Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Into the Deep" is a 34-minute documentary from over 20 years ago that takes us on a unique journey into the beautiful world of life underwater. While I would say that the film may have been a bit more informative occasionally, this is really just a minor criticisms. We get some interesting facts and the video recordings are nothing short of breathtaking. The film also ends on a high note with the statement that no matter if humans or animals, no matter if at land or underwater, we are all one and we need to be careful because if we destroy certain areas, we destroy ourselves in the long run. The animals in here aren't really fluffy or cute, so maybe this is not such a great watch for younger audiences, but they are extremely fascinating nonetheless. I highly enjoyed the watch and very much recommend it. Thumbs up for Howard Hall, Matthew Hart and this IMAX documentary. i cannot believe it did not receive any awards attention whatsoever. What ignorance. A truly atmospheric watch and I felt most of the time I was really down there deep in the water with the animals.
Scott Dakers I am a professional dive instructor (PADI IDC Staff Instructor #233440)) who, for years, taught at Santa Catalina Island, just off the California coast. One of my favorite remembrances as a dive instructor was to enter the Casino Point Dive Park in Avalon. Just a few feet off the entry point was a kelp forest. I enjoyed hovering weightlessly in the waves, swaying with the kelp, watching fish move in and out.The human eye sees so much more than the camera can pick up. I was mesmerized by the light that filtered through the kelp forest. The Garibaldi, the California state fish, would wait for us and circle us as we entered the water. Many of my peers took small bags of frozen peas to feed them. Schools of them would circle us and watch us... just in case we brought munchies. In the afternoon around 2pm, fish would "park" for what looked like nap time in the kelp. Night dives was truly another world. I watched sun stars move along he sandy bottom off of Monterey, CA. I played (cautiously) with the jelly fish that "invaded" one of my open water classes there. How in the world can they actually be alive? Beats me. How do brittle stars know to run in panic? How can they panic if their brains are so small? I've been diving with sharks, and they didn't bother me, but the Moray eel, who opens his mouth to breathe can look fearsome and caused me give them a respectful, wide berth.No, this movie doesn't have shipwrecks or chase scenes. It's real. It approaches things gently,answering the curious questions of a wide-eyed child. I enjoy it because it's real. It brings back memories. This is what it's really like. It's quiet... and incredibly beautiful. It's peaceful. Breathe deeply and slowly... and feel the waves. Imagine yourself weightless. It'll change you.
jirwinsky When my Father was alive, a year ago, I worked at a radio station where Allison, who works at Cinemark had sent my Mother & Father to an opening, in 2001, to this Film of "Into The Deep". I guess they said it was the most real and fascinating film they ever saw. Now that my Father has passed on, my Mother has a Birthday on the 9th of October, she will be 80 and she wants my sister and I to take her to see this movie again. Is it possible to send it back to Colorado Springs 3D Imax, and "Journey of Man" also? I have only seen one of your 3D's recently with her, and I was absolutely in shock at how beautiful it was, I actually reached out to touch the fish, I could not and still cannot believe how you did that! It was my first 3D and I'm 53. It just took my breath away at how real it was. Allison is the one that sent us Complimentary Tickets for free lunch and a 3D every month for 6 months. That got us hooked on them. At least the slower one's like the underwater and the Grand Canyon. Thank You, Theresa & Dean
Coolguy-7 This is the first imax film I have ever seen. I saw it with my aunt and my sister while vacationing in Chicago at a theater in Navy Pier. It told us about the animals that inhabit the kelp beds of the Pacific Ocean. The people who worked at the theater gave us each a mask to wear while watching it so it would look like we were really down there. It did somewhat feel like we were.
