Redundant and unnecessary.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This is one of the most beautifully and artistically done nature films I have ever seen in my lifetime. Rarely do I ever see a nature film in the theater. I will generally just rent the video, but I completely and wholly regret not seeing this one in the theater. Once I did see it by rental, I had to own it. Rarely do I ever purchase nature films for my home library, but this was an absolute must. I have brought this DVD to gatherings, where I knew we'd be there for several hours, and I'd pop this in in one of the rooms where people would be going in and out of. It completely mesmerized so many people, to where they went out and purchased the DVD also. They could have completely omitted the shark/seal scene, however, but that is the only complaint I have, which is minor. Do see this, you will not regret it.

This is one of the best movies of marine lives. We can watch another universe into the sea. Beautiful images and music make us feel so comfortable. In the sea, it is very different world; however, we have sympathy and impression.The movie, "Deep Blue", show us how the marine creatures live in mysterious sea. In the deep blue world, these creatures don't live without using their wisdom. So I was very surprised at their great power to survive. The polar bear dives into icy ocean and hunt a bigger dolphin for its hungry cub. Emperor penguins have gone without food in order to protect their eggs for three months on the ice of 50 points below zero. It is not only very beautiful but also sad that shakes and dolphins and sea birds fight in water with aiming the school of sardines.The story into the sea is the drama without plot, but for lives in the water, life and death are to their side. So, it's not game; it's serious. They live desperately, so I was much moved. There are cruel scenes, for example the hunting of a killer whale, but it is reality. However, it is interesting in inexperienced world, and we can feel so wonderful, as if you took a trip to all over the sea. You will meet various lives and experience something priceless in this trip. I hope you have nice trip!!

Ever since my childhood I've been fascinated by all life under water. I was only two years old, had severely burned my arm and my parents didn't know how to make me forget about the pain. They decided to buy me a little fish tank with a couple of goldfish in it. And it worked, as I sat on my knees in front of it, I forgot about all the pain. My arm healed, but the passion remained and I've always kept fishes as a pet ever since (I've got two aquariums and a large pond now). I will also never miss any documentary about this wonderful creatures on television, but I hadn't seen this one before. Last Christmas, my mom found it on a double DVD and thought it would be a good present for me. She was right.Even though the entire documentary is situated in the water, you'll get to see more than just a lot of fishes in all kinds of colors and sizes. You'll also get penguins, polar bears, whales, dolphins,... But there isn't just a diversity in the creatures that are shown. Also the environments change and that's a good thing. The polar sees are completely different from the tropical sees, the Atlantic different from the Pacific and together they make sure that you keep watching it with your full interest. More than once I found myself watching it with my mouth open. All the images were incredibly beautiful, but if this had been situated in one spot, than the 92 minutes would have been too long. Now I just couldn't get enough of it. And that's also where this movie's main weakness if you ask me. I wished that it would keep on going on for another 30 minutes or more. It just ended too soon.If you are interested in everything that happens in that magnificent world under water, but don't want to learn scuba diving first, than this documentary is definitely a must see. The images are just wonderful, the music that accompanies it all is great,... Just let yourself be overwhelmed by the beauty and the powers of nature. It's an excellent documentary made by the BBC Natural History Unit. I give it a 10/10. (Just one last word of advice: try to watch it on a large screen and with an excellent surround system if you can, it can only add something extra to the experience.)

Saturday June 4, 11:00am Egyptian Theater Monday June 6, 7:15pm Neptune TheaterDeep Blue reveals an underwater world filled with unusual and unexpected creatures. Breathtaking images of dolphins, whales, vast schools of jellyfish, deep ocean creatures that defy imagination seeming to surge with neon light and coral reefs are interspersed with rather standard nature footage. A cheesy symphonic score and unnecessary narration doesn't help either. A far cry from Winged Migration meets Finding Nemo, but entertaining and exquisitely beautiful for the most part. Some content might be rather frightening for very small children. There were many little ones in tow for this Saturday morning show but no tears or other hysterics I was aware of. Thoroughly entertaining, just don't forget your earplugs.
