Product Description

Product Description

Take a once-in-a-lifetime journey with Academy Award®-winning director James Cameron (Best Director, TITANIC, 1997) in ALIENS OF THE DEEP, and make contact with another world. This incredible underwater adventure gives you extraordinary glimpses of unbelievable creatures that live in an alien world in the deepest depths of the sea. Could these alien life forms be clues to life in outer space? It's an exciting exploration you'll not soon forget.~~(c)Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Inc. and Walden Media, LLC

Amazon.com

James Cameron takes another foray into the depths with a new deep-sea documentary. Following the shipwreck of Ghosts of the Abyss, Cameron focuses his abundant energies on where life is not powered by sunlight. These implications are taken a bit further, thanks to some dandy effects, on how life may develop in the ice-covered waters of Jupiter's moons. Some of the newly seen creatures are truly amazing: a fish with feet, shrimp that can swim between boiling hot steam and icy currents. Plus there's a cute creature that looks like something from an animator's portfolio: an albino octopus with fins. Like Ghosts, this film is significantly different on DVD. Both were presented in IMAX 3-D but are only 2-D on DVD; however, also included are extended versions, doubling the original's 45-minute run time. The added footage gets you more in-depth coverage of the crew and the missions. Cameron is also an expert host, showing his enthusiasm for the project ("I love this stuff!") while letting his younger scientist co-stars lead the way. (Ages 6 and older) --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Aliens of the Deep - Review by TRK.
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2010

TRUELY AMAZING DVD.
Spectacular underwater scenes of creatures almost beyond belief and geological processe that formed the planet.
I recommend this video for everyone. There are 2 versions included on the DVD, Extended and Theatrical.
As an adult, I found the technical and scientific information facinating in the Extended version.
Children ages 4 and up will like the Theatrical version since it highlights the underwater creatures and omits the more technical information contained in the Extended version. Also, I gained a greater appreciation for James Cameron as a producer and director. His "team" included experts from Russia and the United States. These experts were from the fields of marine biology, exo-biology and astronauts and scientists from NASA.
Amazon.com delivered my order very quickly, as usual. At $3.50 + S&H this DVD is an outstanding deal.
Thanks Amazon, keep up the great service.

There's a lot of great science in this production. Obviously, there are some fantasy illusions as well; but, about 85% is science fact. Anyone that watches this production & can't see a serious and direct tie to global warming, is a total idiot! The photography is excellent. I would & have recommended this title to others. I'll keep this in my library for a long time to come. If anyone is really interested in the true scientific causes of global warming...watch this.

Very educational. More documentary than just viewing the beauty of the depths of the sea. I was not so much interested in the scientific explanations. Would have preferred more relaxing viewing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ocean ecosystem sinks under Cameron's ego
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2005
Verified Purchase
James Cameron is a guy with a fascination with the deep ocean (he made the THE ABYSS and TITANIC). He is also the guy whose ego is so big ("I'm king of the world!" at the Oscars) that even much of Hollywood finds him insufferable.

And that is the good and the bad of this movie.

The clarity and composition of the deep ocean footage are spectacular: it's safe to say that the ocean floor has never been captured this way before. However, Cameron is no Jacques Cousteau and this film suffers for lack of a coherent, or compelling, storyline. It's the equivalent of making an action picture full of explosions, expecting that the spectacle will carry the picture.

One of the mistakes is that there is a lack of decent narration. Saying "Oh, wow, how cool" doesn't tell us much and what narration there is mostly consists of telling us what we can already see on screen. There is a reason for this: with a ship full of senior scientists, Cameron has chosen himself, his brother, and the young graduate students aboard as the humans that will guide us on our journey. The choice of the youthful students instead of their advisors may have been for photogenic reasons (same as casting a Hollywood movie!) or a chance for Cameron, as the only senior guy, to dominate the conversations.

Time and again, we are subjected to Cameron "explaining" things that you know he got from others. Much as Tom Hanks fancied himself as a NASA expert after appearing in APOLLO 13, Cameron fancies himself an oceanographer, simply because he has the financial clout to get to the bottom of the ocean. So we are treated to his challenging a young planetary scientist on theories of where oxygen can come from and to Cameron's "version" of the Drake equation regarding extraterrestrial life. You know a senior researcher wouldn't put up with this and would politely remind Cameron that he is, after all, just a Hollywood director and producer.

There is also a problem with expository animation: it's not there were we need it (explaining, for example, some of the deep sea experiments regarding the geology of the ocean floor or the experimental chamber to simulate Europa's surface) and it acts as filler when we could be seeing other things (explaining, for example, the fancy NASA missions that people can imagine like so many PowerPoint slides). In particular, the animation of the Jupitor Icy Moon Orbitor (JIMO) has a lot of screentime - and is made even more pointless by NASA's recent cancellation of this mission. At some point, one wishes the Cameron would lay off the heavenly choirs on the soundtrack and stick to more realistic sounds on the bottom of the ocean floor.

In short, Cameron doesn't seem to know if he wants a travelogue, an adventure story, or a scientific documentary. This is a shame because the ocean photography is so amazing. It's his inability to come up with a consistent compelling narrative that leaves us nothing more than a home movie of Cameron's underwater vacation. Rent, don't buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great disappointment
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2005

Like many others, I expected to have a front-row seat for a 90 minute tour of the deep. Instead, I got a patronizing, self-centered tour of the team who did the dive, with maybe 10 to 15 minutes of actual deepsea life forms added just to keep us hoping for more. Add to that the assumptions about life on other planets, and the science-fiction bit at the end, I have to say that this was a waste of time and money. Better get the Blue Planet series, much much more scientific. The one star is for the few moments where there was interesting deep-sea life forms.
