Rich guy with camera goes snorkeling in cold waters and makes friends with an octopus. Narration seemed a bit forced or something. There wasn't enough info on the octopus life other than being intelligent and able to regrow arms. The shark chase was the best part.

Octopuses are just absolutely amazing and you really get a feel for it here. The narrator has an unfortunately boring tone, but the story itself is great. I also really strongly disagree with his decision to become part of this octopus' world as more than an observer, but then choosing to not intercede to help her.

Motherfucker, you are not David Attenborough! Yes, it has a lot of nice shots (thanks to Roger Horrocks) but you can compare the story to builiding a beautiful relationship with a girl, and then patiently filming her being brutally raped in a bad neigborhood because you don't want to interfere with the natural turn of events. All the points go to the poor octopus that believed she can trust a human.

Nice documentary. Some nice insights about the wild and connection. Beautiful underwater footage. The narration works most of the time, particularly because it can be insightful. At times it did feel a bit manipulative or overly dramatic / cinematic, which cheapened the experience a little for me. I also think it could've been just a bit shorter. Nice ending quote, that hit me. Spoiler: "What she taught me was to feel... that you're part of this place, not a visitor. That's a huge difference."

A lot of captivating underwater footage. Points off for the overly talky narration and music. More visual, cinematic storytelling that let the images do the talking would be appreciated.
