Into the Deep (1994)

I felt this documentary about the Living Organisms of the Ocean was sloppy and rushed. There was some good footage but nothing earth shattering. Kate Nelligan was just OK as narrator. She had no pizazz. She was monotone and basically just going through the motions. Pardon the pun. The movie was short , only 35 minutes. It was just a lackadaisical effort . Seems like any amateur could get the footage that the makers of this documentary were able to get. I also felt the music was unnecessary. I love new age music , don't get me wrong , but I would have much rather have heard more of the natural sounds coming from the ocean. I am glad they mentioned something about some of the ocean plants that strive . Some of the facts about these plants were satisfying to hear. Still I can not give this movie any kind of kudos. I was simply; Very disappointed in this effort and would certainly not recommend this to others.

I know this review will not get submitted because it's not long enough. But it is all I had to say/comment on for this film, and I want to say that your rule of 10 lines minimum really sucks! I think my comment is valuable, but unless its 10 lines long it seems you don't. my review:When I saw Into the Deep, it was my first IMAX 3-D film. I remember I was not real thrilled to see a documentary for my first one, and on top of that, it was only 35 minutes long. "What a ripoff!" I thought. But as soon as the film started, I was enthralled. The Narrator along with the beauty of the ocean life and especially 3-D aspect was so good it made me cry! No kidding. This film moved me. It gave me a greater desire and passion for nature. One that I never had. I still think of this film often and wish I could see it again.

Into the Deep is an enjoyment of sight and sound. Filmed in 3-D Imax format. It felt like you moving through the ocean and the underwater wildlife coming towards you while sitting in your seat. I saw a few films in this format but the first time in 3-D. Hypnotize your eyes in wonder and amaze how vivid the colors of the sea look lifelike in 3-D. Well worth the price of admission.

At first it looks like an underwater IMAX 3-D film, but then it turns into something awful! Though it is in 3-D, the picture quality (as in 3-D quality too) is kinda bad. The whole movie starts out good (C+ average) and then just flops by stuff an average person won't know by time they die! If you like all IMAX 3-D films go and see it. If you don't then don't waste your $7 on it.Grade Average: D+
