Sharkwater

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.

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.

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.

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

I gave 99 for the importance of the subject and not the quality of the film!

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.

Shark fanatic turned Eco-terrorist Rob Stewart converts himself mid-film to expose the evils lurking behind Asia's new found mass consumption of shark fin. Stewart traipses the globe with an arsenal of weak writing, untrained narration, loaded interviews & his talented oceanography background to paint a dire picture of shark culling. Features drama more legitimate than The Cove, but sanctimonious posturing does wear thin when, at the same time, GP are engaged in vigilante, open-water warfare.

Stewart is gifted behind the camera, and the images he captures are simply breathtaking. In front of the camera and narrating, he doesn't fare so well. Especially at the beginning his narration sounds like a west coast stoner reading a 5th-grade essay about sharks. It's a shame because the film has a strong message and Stewart and co. took some big risks making it (and not from the sharks).

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.

I love sharks, they are my favourite animals, so this was a beautiful yet heartbreaking documentary. Got misty eyed a few times. Unfortunately 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"

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

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.

The writing is poor, unfortunately, but he captures some strong images though. And the message is, as we all know, very powerful and important! Why does he talk about himself all the time?
