I can only imagine how many cameras were destroyed during filming. I don’t know how they filmed some of these shots. They are so hypnotic like when the birds are flying by the chum, or the shells and starfish are flowing either from the ship onto the camera or just through the water. The editing is also seamless. One moment you are getting fish dumped on you and before you even know it you are in a bucket with. The butchering of the fish is very sad (especially the manta rays). When you see the eyes of the fish, its hard to tell if this is just how fish look or if their eyes have just budged out of their faces due to lack of water and being stuck in a net dangling in the oxygen enriched air. They look like Arnold Schwarzenegger when he is on the surface of Mars in TOTAL RECALL. I really feel for the animals and there are so much real blood and guts I find this harder to watch than a SAW film (even though this has less gore). It’s hard to tell if. the real power of the film is you feel like you are on the boat. You feel like a fish flopping on the deck. You feel the cold. Smell the salted air. By the end you are drenched with sea water.
