How can we learn how to explore other planets in space? By exploring the extreme environments in the deep sea. That is the premise of this documentary. So, to put it clearly, this is not a nature movie that shows a lot of fantastic animals and show us how the ecosystem works down there. This is a movie about how we do to get that knowledge, the technology aspect, the possibilities and unexpected problems. We get to know a few of the explorers thoughts, and strategies how to learn something new, and their visions and dreams (some of which is now reality). Of course, we get to see some of the extreme nature, some really freaky animals, but it is not really the main point 8even though I too wish they could have shown a little more of the animals and plants they studied). If you want to see a nature movie, you should probably pick another movie. If you are into exploration, how to break frontiers in real life (and not science fiction) this is more for you.
