James Cameron directs this documentary about exploring the depths of the oceans. This film focuses on the scientists that Cameron brings along on deep dives in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These scientists vary from marine biologists, xenobiologists, ocean seismologists, among others. It is interesting to watch these scientists do their jobs and be excited about crabs and rocks. This movie also explores the possibilities of exploring oceans on other planets and moons in our solar system. If you are a science minded person like myself, I think you will enjoy this film, otherwise skip it.

One of the best documentary on deep sea exploration.

Aliens Of The Deep: Brisk, fasanating and filmed with passion. James Cameron’s second documentary is as awe inspiring as it is fun.

Aliens of the Deep is what a science documentary ought to be: visually awe inspiring with an amalgamation of real and rendered scenes and perhaps most importantly- narrated or explained by someone who knows what they are saying and not just reading their lines to cash in a cheque. James Cameron is the narrator, diver and director of this amazing documentary that juxtaposes a deep ocean dive with a space mission to one of the Galilean moons. The banter between the scientists aboard the Russian mission ship and Cameron's enthusiasm is a joy to watch.

I haven't seen any of Cameron's other films of this ilk, so I don't know how this one compares. As a stand-alone, however, it held its own. Beautiful images. Fascinating information. A keeper for the adults and the kids in our family.

OMG, this movie is SO BORING. Even though it's less than an hour long, it just drags and drags. Nothing spectacular even happens until the very end. And then it's like, "Finally!"

Very interesting and beautiful scenery. It's the only good movie I have seen in science class.

Some amazing views of life in the deep ocean which demeans itself by being a self-proclaimed prelude to "more exciting" space exploration. Too many wishy-washy semi-philosophical speeches and not enough science.

Very informative with some great visuals, but over all pretty unnecessary.

this is cool under water thing..

"Aliens of the Deep" is a great mix of science fiction and real world exploration and if either subject fascinates you (or even if you're mildly curious) this movie will really excite you. A lot of really interesting subjects are explored: the preparation as the deep sea dive is going to take place and the stories on how the equipment was designed and put together, the teamwork and ingenuity that overcomes problems that rise up out of nowhere, the similarities between two fields of scientists that come from (seemingly) to entirely different fields and how Earth's deep oceans and the vast reaches of spaces actually have a lot in common. There is some beautiful and bizarre sea life included in the film, but the focus is really the exploration, the gathering of data and the speculation on what could be out there. Although the film would have been better with more discoveries of strange sea life, the ones we do see are interesting and bizarre bottom-dwellers have been shown in many good documentaries and 온라인카지노추천 specials before so it's great to see something different. Some of the special effects are a bit dated but they're never really glaring and they more than do the job. It's a very smart movie that is bound to teach you more than a few things you didn't know about space and the deep sea life here on earth. It's really exciting to see passionate people realizing their dreams and going where no one else has gone before while telling us what we could be in store in the (hopefully) near future. It's a documentary that has a lot of smart ideas, a lot of creativity too and it does a lot more than present the facts to you; it encourages you to think about the subject and come to your own conclusions.

This is a review of the extended version. PLOT/SUBJECT:James Cameron organizes a trip down in the Mediterranean Sea in special-made submersibles with atsronomers to explore the space below us as the astronomers plan to explore the space above them. It's pretty much a comparison from under space to outer space. I love marine biology so this was my kind, but its cross with astronomy kinda made it jump around too much. ACTING:Or people. Pretty cool people, but some got on my nerves. OTHER CONTENT:Don't think there was any score. But anyway, the creatures, depths, and living conditions were fantastic. But if you're going to watch the extended version all the way through, then drink a cup of coffee! It's very easy to fall asleep to. That's why it's rated lower: the jumps, nervy people, and the easiness to fall asleep. OVERALL,a good documentary with a great subject that can be kind of jumpy, some good and some nervy people, and the ability to make you fall asleep.

James Cameron takes audiences to the depths of the ocean to encounter some of the strangest life forms on Earth, while inviting us to imagine what future explorers may someday find on other planets. Beautifully shot and there are moments of stunning cinematography, both the jelly fish scene and the octopus scenes are stunning. Still there are issues here, James Cameron can not resist a theatrical approach to the documentary, the build up to the dive is similar to the opening scenes of the film ?Titanic? and some of the dialogue is obviously staged and scripted, this is not Cameron?s fault he is a film maker at the end of the day, but this approach takes the edge of the realism of the film, and one cannot help but think there is a slight ego in Cameron's approach and reasons for making this documentary. The narrative of the documentary also goes off track, computer generated animation of space travel and exploration is interesting but nothing to do with what has come before, in investigating the earth?s seas. There is just not enough of the earth?s animals and too much on off track storylines and the Earths crust. A stunning visual feast, and the scenes of the Earths wild life is amazing but an attempt to expand the narrative of the documentary and the theatrical approval leaves the film in limbo somewhat.

Mildly insulting to see Cameron instructing PHD marine biologists like he's anything other than responsible for Avatar (2009). Successful awareness-raiser but insignificant next to Attenborough.
