I went along knowing nothing of this film, but came out utterly amazed by it. I thought it was as good as Return of the King - and that's saying something since I'm such a fan of Lord of the Rings I actually went to New Zealand and was in Wellington for the premiere of ROTK.
Although I didn't shed a single tear for ROTK, I was in tears within five minutes. The cause? The sight of a whole school of dolphins leaping out of water. It was such a beautiful sight. I cried three times in total.
The camera work was breathtaking. They must have taken years to get all the shots.
The cast was in the thousands. The orca whales were the Uruk-hai of the sea, the sharks were the orcs. The jellyfish get the award for best costume. The penguins are like the hobbits - they supply the laughs.
There is so much drama here. There is a scene with sharks and fish and the fish hide under rocks and I was literally screaming (in my mind).. 'Stay where you are! Don't move!" It was like the scene where the hobbits are being chased by the Black Riders.
And if you're interested in geology there are fantastic shots of the mid-Atlantic ridge. Breath-taking shots of it. And hydrothermal vents. Wonderful
I am still incoherent with amazement at this film. Worth even a second viewing.
