 Say NO to shark fin soup ! September 5, 2008

This is one thing you will certainly come away with after watching the film.
As a scuba diver, sharks are what you want to see, especially the whale shark, but they are generally so shy they will certainly keep their distance.
The film sees Rob Stewart explore the `Darwin's theory of evolution' Galapagos islands and Costa Rica. Rob is a professional underwater photographer and videographer so the images he captures while gliding through the depths are stunning. That is until they turn to the finning operations, the corruption and images of sharks caught in a long lines where you can but ponder `what is humanity doing'.
This film really gives you a wake up call to the importance of the oceans and the sharks place at top of the food chain to keep everything balanced.
The books emphasis goes more on the role of the Sea Shepherd, the ocean's eco systems and gives you a chance to look again at the gracefulness of the shark.
A must watch/read.

Beautiful, moving, agonising, inspiring, horrific...
A simply fantastic piece of film making exposing the cruelty with which we exploit the oceans and one of our most spectacular and misunderstood animals, highlighting the apparent inevitability of the demise of the shark and the fact that it is us that will pay the ultimate price.
Beautifully shot in HD with fantastic underwater sequences interspersed with upsetting footage of our abuse of these graceful creatures. Wonderful sound track, great editing and a gripping story will keep you on the edge of your seat and change your view of these creatures and, perhaps, of the way we abuse the sea.
This is not a Blue Planet. It is a conservation film rather than a natural history documentary so expect to listen as well as watch.
Blu-Ray is well worth having, but buy it anyway even in "normal" definition.
As important as "An Inconvenient Truth". A must have film.
A MUST SEE !!! June 10, 2008

Even who lives close to where some of sharkwater was filmed had no idea.
it is eye opening and urgently needed to be seen by all.
WATCH IT! It is about OUR survival!!!!
We need to become conscious of what is happening.
Tell as many people as you can.
Thank you to Rob Stewart.
Truly breath-taking! May 23, 2008

This film is a must see - it will open your eyes to the world of sharks - often shunned by the media - to show these truly majestic fish and the important role they play in our oceans - they are the top predators and so, the rulers of the ocean.
The footage is absolutely stunning on both a positive and a negative side - it highlights the Shark fin trade - so it is too, an educational lesson as well as a fantastic film!
I'd highly recommend this to all!

Sharkwater is an epic in the truest sense of the word. The blurb says it took four years to film across more than 15 countries. Clearly lots of efforts, but the results more than match up! Sharkwater contains scene after scene of stunning underwater imagery of Sharks and marine ecosystems, intelligently highlighting the danger our modern lifestyles are placing upon them. If you liked Blue Planet, this will be right up your street!
It really is an incredible watch and is suited to all audiences from school age up. Like other reviewers I will certainly be encouraging me firends to purchase the DVD as well! Great score as well including Portishead and Nina Simone! :)
