It's a very rare film which receives a "10" from me on IMDb. "Planet Ocean" deserves it; this is a visually impressive, well-crafted, timely, and critical piece of film making.
This doco focuses on wide angle shots of huge ocean trawlers and cargo ships, to drive home to the viewer the industrial nature of modern seafood harvesting. After seeing this film, you will understand why our oceans are literally on the brink of collapse. The wealth of ocean riches -which we once assumed was inexhaustible- simply cannot handle modern, industrialized fishing.
The film tells us: "Every day, 4 million ships set out to attack the ocean." It's a mind boggling figure, and one which cannot be ignored.
This is not a joke. This is very real, and in all likelihood, the oceans will be fished out by the time your grandchildren come into this world. But it doesn't have to happen.
Everyone should see "Planet Ocean". It should be required viewing in public schools. We can either be the generation which destroyed the Natural World, or the one which saved it.
