    Award winning animal cruelty

    Beautifully shot, colorful and swift, but OH BOY is this a documentary that hasn't aged well.

    Over the course 88 minutes we see Mr Cousteau and his boys basically torture their way through the sea. It's a bad time for everything from sea turtles, baby whales, sharks and lobsters.

    Thanks but no thanks to this parade of human arrogance.
