And the debate over the need to explore the ocean depths has been going on for a long time, as demonstrated by an opening clip of JFK attempting to deliver a televised address on the matter, amusingly flubbing his lines and requiring several takes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The filmmaker \u2014 whose previous effort, 2018\u2019s <em>Anote\u2019s Ark<\/em>, dealt with the devastating effects of climate change on the island country of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean \u2014 is a visual anthropologist with a clear affinity for his subject matter. The documentary largely concentrates on the company DeepGreen Metals, later The Metals Company, whose charismatic CEO Gerard Barron (he looks like a slightly weathered Patrick Dempsey) is repeatedly shown making impassioned pitches for the economic and ecological importance of the mining of mineral-rich nodules located at the bottom of the ocean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It requires intense concentration to follow the twists and turns of the narrative, if you can call it that, as the procession of talking heads delivering jargon-heavy information soon becomes numbing. At one point we\u2019re treated to a powerpoint-style lecture on the intricacies of oceanic mining by a scientist drawing on paper on the hood of a car in the desert. It\u2019s an interestingly low-tech approach to explaining pretty high-tech issues. Another lengthy segment concerns many debates in the United Nations over which countries have the right to mine the world\u2019s oceans. Naturally, the United States thinks it does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The International Seabed Authority, located in Kingston, Jamaica, was formed in 1994 to regulate deep-seabed mining, protect the marine environment and settle jurisdictional disputes. Seems the perfect solution, except that, as the film persuasively argues, the organization has been the subject of numerous controversies over, among other things, a lack of transparency and conflicts of interests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    None of this deters The Metals Company, whose motto promises us that \u201cThe Future is Metallic.\u201d But as Momoa repeatedly informs us in his narration (delivered in a suitably solemn tone for the subject matter, but coming close to sounding sedated), there are many questions remaining about the ecological dangers of such mining activities. As much as one wants to engage with these serious issues while watching the film, it\u2019s hard to avoid wishing that the heads would stop talking and the pretty fish would come back.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
