5.0 out of 5 stars excellent video of giant squids *and* whales, March 2, 2001

By	Tim F. Martin (Madison, AL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Really well done video, provides some interesting information on the never-seen-alive giant squid and the hunt for it today. Truly the most enigmatic of creatures, this largest living invertebrate is still poorly known as far as its life habits and daily activities go. A real life monster, this video documents some of the extraordinary efforts undertaken to see and/or film this creature alive.

One of the methods they tried to use to see the giant squid was to attach durable cameras to sperm whales. Fascinating to not only see the whales up close but see what they see as they dive!

So really the program is great if you like giant squid and/or if you like whales!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super sea monsters, April 10, 2000

By	Mako (Finland) - See all my reviews

An excellent and amazing documentary on giant squid narrated by Stacy Keach. I was amazed to now these creatures even excist. I hope that marine biologists soon find this mythical monster, so that National Geographic can make a new special on it. Brilliant video indeed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, February 8, 2001

By A Customer

This is an amazing video and I highly recommend it for anyone who has any interest in marine life. Thankfully it contains virtually no evolutionary nonsense - only some of the most fascinating footage I have ever seen, as well as many little known facts about squid and whales. Engrossing from beginning to end.
