Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pretty Good

Expected more

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is not a typical documentary but a visual essay about humans as predators. Via many small cameras we see how the shadowy figures on a small vessel capture their prey. we see fish slowly dying, shellfish gasping their last breath and seegulls picking on the remains. The men on the boat don't seem to care about the death that surrounds them. Is it eat or be eaten or just plain greedy? I really enjoyed the visuals but the movie itself was a very slow burn. If the tempo was higher I would have rated it higher. That said it's a great movie about human nature and should be seen by anyone who eats fish.

Leviathan is a bold documentary shot with multiple small camera's from many strange angles. The camera dips under the water oh so often and we see how birds attack their prey. We see up close fish carcasses in containers and blood dripping from tables where the fish are being gutted on board a ship. Meanwhile the crew of the ship mumbles inaudible and sometimes come into frame. Actually there is not much said at all in this dark and claustrophobic tale of life and death at sea. What are the filmmakers trying to convey, no Idea. But what is shown is fascinating and intriqueing. Is it a horror tale showing how our mass consumption threatens all? Or just a grim look at daily life of fishermen trying to earn a pay-check? Either way the film is a enjoyable - albeit a sometimes extremely slowly paced - roller-coaster of a ride. Maybe more of an art piece than straight up documentary but that's OK. If I want to watch people talk about the experience of fishing I can turn on discovery Channel.

The movie poster is purposefully misleading. C'mon...let's use a creepy Gothic font, a dark ominous sky full of creepy birds, and for good measure, a Bible verse in the opening sequence about a legendary creature of massive dimensions...and it is nothing more than a bunch of GoPro camera B-roll of what? How tedious and boring commercial fishing can be? How the big bad commercial fishing "leviathans" are overfishing the ocean? Good Lord...my friend's 12 year-old grandson has amateur footage on Vimeo that puts this tripe to shame. My advice to the makers of this movie? Be honest. Being a lousy film maker is nothing to be ashamed of. I certainly couldn't do it. But what I would never do, is post a picture of a devastatingly handsome man in his late twenties on Match.com and not understand why my hot young date was upset that I actually turned out to be an overweight man in his late fifties with wrinkles, saggy neck skin, and thinning gray hair.

This is not a documentary, this is not even a movie. All this is is 1 hour and 28 minutes of pure GARBAGE. No dialogue, shitty camera work, terrible audio, and no sense of direction what so ever. I have never seen a movie this bad in my whole life, i watched 20 minutes of this thinking it would eventually cut to something that actually resembled a documentary but nothing. An hour and a half of pure garbage. Seriously all this is a some guy who never speaks with a camera mounted on himself on a fishing boat. No words are spoken and nothing at all happens. All you ever see is parts of the deck, which is old and shitty, a few shots of seagulls and the water... sometimes you see the cage come out of the water. Biggest piece of crap i have ever seen in my whole life. Whoever made this movie should kill themselves. they should Take a rope and hang themselves and while you are dangling there cut your wrists... This is how bad this piece of garbage is. Not even a movie, and certainly not a documentary. A person with down syndrome could do better. NOT EVEN A MOVIE!!!
