Jorge H This is an underrated documentary, I watched it 9 years ago in Sydney, Australia where I had the opportunity to interview James Cameron. It was then that I realized the risks of a trip of this nature. The OceanGate tragedy puts this documentary in an entirely different perspective. James Cameron has survived more than 33 trips to the bottom of the Ocean because he is a demanding person when it comes to calculating costs and following protocols. Hats off to the builders and engineers of the Acheron Project as they followed the protocols for building the Deepsea Challenger using titanium, the Australian-built submarine. Stockton Rush the CEO of OceanGate should have consulted Cameron to build his submarine. My condolences goes to the family members who died in the tragedy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The Challenge here is trying to stay awake. Boring documentary. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this documentary. Gave a realistic look but still a cinematic feeling to add more drama to it (in a positive way). Personally I don't like (what happens a lot in NG-documentaries) is the use of actors in the so-called flashbacks. For the people who do like it, it's well-made and it added a nice touch. I also liked that you first get to know earlier achievements and experiences of James Cameron before you dive into the adventure what the documentary is about (it gave a nice build-up). Conclusion, a well-made, inspirational and thrilling documentary. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Although I didn't see it in 3D it was still really interesting. In the end, I just wanted to know more and more but maybe that was the point. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately there wasn't much to see at the bottom of Challenger Deep, so the film focuses mainly on Cameron's career and the sub development, resulting in a very boring documentary. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member If you're interested in watching someone's ego play out over 2 hours you should watch this movie. All hail James Cameron. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
