Sharkwater: Extinction

"Shows how important sharks are, in a highly emotive way" (9/10)

See full review of this compared to the original at reasea dot org :)

Mean it was a documentary so it was educational. I believe many of the high reviews may be because he died making the movie, but it is a solid 6.9

I didn't watch the first Sharkwater from 2006 so I couldn't compare it to this one. I guess the first one was lesser depressing to watch than this one because that's the overall feeling I had whilst watching Sharkwater Extinction, a depressive feeling. I lost faith in humanity a long time ago, so even if everybody would watch this gripping documentary I don't think it would change anything. Humans are parasites, greedy and selfish, the only thing that counts is their cosy way of life and nothing will make them change their behaviour. There are some nice shots in this documentary but most of the time it's just a depressive hard story to swallow. Some scenes are in Spanish and not subtitled so difficult to understand for everybody. I searched for the subtitles online but just couldn't find it. Sometimes the sound is just too mumbling so I didn't get all the conversations and that's a minor negative point to this documentary. I applaud the effort of everybody that tries to change the world, those idealists that didn't give up hope, but in my case I just think it's too late to change anything. We're heading to a new world catastrophe and nothing will change that. Maybe we just deserve another mass extinction as we are not worth living on this planet.

Not only is this visually amazing underwater documentary, but it is also rare sight into the life of a man who was willing to do whatever it takes for the planet. I really enjoyed this film. It's an excellent investigation and raw journalism at it's finest, but it also registers so deeply with me emotionally. I feel like I know Rob Stewart, and I'm friends with the sharks. This one is going in the library, can wait for the blu ray.

I have been a fan of the original sharkwater since it was released. Rob's message is stronger and more focused that ever in this incredible sequel. It doesn't dwell on the tragic passing of Rob while making this until the end, which it has every right to do so and it does it well. Great music, awesome subject matter and amazing photography make this a great movie.
