Diving Into the Unknown

Playing with nature like cowboys and making a hero sob film to document themselves to try and regain solace from rolling the dice. All very self serving.

The basic story is compelling; however the film itself is slow moving, without real heart and overall boring.

I felt the story behind the divers was heart felt and inspiring. There was not alot of diving footage in the film but you learn what was going through the divers heads as they were dealing with the accident.

As a cave diver this movie helped reinforce why we believe that Murphy is always there. As a former Public Safety Diver I can not imagine the stress of recovering men you knew and loved as brothers. The pace was good and keeps you engaged. The fact that they were able to smile and laugh after they had brought them back to the surface can not be explained to anyone who has never done technical diving in an overhead environment. They brought those men's bodies back to the families. They found closure in that. The fact that one member bailed on the first attempt and was surface support the second day reinforces our belief in the rule that, "any team member can call any dive for any reason without the chance of ridicule.". Not a movie for everyone, but one worth watching.

The most interesting part is the first 15 minutes and then it's a real snoozer.

I never really cared about the people in this film Maybe it was because of the subtitles or the fact that their voices were so annoying or that I clicked buy on accident and kept it because of the good ratings. I hated the film so much I could never get caught up in the courage of the divers and their Marines like leave no Man behind attitude

Garbage nothing more nothing less!

Afterwards, I thought, "Wait, was this just some kind of propaganda film for Finland or the Finnish diving community?" So many questions left unasked—let alone answered. And an eerie lack of decorum or reverie for the lost friends—after the movie's first 15 minutes, anyway. And how/why the big-budget filming of the retrieval operation?? Who funded this??? Like I said, it feels a bit like a propaganda flick. Sigh. I felt seriously played after watching this one.

As a family of divers we sat around and watched every scene intensely, reading every subtitle. Re-watched portions just to get a grip on what all was going on and they could have done a better job explaining some stuff at the beging but this stire is very moving and inspiring. To watch the emotions of this diving "family" is surreal. A must see for anyone who does anything adventurious, not to scare you just to make you realize the reality of what can happen at any minute. A must buy movie!

The story is incredible with amazing cinematography to match. You really feel for the team and what they went through.
