Title: Kind Of A Sinker
Review: Director James Cameron originally made this film for 3D theaters and a lot is lost in the translation to television. "Ghosts Of The Abyss" served well in a smaller format, but "Aliens Of The Deep" just sinks and sinks. There is more emphasis on special effects and hypothesis of life on other planets than seeing the real "Aliens". Sure, thousands of shrimp piled around a volcanic vent is kind of cool, and that fish with two feet-like appendages is unusual, but other than a large translucent jellyfish, there's not much here. All the younger scientists look and talk like actors and the technology of going deep in clear bubble-like compartments is amazing, but it all seems too staged. The extras are interesting only in that they go into more depth about the crew and the machinery. I would recommend this perhaps, on a large 3D screen, but don't bother for the home theater.
