An amazing story and a really well done documentary. The story is told in a really fantastic manner, with both real footage and some dramatizations, with the actual crew members involved in the saturation diving incident.
It really keeps you in the moment and involved the story. Providing thorough descriptions of the event with first hand accounts.

Incredible Documentary
a warning
I will be short on this review, just to tell that this is in fact more or less identical to the plot of the norwegian film''dykket''(the dive) , that were produced sometimes in the 80's, with among others Bjørn Floberg in a lead role.
But this is not fiction, its pure raw material of photographic evidence of the situation /incident at the sea bottom of the north sea. Its just amazing, and to all of you out there, having any medical issues with or connected to your lung functions, you might choke yourself to death watching this. I myself lying on the sofa breathing at the pace of a bluewhale due to the developing elements of this docu, so my wife had to check what i was watching so heavybreathingly....
this is a must see, if you like the dive in, i , the grumpy old man ,still alive, prefer to be the bell boy at the nekt sat dive....
An intimate portrait of life beyond support
On one hand, 'Last Breath' tells an amazing story, but also a hundrum one. Deep sea diving is usually safe, but (not unlike walking on the moon) when things go wrong, there's no way back. But this film tells of an ultimately happy story when a diver, who might have been assumed to be as good as dead, was somehow recovered alive following a disastrous incident. What makes a movie out of these events is the universal truth that so much of our lives are caught on camera these days: there's some reconstruction in this documentary, but mostly original film, which creates a spooky intimacy between the viewer and the protagonists. As a story, it's ulimtately not that remarkable; but as insight into the psychology of diving, and our ultimate powerless in the absence of the technological support we are usually accumstomed to, it's quite compelling.
