longer with more oceanographic footage (an interesting note is that DVDs of IMAX movies seem to have extended versions) Which begs the question of if they are going to charge $30 or so for the DVD and you get extended footage, why spend $8-15 to see a cool documentary like flick on the IMAX 70mm screen? For the most part IMAX is the only place for 3D and thus a reason to pop down the dough. Plus a lot of Zoos and other institutions of education which show films like this tend to have giveaways of the movies official posters and such, so supporting them and possibly winning merchandise is an additional incentive for the decent to very good experience.

This semi-documentary was simply lame. So and so gives some credentials and then blah blah blah about how much they like riding in a submarine 3000 meters under the sea - NOT because that would be cool and a once in a lifetime experience but because they somehow need this kind of physical real-world experience to image being in outer space. Its boasted on the box about all these deep sea species we're going to see: different fish/octopuses/worms in whole movie: 6-7. Amount of time showing cool deep sea critters: about 4 minutes. Amount of time showing computer generated rejects from low-budget video games: about 4 minutes. Sometimes wasting 15$ can really aggravate me, and then wasting 2 hours of my life totally throws me off the deepest end of some Europan Frozen Ocean. 0.5/10 honestly.
