Most amazing clip?


So, what did everyone think the most mind-blowing clip in Oceans was? I think it was the battle between the two armies of spider crabs. The massive-wave sequence is close.

it's hard for me to pick one, but i might say the scene with the dolphins, the sharks, the birds, and the whales all feeding on those fish. i was on the edge of my seat! and then the humpbacks off the alaskan coast when they weren't visible then suddenly at a signal they all just erupted out of the water!

ya... that scene was unbelievable. actually unbelievable - i couldn't believe it was real.

Indeed, it felt like CGI. Actually many scenes had an almost CGI feel to it. It's either very good CGI or it's VERY VERY VERY good footage.

The opening scene. Comming up on the tip of south america is such stormy weather and the camera was not shaking a bit. I never understood how they did it until I read that it's a helicopter flying in very stormy weather, which is done in several other places in the film.

Definitely the waves tossing the aircraft carrier around like a toy. My jaw literally dropped - the raw power of the ocean seen in that footage is astounding.

That wasn't an aircraft carrier. It was an oceanographic research vessel named Veronika, and it's about 90-100 feet long.
