The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A 3D documentary chronicling filmmaker James Cameron's diving expeditions in his Deepsea Challenger submersible. One of the best parts of 'Deepsea Challenge 3D' except the ocean and just Cameron's explores is that it also showed some small videos from Titanic (1997) and even tho that film is not my favorite Cameron film i admire the man's heart and what he went threw to shoot all of those stuff both underwater and not. But this one really shows some excellent pictures of underwater but also the adventure that waits the well known director. As i said before James Cameron is not a perfect person but he is still a genius and documentaries like this quite prove my point. (8/10)

"Deepsea Challenge" By Valerie Baca In this epic film of adventure, James Cameron takes to sea in the name of science. James Cameron, the famous director of "Avatar" and "Titanic", made a documentary called "Deep Sea Challenge". In this documentary, James Cameron engineered a submarine to go to the deepest part of the ocean. I recommend watching this film if you enjoy deep sea exploring. "Deepsea Challenge" follows James Cameron and his quest to get to the deepest part of the ocean. He had to build a sub that could with stand the pressure of 36,000 feet of water. This film is James journey to the bottom of the "Mariana trench", James Cameron is the main character as well as the one who will dive into the Mariana trench. His journey took place the year 2012 during January in Australia. Cameron and his crew undergo many test dives to prepare themselves for the 36,000 feet dive to the bottom of the trench. This documentary explores the power of the plate tectonic and the scientific importance studying the trenches nature forms. James Cameron and his team travel to the deepest part of the ocean, known as the Marianna trench. The "Mariana trench" was the output of a convergent boundary. The plates have had a huge effect on our world; new trenches are formed as well as volcano's. Separated plates, known divergent boundaries, form mid ocean trenches, plates coming together form mountains, and when a plate goes under a different plate it creates a volcano eruption. Cameron and his crew dove into an extraordinary effect of the movement of the plates. "Deepsea Challenge" was a very incredible science documentary. A part of this documentary that was really good was when James was exploring a trench off the shore of an island and found a different species of jellyfish. Another awesome scene was when one of the underwater robots interesting type of underwater organism roly polys. The last scene I found interesting was when they were about to be submerged into the trench but were unable to because of the dangerous weather. Although, there were few scenes I found boring. For example, when his crew was building the sub, it wasn't as interesting as James diving into trenches. Another scene that I did not like was when James and his crew were talking about the deadlines, everything that was going wrong or the equipment they needed to repair. Sadly, the scene I disliked the most was when two of James' best friends died in a helicopter crash. Everyone suffered a lot but they pulled through. Although some scenes were not as interesting as the some of the great scenes, the film was incredibly interesting overall. The moral "Deep Sea Challenge" has to show is to never give up on your dreams, keep dreaming because one day your dream may come true. James, the main character, always dreamed of diving into the depths of the ocean and exploring the mysteries it has to offer and without a doubt he did exactly that. From diving into his imagination in a card board box to diving in the only submarine that could withstand the pressure of 36,000 feet of water, James always dreamt he would dive and he did exactly that. I would recommend this film to all those kids, teenagers or adults that find the ocean intriguing. Also, to everyone who loves a good diving movie and documentaries. This movie would not be a great movie to anyone who dislikes the ocean or is bored by the ocean; the movie is about the ocean after all. The MPAA rating is PG (parental guidance). I found this documentary very interesting. This movie is a good movie overall.

