Deep Blue

Deep Blue is pure bliss. This documentary about ocean life in all its forms achieves its own tidal pull with visual marvels that conjure a Darwinian delirium.

Full of splendidly shot wonders.

This is as good a visual treat as you and your kids can expect.

Stunningly beautiful film.

The episodic structure prevents any real momentum, but Byatt and Fothergill give a visceral sense of the sea's violence and vividly capture the riot of color to be found on the ocean floor.

Much of what the filmmakers and their team of cinematographers capture is undeniably remarkable, but their overt attachment to certain scenes can make watching a chore.

Those looking for a refresher course on the workings of the food chain should be in heaven. All others may yearn for a sushi break.
