Aliens of the Deep.
Jimmy Cameron's IMAX documentary...the name and the first 15 minutes made the premise gleefully delicious, and the rest of the 75 mins didn't. For the most part, it was talk, talk and more talk inside the subs between Cameron and his film-making crew, and crew from the NASA.
The so-called ocean "Aliens" don't make a show till late in the second half, and even then, they are offered bare minimum screen-space (about 8 mins or so). Overall, I was pretty disappointed by this one. Marine engineers and explorers might go ga-ga over it, but I was left wanting.
Rating - * * ½
