Octopus Volcano

2007

Deep in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea lies the volcanic island of Stromboli. Erupting every 20 minutes, it is one of the world's most active volcanoes. Life on the surface is tough when the volcano is spewing molten lava. Beneath the surface, a healthy population of common octopus thrives. Scientists are trying to discover what allows the octopus to survive in such a hostile environment.

So cute watching the octopus leave the ship to go back to its habitat in the waters.
Those suckers are smart!

I'm giving this doc a four-star rating because it does exactly what it wants to do and doesn't necessarily do anything more -- it tells a very interesting tale of octopuses that live near the volcano of Stromboli off the coast of Italy. It's a fascinating little look into the behaviors of said animals and other creatures that live in this heated environment, and it actually is able to cover a lot of ground in its short 50-minute runtime without ever feeling overpacked with its material. It's informative, easy to watch, and consistently interesting, and that's pretty much all that needs to be said about it. If you have 50 minutes to spare, this is definitely not a bad way to spend that time.

Letter Grade: A-

A bit repetitive in sharing the same information a few times over, but still a decent way to pass time. 

The look of the doc & the production/editing remind me of FilmRise (Forensic Files) and I’m not mad about it at all… a doc with octos, volcanoes, and jellies set to a true crime show’s score turned out to be exactly what I didn’t know I wanted.

question: does an octopus react to someone knocking on its house? 
this documentary takes an hour to find that information.

genuinely really cool and informative with great footage but you can't not laugh every time they say stromboli
