Unfortunately most of the film gets terribly lost in boring exposition about the technology and erroneous dialogue. The narrator's lack of real scientific knowledge is painfully obvious as she struggles to read her script (with the occasional exclamations of "wow" or "that's amazing.) The various scientists' excruciating descriptions of technology sadly detract from the real stars of the show (the actual animal life), which the viewer will see only infrequently. A much better example of deep ocean cinematography can be found in the BBC series titled The Blue Planet narrated by David Attenborough and other related BBC titles. If you are watching with kids hoping to inspire their curiosity about science then PLEASE give this title a miss and move on to something that won't bore them to death.
