  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
James Cameron and a team of explorers go under the North Atlantic Sea in bubble-looking submersibles to search for "Aliens Of The Deep" dark ocean floor. Discovering all sorts of strange and beautiful creatures, it's easy for the travelers to imagine what life on other planets may be like. (Tricia Spears)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits image quality that is suitable for the subject matter. While the picture can appear somewhat soft at times, details are adequate throughout. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, bold blues beneath the water

Soundtrack:
Dialogue and narration shows very good articulation, and solid dynamics in effects (often relegated to the front three screen channels) make this an enjoyable Dolby
