Beautiful U/W-movie from the first frame to the last. The documentary tries in a philosophic way to figure out the beginning of life. Among the spectacular shots you see some beautiful scenes, for example from dives in Silfra with its more than crystal clear water (I've dived there myself and I mean really, really crystal clear) at the lake Thingvalla vatn. There are no dialogs, just the voice of a narrator. The movie is great, but that has nothing to do with the narrator and everything to do with the fantastic visual impression one get. Definitely worth 52 minutes! Contains some diving in caves, a geyser (!), the Atlantic Ocean and between the continental plates at Silfra.

A tribute to Luc Besson's Atlantis...
ville-511 August 2004
The cinematography is up there with Atlantis. Vivid colors, clear waters, time-lapse camera work and such.
Lots of beautiful sceneries of the ever-changing Iceland and the surrounding sea, from the tiniest plankton's and fish to erupting volcanoes and geysers.
The soundtrack has some appropriate ambient new age synth melodies - reminding of Eric Serra's soundtrack to Atlantis once again.
The only low point for me was the somewhat unnecessary Finnish narration containing some semi-spiritual nonsense about viking gods and the like:too artsy for my taste.
