i agree

It IS a timely documentary...but, in my opinion, it doesn't address a very important point... that if there were less need for the resources then there wouldn't be a need for this documentary.... in plainer terms, why isn't there a LARGE move, governed by each nation's government, towards a public transportation system that will meet all needs...including individual services for those in need... like the handicapped...or, let's say, a vehicle parked in every neighborhood for emergency(life threatening) situations...and i'm just coming up with possible needs off the top of my head...sure, it would take a LARGE organizational shift...but ULtimately it would reduce the need for the resources now being mined(including drilling) that are SO damaging the ecosphere... think about it...almost all vehicles spend 90% of their time PARKED... if each government made it part of their business to make SURE that there was a system to move around it's populace...inexpensively, including it could be a tax...and it prob wouldn't be much...what a difference it would make... so...once again our species is approaching an important problem from the wrong angle... and i don't CARE about what people might think is an 'unrealistic solution'. WHY? Because of our addiction to the idea that we're enTItled to move around when and where we want to? Not now that we understand the consequences of this freedom... we either get these addictions under control or we won't survive...AND we'll be taking most of other life forms with us in our headlong rush into relative extinction...

A powerful and timely documentary

Unlike most docos of this sort, which tend to appear after something serious has happened and thereby they analyse the damage or the implications of what went on at the time, the central subject of Deep Rising (deep sea mining) is hugely topical right now-whether it commences or not is being decided as we speak. Knowing this while viewing Deep Rising makes it all the more compelling. The story follows two parallel yet opposing protagonists, one a world leading marine geologist, the other a CEO of a mining company. Led by Jason Momoa's rather fitting "voice of the deep" and a beautiful score by Olaffur Arnolds, the film is both cinematic (stunning deep sea animals) and politically fascinating. A rare doco in the moment doco.

New frontiers of earth exploitation

This might not be the documentary of the year, but it is a much-needed investigation into deep-sea mining. It doesn't really clear things up or give us solutions, but it does get you thinking about the whole deal. Its main drawback is apparent in the limited contributions, with only a solitary marine scientist participating in the discourse. On the upside, the documentary offers captivating underwater visuals of marine life/geology and a commendable soundtrack.The biggest issue is the relatively superficial exploration of the uncertainties surrounding mineral extraction from the seabed and its potential ecological impacts. A more comprehensive examination, featuring diverse professional perspectives, could have amplified the documentary's depth. The recent decision by the Norwegian government to authorize seabed mining accentuates the relevance and timeliness of these discussions, particularly in the context of global challenges like the climate crisis.It is commendable just because of the fact that it encourages viewers to scrutinize the actual ecological implications of ostensibly sustainable energy production chains. A reminder that even the supposedly safe harbors might not be so safe. So, are these alternatives actually green, or are we just kidding ourselves? There's no green revolution without batteris and batteries need heavy metals to be manufactures. Overall, it is a cool watch, but it could have taken advantage of more professional insights.
