Movie Info
Winged Migration co-directors Jacques Cluzaud and Jacques Perrin re-team for this documentary produced for Walt Disney Studios' Disneynature banner and exploring the many mysteries of our planet's oceans. Almost three-quarters of the earth's surface is covered by oceans, yet strangely we seem to know more about deep space than the world of the sea. There's no question that the ocean has played a crucial role in the history and sustenance of humankind, but what secrets does the underwater world

Visually [it's] quite seductive.
Top CriticOh, it's amazing.
Its visual splendor more than makes up for its intellectual poverty.
There are life-and-death dramas, moments of playfulness and tenderness, which create an ever-increasing sense of wonder.
Horseshoe crabs scuttle like possessed Nazi helmets and a school of fish morphs from dreidel to disco ball, as if choreographed by Busby Berkeley.
Oceans is more of a random collection of images from the deep. But, boy, what images.
Oceans contains some of the most beautiful imagery ever seen in a feature-length documentary.
New technology has helped these filmmakers to build new tools for underwater cinematography that enables them to be more flexible, faster in the water, which is how they captured profile footage of dolphins speeding through the water, for example
Enthralling, enlightening, meditative and often humorous, this is a wonderful documentary about the oceans and those who live within it
A visually stunning plunge into the life aquatic; shame about the narration.
Compactly profound, appropriately humbling, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Where's SpongeBob SquarePants when you really need him?
If the film does have a standout quality, it would be its meditativeness.
Oceans is bound to be a big hit among children, stoners, stoners' children, spinster stoners, and anyone that enjoy movies with immersive photography and intricate sound design.
Stunning images of some of the most breathtaking and fascinatingly odd creatures of the sea. No cute story added, or needed.
a beautiful--at times breathtaking--visual examination of the undersea world
Fantastic creatures, fantastic photography
Oceans presents the superb underwater photography and cool critters we have come to love from the best nature documentaries.
Quite the beautiful picture to look at, but the person who swims with the Great White is totally insane.
Could the script have been less informative? Could it have been more soporifically read than Pierce Brosnan's rendition? I don't think so.
