Of paramount importance is The Odyssey's ability to capture the wonders of the sea and evoke the feeling that entranced Jacques, which it achieves handsomely and convincingly.

The film doesn't measure up to the figure of the French naval officer, despite also exposing the fallible side of Cousteau. [Full review in Spanish]
