The movie poster is purposefully misleading. C'mon...let's use a creepy Gothic font, a dark ominous sky full of creepy birds, and for good measure, a Bible verse in the opening sequence about a legendary creature of massive dimensions...and it is nothing more than a bunch of GoPro camera B-roll of what? How tedious and boring commercial fishing can be? How the big bad commercial fishing "leviathans" are overfishing the ocean? Good Lord...my friend's 12 year-old grandson has amateur footage on Vimeo that puts this tripe to shame. My advice to the makers of this movie? Be honest. Being a lousy film maker is nothing to be ashamed of. I certainly couldn't do it. But what I would never do, is post a picture of a devastatingly handsome man in his late twenties on Match.com and not understand why my hot young date was upset that I actually turned out to be an overweight man in his late fifties with wrinkles, saggy neck skin, and thinning gray hair.

'LEVIATHAN': Three Stars (Out of Five) Another experimental film taking the 'less is more' approach to art and filmmaking. There's no storyline, no character development and no characters for that matter. The movie 'LEVIATHAN' (not to be confused with the 1989 monster flick, of the same name, starring Peter Weller) is a collection of long random shots aboard a fishing ship. It was directed and written (if you can call it writing) by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel. I found it to be visually interesting but also extremely boring.The movie is just a collection of random shots (that go on for way too long) about a fishing vessel. It's supposed to be some kind of a commentary on the fishing industry I think. There's a lot of shots of people doing various jobs, with almost no dialogue (and what dialogue there is is not important). It was filmed with waterproof cameras that are clipped to all sorts of people, animals (possibly) and things.The film received rave reviews and I don't understand why. I think it actually would have been a lot better cut into a bunch of 5 to 10 minute YouTube videos. As a nearly 90 minute movie it's way too long and uninteresting. The shots look cool though and I guess it's kind of an informative look at the fishing industry and life at sea. It reminds me of another recent critically acclaimed but very boring film (with no dialogue) called 'ALL IS LOST'. In my opinion there's not much to it.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR3e7zdl6R4

I think that this was the worst movie I have ever watched. Please don't waste your time viewing this movie as I'm sure you have more important things to do then waste an hour doing absolutely nothing useful. Go take a hot relaxing bath instead. I wish I had have done that. I feel like I have lost IQ points from sitting here watching this movie with no narrative and awful cinematography. It cannot even be classified as artistic it is that bad. I see nothing of any use coming out of this film except a bunch of angry people that spent money or time on it to watch it. If you like the sea and want to learn something just watch the Discovery Channel or something and if you want to be entertained definitely do not watch this movie. Thank you to the producers and whoever else was involved for wasting their time and money on making this when there are starving children and helpless animals that would have benefited from you just donating that money instead. wow. what a ridiculous world we live in.

Well my review is partial because I could not stand watching it all even in fast forward. Sorry for the author and staff, I can grasp the artistic reality of the shots (maybe hidden??) but the "documentaristic" does'nt mean for me that i have to be standing in front of a black screen looking for the camera to point somewhere interesting. To make it worst I love the sea and sea creatures and maybe the message is for everybody and for everyday when eating fish you must think to the "wild hunt behind". I suggest sea lover to go for the perfect storm or discovery channel hi sea fishing documentary. They do the same message and give an idea of this hard work, the most dangerous in the world!
