Must see documentary
By a customer from Oxford , 22 Jul 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
This won't be the most enjoyable film you ever see. It's not meant to be. The picture it paints is bleak, but as an educational documentary it is a 'must see'. It explains in an engaging way the state of our oceans. Fish stocks in general are down by 90%. By approx 2050 there will be NO FISH in the sea. If enough people saw this film we would stand a chance of managing the planet's fish stocks. The visuals are poignant and vivid. It's not for the squeamish, but the sometimes gruesome fishing shots bring home just how massive the global fishing fleet is and how small a chance fish stand of evading our nets. It will influence the way you look at your next fish dinner forever. The problem with fishing is that it is done under or out to the sea. The trawlers are far away out of sight. The damage is hidden by trillions of gallons of water this documentary exposes the fishes plight, with an ever increasing global population we need to act on this now. The most important film documentary since an 'Inconvenient Truth'- Was this review helpful to you?

(9)Excellent documentary with a lot to learn from
By sanzi (1 review) , 15 Apr 2013Excellent film - to be seen! Informative, well structured and an eye-opener. I think there has been a lot of research and work put into this documentary and it would be wonderful if everyone had a chance to see it and to think about what we are doing to our oceans.- Was this review helpful to you?

Depressing yet hopeful..
By KeefyD (2 reviews) , 02 Jan 2012I give this film 5 stars, not because it is beautifully shot, well put together and informative but because I think it should be considered essential viewing.
I confess, I am interested in these types of issues and yet I had to build up to watching this, a bit like putting off housework, something I knew I should do but just didn't feel like doing.
It's a bleak thought what we have done and are doing to the oceans and it seems unstoppable.
Yet thankfully the film ends with hope and a simple list of actions we can all take.
This film should depress you, it should make you angry and then it should make you determined to do your bit.- Was this review helpful to you?

Important information but below par presentation
By nickstreet36 (5 reviews) from St. Albans , 15 Aug 2011There are very important issues in this film & I recommend it to anyone who isn't very informed about over-fishing and wants to know more. However, in terms of presentation I did find it lacking on a number of levels. I think the actual information content could have been expressed in a third of the time. And the dramatic music is too loud and just irritating. I'm beginning to really like the documentaries from Dogwoof & have seen quite a few of them. End of the Line wasn't up to the standard of Food Inc, Burma VJ, Gasland, Black Gold or A Crude Awakening. All of these highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well told, well shown...important
By Zanne2 (1 review) from London, UK , 08 Jan 2011This is an important film for all of us to see - consumers, policy makers, business people, investors, and chefs and restauranteurs...
The film is beautifully shot, well told. Quite simply - we must make changes in how we fish, how we buy, how we consume, how we invest, how we protect and conserve. In just over an hour, the case is made about overfishing, about the economic, environmental and social impacts, and about the sources of solutions. And its not done in a 'preachy' or 'apocalyptic' way, its done in a smart, captivating way.
The story is one of reality and of hope, it is challenging and timely. It is an opportunity for all of to know about the state of the world's fishing and fisheries, we must know about what we can do about this NOW. This film helps us to see how we play a role in this, and how we can and must work to change policy, change purchasing, change consumption, change livelihoods.
See this film. And then be part of the solution.- Was this review helpful to you?
