One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

"Deepsea Challenge Review" In this epic documentary, James Cameron takes to the sea in the name of science. James Cameron is known for his work in hit movies such as Avatar, Titanic, and Terminator. In this documentary James Cameron has pulled together an elite group of engineers that share one common goal to reach the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana trench in a submarine.The documentary "Deepsea Challenge" shows the challenges James Cameron and his team of engineers had to endure while trying to build a submarine way ahead of its time. They had to consider pressure, lack of light and many other challenges while building the submersible. Deepsea challenge focuses on the ocean and how tectonic plates have completely altered the face of the earth. The Mariana Trench, the trench they visit in the documentary was formed by subduction, which occurs when one tectonic plate goes under another. I liked how safety was always their first priority. They did multiple test dives at different depths so that if there was any problems with the submarine they could fix it before the actual dive. I also enjoyed how they named the animals they saw in the test dives such as the angler-fish. It was also nice that they explained how the Mariana trench was formed.I learned from this documentary that with enough time and enough determination that you can do things that the average person can not. If your life goal is to reach the bottom of the ocean then you can. I believe that other people will also learned the same thing from this documentary. I believe that adults that are interested in ocean exploration or any type of exploration will find this documentary enjoyable. I would not recommend this documentary to younger children because they tend to have a shorter attention span and this movie has its fair share of long and boring moments.

"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.

"Deepsea Challenge" will have you skipping to the theaterBy Sabrina Hernandez, A.K.A. "The Small Town Critic""The Deepsea Challenge" is a documentary on a director. If you like science then I recommend this movie. In my opinion this movie was slow and kind of boring. A director named James Cameron, had a dream of going to the deepest part of the ocean. If you don't know who James Cameron is he is a movie director and he directed big Hollywood movies like "Titanic", "Abyss", "Avatar" and "Terminator". He loved the ocean more than he loved directing movies. "Deep-sea Challenge" follows James Cameron and his quest to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest part of the ocean and the deepest location on Earth, wants to see what its about and explore whats under there. James Cameron wanted to do scientific data on the Mariana Trench. He didn't want to just touch the bottom of the ocean and float back up because he knows that possible, he wanted to do more than that, he wanted to make history. In the documentary, James Cameron went to the bottom of the ocean to study the ocean trenches. This documentary was made to show you that anything is possible. This movie helped educate the viewers because now they know how things are formed. he showed the audience how he and his crew built that mini submarine and how he went 36,070 feet under water, down to explore the Mariana Trench What I did like about this movie is all the cool things James Cameron did under water and how they built that mini submarine and how when his friend lost his life, he didn't stop and give up, he still went with his plan and made it even better. That's how you know James Cameron is strong and will never give up. my favorite part of this movie when it showed how he directed his movies. What I didn't like is when he would start complaining that the mini submarine is going to work.The lessons I learned from this movie is that nothing is impossible and never give up on what you want to do and never give up on your dreams. I believed others learned this lesson as well because James Cameron never stopped and kept going. Another lesson i have learned from this film is just because you have on career or job doesn't mean you can't do something on the side like James Cameron, he is a director but he does ocean exploring on the side and i believe other noticed that lesson as well. When I saw this film, I knew I wasn't going to be as interested in this movie because I'm not a big fan of science. But i knew people who are big fans and loved science would like this movie because of all of the cool science experiments James Cameron does. I would not recommend this to people who aren't big fans of science because then would have wasted their money when they could have watched another movie they liked instead. The MPAA rating of this movie is PG. My final word on this film would be good but something i wouldn't watch again.

The first thing that stands out about Deepsea Challenge 3D is that a lot of effort has gone into documenting the missions in a cinematic way. There are cameras everywhere: mounted on smaller submarines to show you the bigger ones; built into the walls; carried by divers; etc. All this is fluidly strung together to recount a fascinating story, and supported by a dramatic soundtrack.The documentary doesn't only show you the Challenger Deep mission, but everything that has led up to it, and this includes tons of film-worthy material. We are given a track record of Cameron's almost romantic relationship with the deep, and this includes some deep sea exploration missions he has conducted using submersible robots, taking us into the monumental wrecks of the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck.A lot of attention is given to the design of the Deepsea Challenger itself, and the engineering exploits that were carried out during its construction and testing. Creating this one-of-a-kind "metal coffin" is an adventure in itself, especially considering that the conditions down there are in many ways more difficult to deal with than outer space.Cameron's narration of his expedition log bears an uncanny resemblance to Jake Sully talking about Pandora, and while there are no straight-out action scenes, Deepsea Challenge 3D feels like a science fiction movie in the way it draws you in - but this time, you know that everything you see is completely real, even the crazy stuff. Some scenes are very tense and will have your jaw hanging in disbelief, such as the dramatic submersion from deck-mounted cranes in sketchy weather, or the extent of multiple systems failure during one of the manned test dives.In the end, Cameron says he hopes this project will also inspire children to live up to their dreams, and indeed this film is likely to mesmerize most kids who see it. It sure made me feel like a kid, and it's very inspiring to witness the adventures of real life explorers.
