"Deepsea Challenge"
By Valerie Baca
In this epic film of adventure, James Cameron takes to sea in the name of science. James Cameron, the famous director of "Avatar" and "Titanic", made a documentary called "Deep Sea Challenge". In this documentary, James Cameron engineered a submarine to go to the deepest part of the ocean. I recommend watching this film if you enjoy deep sea exploring.
"Deepsea Challenge" follows James Cameron and his quest to get to the deepest part of the ocean. He had to build a sub that could with stand the pressure of 36,000 feet of water. This film is James journey to the bottom of the "Mariana trench", James Cameron is the main character as well as the one who will dive into the Mariana trench. His journey took place the year 2012 during January in Australia. Cameron and his crew undergo many test dives to prepare themselves for the 36,000 feet dive to the bottom of the trench.
This documentary explores the power of the plate tectonic and the scientific importance studying the trenches nature forms. James Cameron and his team travel to the deepest part of the ocean, known as the Marianna trench. The "Mariana trench" was the output of a convergent boundary. The plates have had a huge effect on our world; new trenches are formed as well as volcano's. Separated plates, known divergent boundaries, form mid ocean trenches, plates coming together form mountains, and when a plate goes under a different plate it creates a volcano eruption. Cameron and his crew dove into an extraordinary effect of the movement of the plates.
"Deepsea Challenge" was a very incredible science documentary. A part of this documentary that was really good was when James was exploring a trench off the shore of an island and found a different species of jellyfish. Another awesome scene was when one of the underwater robots interesting type of underwater organism roly polys. The last scene I found interesting was when they were about to be submerged into the trench but were unable to because of the dangerous weather. Although, there were few scenes I found boring. For example, when his crew was building the sub, it wasn't as interesting as James diving into trenches. Another scene that I did not like was when James and his crew were talking about the deadlines, everything that was going wrong or the equipment they needed to repair. Sadly, the scene I disliked the most was when two of James' best friends died in a helicopter crash. Everyone suffered a lot but they pulled through. Although some scenes were not as interesting as the some of the great scenes, the film was incredibly interesting overall.
The moral "Deep Sea Challenge" has to show is to never give up on your dreams, keep dreaming because one day your dream may come true. James, the main character, always dreamed of diving into the depths of the ocean and exploring the mysteries it has to offer and without a doubt he did exactly that. From diving into his imagination in a card board box to diving in the only submarine that could withstand the pressure of 36,000 feet of water, James always dreamt he would dive and he did exactly that.
I would recommend this film to all those kids, teenagers or adults that find the ocean intriguing. Also, to everyone who loves a good diving movie and documentaries. This movie would not be a great movie to anyone who dislikes the ocean or is bored by the ocean; the movie is about the ocean after all. The MPAA rating is PG (parental guidance). I found this documentary very interesting. This movie is a good movie overall.
