It's about half an hour too long and Pierce Brosnan's sonorous narration threatens to lull us to sleep on those rocking waves.

Reviews for Deep Blue
Top CriticWide-ranging documentary on the mysteries and marvels of the ocean and the creatures that reside there.
06/02/05
The information you find inside may not be anything more than you haven't garnered from watching Animal Planet, but it is an extremely well made and well shot piece.
04/30/06
There’s certainly enough to hold one’s interest during Deep Blue, but you won’t learn as much as you would through a single corridor of Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium.
07/01/05
A magnificent look at the teeming, wildly varied life in and around the ocean.
07/15/05
Top Critic...if you want to have a majestically scored, beautiful, often haunting look into an unknown world, and only have 90 minutes to spare, go see “Deep Blue.“
11/10/03
A nice piece of work, but unfortunately it smacks of bandwagon-jumping following the success of such docs as Winged Migration.
11/04/03
The filmmakers startlingly bring to life the beauty and balance of nature.
04/29/04
Numerous films have explored undersea life, but few as comprehensively and as consistently compelling as Deep Blue.
06/02/05
Top CriticIt goes on a little too long for mostly just pretty pictures, and you get more wonder than educational detail, but it's fascinating to look at.
06/22/05
The big screen adds extra impact to inspiring images which capture all the brutality, camaraderie and absurdity of the ocean.
06/18/04
If you see Deep Blue in theaters, it will be hard to resist seeking out the entire eight-part miniseries.
05/31/05
If nature films had genres, Deep Blue would be an action movie.
06/30/05
Top CriticThis is a nasty, nauseating, dispiriting movie and, to repeat, whatever you do, don't take the kids -- no matter what the G rating says.
07/14/05
Top CriticThese iridescent oddities are pure science fiction, and they gave the grade-schooler in me a good 'Whoa!'
06/08/05
Top CriticMother Nature reveals herself not so much as an entity that needs to be preserved but an action director much fiercer than Michael Bay.
05/27/05
Even with consistently impressive camerawork, the movie still feels like the visual equivalent of elevator music -- with frolicking dolphins instead of Elton John ballads.
06/17/05
Top CriticDeep Blue is like the oceans: stunningly beautiful and packed with shocking violence.
07/21/05
This majestic film has all the hallmarks of Beeb quality workmanship.
06/30/05
Top Critic[E]xtraordinarily lush and fantastically adventurous...
