Cinematography and Score Make this Movie Beautfiul,
By
This review is from: Orca the Killer Whale (DVD)
Much like Battlestar Galactica wouldn't have been made without Star Wars, Orca would not exist if it hadn't been for Jaws. But that really doesn't matter. The movie has its merits. It has a great cast: Richard Harris, Keenan Wynn, Charlotte Rampling, Will Sampson, Robert Carradine, Bo Derek (well, she looks good!). Most importantly, it has Gorgeous cinematography and Ennio Morricone's haunting score. What a great piece of music he created for this film. There are very few creatures as amazing as the killer whale. When you see them swimming and swooping magnificently about in the ocean to Morricone's music you will see what is so great about this movie. I've loved it since I was a child and I'm glad that it's breathtaking visuals and sound will be given DVD-quality presentation. It isn't the most original script to come along, but it's a beatiful film.

See it for yourself.,
By Kerrio (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orca the Killer Whale (DVD)
Orca is often compared to the movie Jaws. WHile I admit there are some similarities, there are quite a few important distinctions. While I myself am a fan of both movie, I don't think that any admirer of the Jaws movies will be an instant fan of Orca. There are haunting qualities about this movie. While the typical Jaws veiwer roots for the hunters, fearful of the shark, the typical Orca viewer roots for the whale! I mean... the people in this film really got what was coming to them. Anyway, I think that this is one of those films that has to be seen to be understood. Sure, its corny... in fact its pretty much the epitome of a corny horror flick but in my opinion those are the BEST kinds of horror films.

This is a Very Good movie!!!,
By Justin Bidgood (Newfoundland, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orca the Killer Whale (DVD)
WEll when I first saw the movie "Orca" it was while I was home one night with my dad. He just went out to the movie store and rented it,But the main reason he rented it was because his entire family including himself were extras in it. The scene where evryone is standing on the point watching the fishing boat leave he and his family are standing in the crowd.The movie was shot in my home town Petty Harbour where i still live today....The movie was good!
