The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

THE DEEPER YOU GO, THE WEIRDER LIFE GETS.

Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou has sworn vengeance upon the rare shark that devoured a member of his crew. In addition to his regular team, he is joined on his boat by Ned, a man who believes Zissou to be his father, and Jane, a journalist pregnant by a married man. They travel the sea, all too often running into pirates and, perhaps more traumatically, various figures from Zissou's past, including his estranged wife, Eleanor.

  • Richard Velez
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Milana Vaughn
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

  • Cecilia Strong
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.
