Full Plot Details

James Cameron journeys to some of the Earth's deepest, most extreme and unknown environments in search of the strange and alien creatures that live there. Joining him is a team of young NASA scientists and marine biologists who consider how these life forms represent life we may one day find in outer space not only on distant planets orbiting distant stars, but also within our own solar system. Aliens of the Deep is the result of expeditions to several hydrothermal vent sites in the Atlantic and the Pacific. These are violent volcanic regions where new planet is literally being born and where the interaction between ocean and molten rock creates plumes of super-heated, chemically-charged water that serve as oases for animals unlike anything ever discovered. Six-foot tall worms with blood-red plumes and no stomach, blind white crabs, and a biomass of shrimp capable of "seeing" heat all compete to find just the right location in the flow of the super-heated, life-giving water or to fry trying. Not dependent on sunlight (like all other life on earth), these ecosystems are as close to alien as anything ever imagined and provide one possible blueprint for the life that might exist beyond our world.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 10/10 by Stephen HoldenA visual adventure worthy of that much degraded adjective, awesome.
TV Guide - 10/10 by Maitland McDonaghAn equally discomfiting mix of popular science and ballyhoo, serves up amazing images of the bizarre life that flourishes in the deepest ocean depths.
Denver Post - 9/10 by Michael BoothBoth dazzling underwater ballet and a welcome salvo for clarity in the current backlash against evolution.
culturevulture.net - 9/10 by Arthur LazereThe crew ooos and aahs and talks like so many valley girls ("awesome," "freaky," etc.), leaving the viewer hungry for some more substantive science to back up the visuals.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumGorgeous as the underwater life-forms are, the excitement of Aliens of the Deep comes from that most old-school, low-tech of elements: real human beings.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Frank ScheckA visually enthralling undersea travelogue.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonWow! Aliens! No, I mean really, creatures like nothing you've ever seen before...
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Roger MooreA master showman's large-format documentary, a movie with great images, great special effects and the sheen of Hollywood often missing in these museum or science-center movies.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by David HiltbrandThe experience is so immediate and immersive that you actually feel as if you are swimming with the krill.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Monsters, egotistical directors, special effects -- yeah, this isn't exactly the Scientific American. But many of the sights in Aliens of the Deep are spectacular.
