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.

 bad show-bad Navy October 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think this show limits itself mostly on people who don't have any sense of pride and self esteem.
I am very surprised that a show would be able to destroy the fascinating part of an Aircraft Carrier like this!!
I agree with others that there is far to much vulgar language used in the entire 10 episodes.
It starts kind of interesting and than it seems like it is repeating itself over and over again.
Tragical for whoever thinks that the military is a "high school".
This is one of the worst shows there is out on the market.
I don't recommend this at all for nobody's sake.
Please stay away from this, it's totally not worth Your time and money.
 Excellent look at life on a carrier September 28, 2008

This was a great series. Let's you get to know about 10 different people from all ranks and job roles on the carrier. As the 10 shows progress, you get a real feel for how the 6 month cruise and life in the navy effects people differently.
They told many interesting back stories about people's lives before joining the Navy. Although lots of people on the show complained about their navy job (as many civilians also do), it seemed like the navy pulled many of these folks from messed up family and life situations and provided needed structure.
I was never in the service, but this series made you feel like you had some sense of what it might be like to serve.
This film deepened my appreciation to those who serve and protect in uniform.
Thanks to all the vets who make sacrifices to keep us free.

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.

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.
