Similar to like-minded documentaries such as Winged Migration and MicroCosmos, Deep Blue features footage from locations throughout the world. The great British actor Michael Gambon provides the narration, which favors involving the viewer emotionally over providing enlightening factual information on the creatures. The 22 segments of the film conclude with footage of how man has affected life under the sea. This film was originally produced for the British television series The Blue Planet. According to the filmmakers, some of the creatures seen here have never been previously recorded on film. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Absorbing.
-
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News
A magnificent look at the teeming, wildly varied life in and around the ocean.
-
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This is a nasty, nauseating, dispiriting movie and, to repeat, whatever you do, don't take the kids -- no matter what the G rating says.
-
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
A sumptuous but occasionally soporific nature documentary.
-
Jonathan Holland, Variety
This majestic film has all the hallmarks of Beeb quality workmanship.
