Deepsea Challenge 3D
Film director/explorer James Cameron fronts the camera in this extraordinary documentary which contains twice the suspense and action of all his previous movies combined.
Deepsea Challenge 3D re-counts Cameron’s ongoing love of sea exploration and his life-long dream to explore the deepest ocean floor known as the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
The mammoth process is examined, as members of his engineering and science team in Australia design, build, and test the submersible in which Cameron ultimately makes his solo history-making seven mile journey.
This is stunning filmmaking, with insightful interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from Cameron’s previous films The Abyss, Titanic and Avatar. The underwater photography is mesmerising, enhanced by the 3D format.
Deepsea Challenge 3D is the inspirational story of how one man achieved his dream through sheer courage and determination and highlights the necessity for mankind to fully explore the Earth before venturing in search of other planets. This is doubtlessly the most fascinating documentary ever produced. (MM)
