Customer Reviews for: Carrier

Rating 1 out of 5 - A shame to the Naval service
I've watched several episodes of the PBS mini-series Carrier and, I think the production was unfortunate and a huge mistake by The Navy.

On the other hand, there's also some evidence to support the remark by one lower-level sailor that it's "a big-a- floating high school." The unusually candid and personal portrait of life aboard the Nimitz should have been taken more seriously.

Since this program focuses on the reality tv approach its material does not always and fully represent the discipline, values and mission of the Naval service.


Rating 5 out of 5 - Carrier
"Carrier" DVD

This documentary has been executed superbly, showing life aboard a nuclear carrier, both enlisted and officer's "on duty" lives. It shows amny aspects of carrier duty which we rarely think about or see. Don't miss this wonderful production!

Rating 5 out of 5 - Carrier DVD
"Carrier" is a beautifully produced documentary on the lives of the sailors and marines who made up an air wing consisting of navy and marine squadrons serving on the USS Nimitz during one deployment in 2005. Interviews with officers and enlisted men and women and their families reveal differing points of view on serving in the Navy and Marines and on the mission. I felt as if I actually knew these young people and gained a new understanding of the sacrifices they make in service to our country. 10 engaging hours. Beautiful music and spectacular photography. This is not a recruiting poster for the Navy or the Marines, but rather an honest look at life aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier on deployment. I highly recommend it.

Rating 4 out of 5 - Ten Hours?
I enjoyed watching Carrier on PBS.
Sadly I was a little tired and missed parts, as I fell asleep.
I bought the DVD in order to catch up with the bits I missed.
It is a well made, well edited documentary. But I'm not sure if someone who didn't catch at least part of the TV airing would want to sit through ten hours of it?
Many years back the BBC did a series which was very similar on MMS Arc Royal. I do think the BBC did a better job.
