Is there a paradise on Earth where you don't have to hear about the stock market, dwell on partisan politics, or bump into The Jerry Springer Show on television? Sure: underneath the waves on the ocean floor, where spectacular forms of life couldn't care less about human follies of the nonpolluting variety. This mesmerizing DVD is a wordless exploration of sea creatures that is closer to video art than a National Geographic special. Intended to relax a viewer with lush music and the calming, sinuous movements of graceful fish, dolphins, and otters, Experience the Deep is more concerned with spectacular imagery than education (though certainly much can be learned watching the ocean's animals approached with the enviable intimacy of this production's divers). Schools of silver-toned fish huddle together and flow apart like storm clouds seen at high speed. Gorgeous red-and-black swimmers cavort in the wheat-like scintilla of some critter's underbelly. A hammerhead shark floats by, more beautiful than threatening. Experience the Deep puts the viewer right in the middle of it all. The DVD includes scene index, fish jokes (best appreciated by kids, no doubt), a fact page, and subchapters on a couple of different creatures. --Tom Keogh

4 out of 5 stars Incredibly Relaxing.......2006-08-22

I saw this video at a hotel in Reno. It was so soothing and mesmerizing that I bought it. Now, when I can't sleep, I play it. Works great.

5 out of 5 stars TOTALLY AWESOME imho.......2006-03-21

How can anyone dislike this movie? It rules!!!! I especially like the fish jokes section wherein the Naso Lituratus (Of the Blonde variation for those a bit unfamiliar with Acanthuridae...) tells a rip roaring joke which appears inside of a sweet bubble and then...what takes place next can only be described as pure magic...the bubbles begin to retract and as they do you know it's coming...that's right...the most amazing sound of all-time. DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!! It's really impossible to represent with words...sort of like the voice of god. The Naso's voice is just too powerful for the human mind to comprehend.

3 out of 5 stars Good for kids.......2003-03-30

I try to spend at least a few hours a week taking pictures of fish, and bought this DVD so my child - who's not yet swimming, let alone underwater - could see what sort of stuff is "down there." The quality of the video and audio is definitely nothing extraordinary, but the subject matter is fine, the price was right, and I'd rather have my kid watching real live fish than cartoons. Of course, I had to point out which species are, and aren't, found where we live.

1 out of 5 stars Experience The Deep.......2001-03-05

For the love of god! Do not purchase this dvd. It is awful!!! It has no educational or entertainment value! The sound and video is crap! I would give anything to go back in time to get the money I wasted on this damn video. Learn from my mistake! Don't buy anything from Madacy Entertainment! Anyone who recommends this dvd must work for these guys.

1 out of 5 stars Very Poor Quality for a DVD.......2001-02-14

I expected excellent image and beautifully composed music, instead got a video tape quality image and music very badly composed.

The price does not compensate for such a low quality work. Instead I recommend spending more money buying another title.

The only reason to buy this title is to find out if your DVD actually works.