If you're looking to go on an expedition but don't want to leave your couch, then James Cameron's "Deepsea Challenge" is the movie for you. It is about Cameron's journey as he builds a submarine to help him explore and research the deep sea ocean floor. It is a majestic science-filled journey that displays some great cinematic shots. "Deepsea Challenge" follows James Cameron and his quest to reach the deepest part of the ocean and discover and collect scientific data. In 2009, Cameron started his plan to reach the deepest part of the sea. James did his final dive in his submarine, "The Challenger", located near the Mariana Trench. "Deepsea Challenge" is full of underwater science. It talks about having to build a submarine for Cameron to dive in that will be able to withstand the pressure of the deep dives. If they do this wrong or mess up at all it could potentially put Cameron's life on the line. It also talks about deep ocean trenches. Cameron takes a dive into the deepest part of the ocean called the Mariana Trench. The trench is a result of the bigger, denser, Pacific plate colliding with the smaller less dense Mariana plate and is subducted under forming the trench. This is a great movie to watch if you are looking to learn about diving in the ocean and also about trenches.This movie has a lot of ups and downs, more ups than downs, and one of those many ups is its scenery. Its film work is amazing and some of the scenes they capture make it feel as if you are there in the submarine with Cameron. Every time Cameron is in the sub descending deeper and deeper into the waters it looks so real it almost makes you feel as if you are there with him in the submarine. I watched this movie in my Earth Science class on a screen so I can only imagine if this was viewed in Imax when it released. One of the few downs is that if you aren't into science or the ocean this probably isn't the movie for you. I'm not a big fan of science and the movie seemed to drag a bit but the scenery makes up for it. One of the best scenes is when they show Cameron diving to the Titanic and they also show him diving to another sunken ship. This movie is full of science but it also teaches another very important lesson. It talks about Cameron dreaming of exploring the ocean as a young boy. He worked hard and stuck to his goals and dreams and was able to achieve it. This shows that you can be whatever you want to be and you can do whatever you want to do as long as you set your mind to it and work hard enough. If you enjoy the ocean and science, then this is the perfect movie for you. It goes along on a great adventure and teaches you a bit about the ocean. If you are the type of person that likes up- tempo action-filled movies, then you shouldn't watch this movie. This movie is rated PG. I think this is a good film as it takes you on an adventure that show you some amazing underwater shots. I would rate this movie a *** out of *****.My name is Elijah Moreno. I am 17 years old and I am a senior currently attending Porterville High School. I have played basketball all four years at my high school and that is the only sport I play. Outside of school I like to workout for basketball and get better.

James Cameron is at it again. No, not with another 'Avatar' sequel (although he is making about a baker's dozen more of those), but with another water based documentary, complete with his 3D technology. Cameron is known for brining us great films such as 'Terminator 1' and 'Terminator 2', 'True Lies', 'Titanic', 'The Abyss', and 'Avatar'. With films like 'The Abyss', 'Titanic', 'Avatar', and hell - even his first film 'Piranha 2', you can tell he is fascinated with large bodies of water.Since Cameron now is a billionaire, he can pretty much do anything he wants to. So instead of wasting it on drugs and cars, he has chosen to educate us and explore one of the biggest mysteries still known to human kind. And that is the deepest part of the ocean. We've been to the moon, Mars, and further, but we have never been to the deepest point of the ocean, and that is on our home planet. Since Cameron has a passion for exploration and discovering new things, not to mention access to funds and a brilliant team, he has taken his hobby and made it an educational and scientific endeavor.Cameron's mission is to journey down to the deepest point of the ocean, which is about five miles down, and collect samples, discover new life, and explore. And that is what this documentary 'James Cameron's Deepsea Challenge' sets out to do. In this short 91 minute documentary, we see Cameron and his crew research and assemble the one-manned submarine that will dive to the bottom of the ocean. All of the tests with the dives, equipment, and 3D cameras that should sustain the massive amount of pressure, traveling that low to the ocean bottom. And then we see the actual dives, which has Cameron himself inside a very small spherical room, operating the craft itself. If one thing goes wrong down there, he would be immediately vaporized within a second.If you remember the fun documentary where Cameron and Bill Paxton (Pullman) went down to look at the real Titanic, there were several suspenseful scenes where alarms went off, which raised our blood pressure. Those types of things happen here as well. This documentary shows quite well the hazards and payoffs with each failure and success, as Cameron pushes his crew and himself to meet deadlines, so that he can explore something that nobody ever has before. Seeing the amount of hours and man power to make this journey happen is quite incredible.I wouldn't expect some major discovery or big alien life forms here, but rather just the feeling that somebody did reach the deepest point of the ocean without exploding is quite impressive. And I think Cameron here is hoping that future generations will look to this and be inspired to take this further and explore more, since there is unexplored ocean territory down there larger than North America still. Who knows what is down there. And this documentary, simple as it may be, shows us what is possible in the future.
