Product Description
CARRIER is a character driven, edge-of-your-seat, nonfiction drama as well as a total immersion in the high stakes world of a nuclear aircraft carrier. CARRIER follows a core group of film participants aboard the USS Nimitz, from the admiral of the strike group to the fighter pilots to the youngest sailors, as they navigate personal conflicts around their jobs, families, faith, patriotism, love, the rites of passage and the war on terror.

 Haze Gray and Underway August 15, 2008
Possibly the best documentary about life on an aircraft carrier. I've been there, done that, and have the ball cap, and parts of Carrier took me back to when I was deployed on one. At the end, I wanted it to go on, it was that good. It should be required viewing for anyone contemplating joining the Navy, but it is not in any sense a recruiting film.
Carrier August 11, 2008
Reality show on the high seas. If you love flying you will love most of
the flight scenes. Better than "Top Gun". Shows the real Navy, warts and all. I enjoyed most of the characters and got involved with their stories. One I did not care for was a real loser but he ended up off the ship. Would almost like a follow-up on characters to know what happened to them a year or so after this was shot.
 Boring and not what I expected August 4, 2008

The series and title promise an in-depth view behind the curtains of a marvellous piece of technology. Instead I always felt like watching a boy-scout documentary with the toys of an overkilling weaponery. If this is what the navy feels like, then I am surprised. Comradery, a cruise to see the world and playing with billion-dollar equipment... Is it really like that on such a ship? I doubt it.
I wished to see more tech details and if getting philosophical: a more inside look into the hearts and souls of those (mostly) teenies on that ship. I find it rather unbelieveable and I can smell the censorship on every take of this movie. The footage itself is very nice.
Carrier - A look at Naval life in 21st Century July 5, 2008
This is a ten part view of what it is like to live on a Carrier in the 21st Century US Navy. there are happy and very sad times, but overall a balanced view of all the different personalities that are on a Carrier.

"CARRIER" WAS A FATHERS DAY GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND. HE WAS IN THE NAVY
50 YEARS AGO. HE WAS AMAZED OF THE CHANGES AND REALLY ENJOYED THE DVD
