The actors are bad, the music is really bad. It has aesthetics that look like a porno at times. But you can still have some fun watching this movie.

Watch the Director's Cut. This movie imparts a feeling of peace, love and respect for nature. There's more to it than meets the eye, give the quirkiness of the film a chance, and you will be rewarded. You'll laugh, cry, love.

Reno puts in a solid performance where good performances were a bit lackluster. At nearly three hours, it seems to not have enough substance to fill that void. Cut the running time, make the girl less idiotic and increase the rivalry/drama between divers and you would of had a better movie. Decent.

Some lady falls in love with a diver she catches a glimpse of, runs off to Europe to find and seduce him, he knocks her up, Jean Reno (the only decent character) dies for no reason, and then the diver guy (who's love of dolphins is extremely uncomfortable) commits suicide swimming with them to escape life or whatever. Not good.

"The Big Blue" isn't for everyone. Director's cut that I watched is almost 3 hours long, there is certain level of cheesiness, and the sentimentality is almost as wide as the oceans that are portrayed. But I enjoyed almost every minute of it. Acting and characters are very interesting, photography is worthy of the best nature documentaries, soundtrack is brilliant, and the story of love triangle between man, woman and the sea is pretty fresh. Oceans are beautiful.

Hugely overrated! Nice cinematography and music, but truely idiotic plot.

This was a really weird experience... The plot was almost non-existing and the character were all unrelatable and not very well played. But the setting and the overall feeling of the movie does somewhat make up for some of it. Could have been a truly great movie.

the ending stayed with me

I've only seen the movie once, when I was about 15 or so. I remember liking it overall, but the only thing I remember about the movie is the part where The Professional punches the windshield out of that tiny car. That was awesome.
