Excellent but underrated film

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

For those who appreciate bluntness, here is my synopsis; a brilliantly edited film collage of commercial fishermen at sea, with no soundtrack, no narration, no text, and no interviews. Know that this is not for everyone.Now, this is a DOCUMENTARY film, and I was shocked by how many of the other reviewers did not realize this. If you are looking for a cut-and- dry plot and characters, Docs probably aren't for you.And finally, if you like the type of "documentaries" that air on the History Channel, and Animal Planet, TLC, etc., than this movie is not for you. It is thought provoking in the most literal of senses- this movie provokes the viewer to actually think about what is happening and what it all means. These things are not given to you- there is no voice over to give you context, there are no text slides to give you relevant information. It is raw, visceral experiences, captured in HD and edited together in a way which is, at the very least, innovative... and at the very best, perhaps genius.If you like "experimental" movies, like "Sweetgrass" or "Valhalla Rising," this movie will likely be enjoyable for you.For everyone else, you'll probably feel like you just spent 2 hours watching home movies from a deaf fisherman on a boat.

This experimental-documentary film examines in a very concise manner the problematic of mass consumption featuring a fishing ship as an all- devouring sea monster - Leviathan. The viewer is immediately immersed in a dark vision of this demonic large steel beast which leaves behind the remains of sea creatures and coloring sea water in red, surrounded with the sounds of fluttering semi-living fish, chains, anchors, ocean and screams of seagulls. They all create this sinister sound like a choked howls from abyss. An impressive visual and sound voyage and innovative approach to the issue (mass consumption) characterize this exceptional work about insufficiently identified atrocities of contemporary civilization.

This movie had nothing going for it. There was no story, no acting and no documentary to boot. This movie consisted mainly of single thing: sticking "goPro" cameras on people and watching other people work repetitive tasks. The moment camera sank i was hoping the movie would actually end with that escape from this dreadful piece of motion pictures (calling it cinema is a disgrace to word cinema). There was no camera-work of editing to speak off, no sound editing either, most dialogue is unintelligible and there is little of it to begin with. The movie consists either of nausea inducing swimming camera footage or watching people work repetitive tasks that is supposed to be "Shocking" but ends up being more of a bore than anything. The fact that this movie has achieved anything only proves just how pointless movie awards have became, where people will give you awards just for making something they cant understand. And don't get me wrong, no one can understand this movie, for there is no sense behind it.

This is a "documentary"... and barely one at that. Like some have posted, this seems shot with a Go-Pro and no enthusiasm what so ever, or attempt at any form of narrative. No one really talks, they mostly mumble. I did somewhat like the moment when the Go-Pro seemed to have been dropped at sea... was hoping they would leave it there... the fish could have probably made a better movie. Stay away unless you feel a need to know the inner turmoil that burly fisherman must go endure when bored out of their minds. Catch, gut, sweep, sleep... yawn.Stick to the one true Leviathan movie staring Peter Wellers facing off against a deep sea creature.
