Editorial Review:
Deep Blue is a compelling BBC documentary that introduces viewers to some of earth's most mysterious ocean creatures. Three years in the filming, the breathtaking cinematography of Deep Blue (all of which originally appeared in the BBC series The Blue Planet - Seas of Life), combined with an excellent musical score and the sparse narration of Pierce Brosnan, is both awe inspiring and moving. Intimate and unique footage of sea life includes an innovative under-the-ice view of penguins propelling themselves out of the water as captured by a newly invented pole camera. Cutting-edge submarine technology allows the exploration of the deepest reaches of the sea where alien looking, jelly-like creatures flourish in a world of immense pressure and constant darkness. Perhaps the most peculiar setting is the Marianas Trench where deep mid-ocean ridges regularly erupt and spew hot water and poisonous gasses into the water while sea life inexplicably flourishes on the underwater chimneys. Rare footage of a polar bear hunting beluga whales and orca whales ravaging a sea lion and attacking a gray whale cub is graphic and disturbing, but lends a sense of a eons-old natural hierarchy. While the scarcity of narration in the main film sometimes leaves the viewer hungry for information, the 50-minute "making of" feature is packed with logistical and technical details. The segment also conveys the entire crew's firm commitment to creating a complete ocean portrait with the goal of engaging people with the creatures of the ocean. (Ages 6 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - Blue planet DVD is this and more.
This DVD has some very nice footage, but if you own blue planet you have seen this before. Even much of the music is the same. It is identical footage re-cut and re-edited with little narration and not almost nothing informative.
Do not get me wrong, it is pretty. Just not quite a best of Blue Planet. But for 10$ more you can get the entire 5 disk Blue Planet set, right now from amazon. Before buying this check out Blue Planet. I'm sure you'll want to compare both to compare price ... Read More

Rating: - Ocean
This was a great documentary. We love nature films and this one was very good. The narration was enjoyable and informative and the music was soothing with it. If you like ocean documentaries, you will like this one.
Rating: - Deep Blue is Breathtaking
This is a movie that will allow you to see the world's oceans. What makes it so different is the spectacular camera work. It effortlessly catches penguins swimming underwater and then follows them seamlessly as they shoot out of the water and land on a glacier. You will float under an ice shelf barely clearing it...go deep into the darkest part of the ocean to see illuminated sea creatures that most have never seen before. It is a beautifully filmed spectacular work that will excite your senses ... Read More
