Decent enough documentary, but as a 5th-rate keanu reeves impersonator, the director/narrator is nauseating

I love sharks, they are my favourite animals, so this was a beautiful yet heartbreaking documentary. Got misty eyed a few times. Unfortionally the narration is quite bad, but the movie isn't about that. It's about what happens to sharks and oceans world wide. And it's absolutely destructive. "We're just a bunch of primates out of control"

saving sharks is a good idea but this is probably the lamest documentary i've ever seen. dude, this was supposed to be about sharks, not you.

One of the worst docos Ive ever seen. I think we see more of Rob Stewarts naked chest than we do shark footage. Get over yourself. Plus theres too much narration (and not even well done at that) and its overly melodramatic.

It has a noble purpose, but as a film it has a number of serious problems. Mainly, the director chooses to focus on himself and his own interest in sharks - which I'm sure seemed like a good idea on paper because he's a sharp-looking fellow, but his monotonous voice and complete lack of charisma make this an awkward and dull watch. It picks up when the focus shifts to the anti-poacher action squad, but then it goes back to boring old Stewart again.

Bad narration and the message gets tiresome after about 30 minutes but, it's beautiful to watch in HD.

I loved the message, unfortunately, writing is not Rob Stewart's strong point. He should have hired a journalist to write his narrative because when you have a limited vocabulary and look like a surfer it's hard to take you seriously. He sounded too much like an uneducated bleeding-heart liberal. However, he is an amazing cinematographer and the underwater shots were breathtaking. I have immense respect for Stewart and his entire crew for risking their lives to make this film.

This is a beautiful film with a convincing and counter-intuitive message. *Sharkwater* is the *Anti-Jaws*, and my consciousness was raised accordingly. Points off, however, because Rob Stewart himself is not as interesting as the sharks he photographs...and - unfortunately - that's not what he seems to think.

Beautiful underwater footage and an amazing journey makes this a great documentary. Rob Stewart sets out to make a documentary about sharks, and ends up in a journey that nearly killed him. It also highlights the amazing work Sea Shepherd is doing to protect marine life.

Visually stunning but heavy-handed. Rob Stewart's voice drove me nuts, too; I kept waiting for him to slip a "dude" or a "like" into his lines.
