it's me again! :P
there have been movies which featured diving here and there, and some of the movies were advertised on AD. I jus need an opinon on the two movies that i'm dying to watch!
1) The Cave
2) Into The Blue
i know these movies have opened in sing, but i'm stuck in aust, and these movies will open towards the end of the year. anyone have any comments on them? ratings would be good too! :P
or does anyone know if there will b any new movies coming out with diving as well?
p/s: There was a docu movie called the "Deep Blue". It featured here in Aust last year. i'm not sure if it opened in SG, but it's a super good docu.
I haven't seen Into the Blue yet, but I enjoyed The Cave. It's a good old fashioned sci-fi adventure flick. Just ignore some of the blatant diving errors.
E.g. they're supposed to be on CC re-breathers, but some of them are leaking bubbles LOL.
Another e.g. they don't have com systems on, but they manage to carry on full-on conversations and arguments with regulators in their mouths.
This one I love: they disassemble their rebreathers and use the cylinders as open circuit scuba gear. So some of them are breathing air, others breathing pure O2. I shudder to think of their PPO2...well, must've been OK since no one appeared to tox out on pure O2 while diving waaaay below 20 feet. LOL
Like I said, it's not a documentary, so enjoy it for what it is: an entertaining movie. Think Alien meets Predator underwater. :)
hello! :)
thanks for that gd review. i'll be sure to catch it! sounds pretty gd. haha. i like ur criticisms. well, it is a very exaggerated movie though
however, i caught INTO THE BLUE recently. it's fantastic! the diving scenes were MARVELLOUS! my gosh.. once u see it, u jus wish u were in the bahamas! it's sooooo nice! and i was actually looking out for the dive sponsers for their dive equipment. heh heh. not bad. diving scenes were fantastic, story line not too bad. and paul walker was HOT in it. hahaha. :) hopefully it opens soon at ur side! oh! and do stay on for the closing credits... it shows MORE diving scenes... real gd!
sounds good. any movie with eye candy in it deserves our attention. i've gotta find some time to catch that in the theatre: i'm sure it'll look better on the big screen than on my sad little TV at home.
another movie that i've been trying to catch is the latest IMAX movie, Ocean Men. it's a documentary on the rivalry between the two freediving legends Pipin Ferreras and the super hot Umberto Pelizzari. check it out at http://www.ocean.com/film.asp?resourceid=97&catid=51&locationid=3
