Atlantis
Atlantis - Le creature del mare
Plots(1)
ATLANTIS is acclaimed filmmaker Luc Besson's awe-inspiring celebration of the beauty and wonder of the world beneath the sea, expanding upon themes touched on in his huge hit The Big Blue. Combining stunning underwater cinematography and a hypnotic score by Eric Serra, Besson's singular vision defies dialogue or narrative structure to explore ocean life as you've never seen it before. At once thrilling, lyrical, and mysterious, ATLANTIS' spell-binding images - with its graceful visuals of mantas, whales, dolphins, sea snakes, and even ferocious sharks at play - will haunt your memory long after the film ends.

A spectacular documentary with a plethora of evocative scenes that, together with Eric Serra's fantastic score, create an exquisite audiovisual experience. On the one hand, the film is an ordinary animal documentary, while on the other hand it is a magical symphony accompanied by unique images. The most impressive scenes for me were the ones with the manta rays and the whale sharks.

It all floats along nicely all right, but somehow I don't trust the calm meditation of that punk Besson, especially in scenes where I'm looking at the iguana on the rock and Serra goes all "Get your body moving."

Starring the captivating music of Eric Serra and the beauty of the underwater world. The result is a meditative spectacle, during which one asks what the hell is the point of it all, that we can, for example, shoot rockets into space, when nature can do all THAT and doesn't need us to do it at all. On the contrary - we are more likely to hinder it.

In my opinion, Atlantis is an unrivalled underwater documentary that is something more than just a documentary. I danced, and I was moved.
