The Search for the Ocean's Super Predator
June. 26,2014
There's a mysterious predator lurking in the depths of Australia's wild Southern Ocean, a beast that savagely devoured a great white shark in front of cinematographer David Riggs 11 years ago. Riggs's obsession to find the killer leads him to an aquatic battle zone that's remained hidden until now. Here, killer whales, colossal squid and great white sharks face off in an underwater coliseum where only the fiercest creatures of the marine world survive.

Nice effects though.
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The Search for the Ocean's Super Predator (2013) *** (out of 4)Shark expert David Riggs serves as host in this documentary, which was seen by most as part of Discovery's Shark Week. Taking place in Australia, Riggs believes that a giant Great White shark was eaten by an unknown predator with perhaps a mouth bite as wide as five feet.This documentary is pretty interesting on a number of levels but the biggest is the idea that there might be some sort of shark out there possibly as large as a whale. I'm not going to spoil any of the evidence given here since the documentary really plays out like a mystery as we're given bits of pieces of information until we build up to the ending when an object is placed in the water to try and go down 1900 feet.Of course, shark lovers want shark action and we get plenty of that here. There's some terrific footage of various outings where the Great White sharks are on full display as well as Killer Whales. Such great footage of both creatures is certainly reason alone to watch this but there's no question that the mystery is also handled well and the evidence in laid out in a nice way.
Fantastic documentary exploring the possible predator of a tagged 3m Great White Shark off the South Coast of Western Australia. The hunt for the culprit takes us offshore to the Bremer Bay Canyons, across to the Neptune Islands in South Australia and onshore to a salt lake in a direct path to the canyons. Includes stunning footage of Killer Whales, multiple sub adult Great Whites interacting with one another and a massive 5m adult male that weighs an estimated 2 tonnes. The mystery is laid out for the viewers, the possible options are all explored and through a process of elimination the likely suspect is uncovered. One thing for sure though, there is plenty of scope for further investigation so keep an eye out for a sequel down the track.
