Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: James Cameron upstages the ocean in "Deepsea Challenge 3D," a shallow vanity project that invites us to join him in marveling at his own daring.
Fresh: Film lovers will see how Cameron not only came up with ideas like The Abyss and Titanic, but how his drive turns obsession into commercial movies, usually very profitable ones.
Fresh: While watching Cameron get in touch with his inner Jacques Cousteau won't be to everyone's taste, fans of the director and oceanography gearheads should swoon to the immersive, visually spectacular images of the ocean floor.
Fresh: If the three hours of filming Cameron did in the Trench yield little obvious drama, the story of how the Deepsea Challenger reached those depths makes up for it.
