Editorial Review:
Following in the tracks of MARCH OF THE PENGUINS ... Perfect for nature fans and families who love live-action adventure, DEEP BLUE is an epic underwater exploration into the secret lives of sea creatures! You'll be led on a fascinating voyage through awesome aquatic realms where humans have rarely dared to go. You'll waddle with playful penguins, dart with lightning speed through schools of sharks, ride over stormy waves with massive whales, encounter families of polar bears and seals, and even see alien-like creatures so rare they have never been seen before on film! With a stirring musical score, this acclaimed movie comes from the creators of the landmark BBC series "The Blue Planet."

Description of Deep Blue:
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

Deep Blue Reviews:
Nice Video
2009-07-01 - This video is out takes from the Blue Planet series. While it is visually great there is little information to go along with the video clips. Good if you just want something pretty to look at and are not looking for any sort of information.

Exhilarating for all ages
2009-06-11 - This is a basically a nature film on steroids. The cinematography is awesome. Penguins appear to fly under water. Whales emerging out of seemingly bottomless seas. Large schools of fish appear as synchronized single units. Strange creatures who live in depths where daylight never penetrates.

This movie is just amazing. It gave me a whole new love for this beautiful planet we live on. I think people of all ages would have the same reaction; and to think we use the oceans as a waste dump.


This movie may be needed for the future of this planet. All children could keep an appreciation for their home and perhaps perceive the earth as a single living organism. It should be mandatory viewing for all members of US Congress along with their families. It should be seen by ALL world leaders and politicians.

Amazing Photography !
2009-02-03 - This is a beautifully photographed,absolutely great presentation of the Earth's oceans and the life that exists in and around the oceans.

There is included a short presentation of how the film was made. Be sure not to miss seeing what the film makers went through to get their footage.

The narration is kept to a minimum thereby informing you but not distracting you from the beauty of what you are seeing.

Amazing
2009-01-26 - This DVD was amazing, I brought it for my room mate's 2 1/2 year old son, but we couldn't stop watching it.

Blue planet DVD is this and more.
2008-09-14 - 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 vs content.
