The footage is spectacular, the colors electric, the life aquatic trippier than anything you'll see in even the most wildly imaginative animated fare.

Top CriticIt's impossible not to be wowed by some of the images in Under the Sea 3D, the coolest of which are a nice reminder that, even in the age of CG wizardry, the best special effects still come straight from Mother Nature.

Top CriticEven about halfway in, even having settled into your seat with those plastic glasses nestled on your nose, you'll still find yourself dazzled again and again by the impossibly breathtaking beauty of the IMAX adventure Under the Sea 3D.
02/13/09
Top CriticThe plot may not be much -- amazing creatures live in the sea and if we keep polluting the world a bunch of them will die, so let's stop being such jerks -- but the visuals are absolutely fantastic.
02/13/09
Top CriticIf you’re not taking the family on an exotic beach vacation anytime soon, consider this a reasonable alternative.
02/13/09
Top CriticThe 3-D effects are uncanny; much of the audience ducked when sea snakes lunged at it. You can't get that on your TV set. Yet.
02/13/09
Top CriticOceanic movies in actual science museums are far more interesting and nuanced than this documentary -- not to mention the wildly popular Planet Earth series, which even in 2-D looks better.
02/13/09
Top CriticAs intimate and enjoyable as anything Imax has done in 3-D.
02/13/09
Top CriticThis is the fourth Imax underwater excursion, and the second in 3-D, and it may just be the best yet.
02/13/09
Top CriticUnder the Sea 3D is one of the best of the genre. If it doesn't serve oysters, per se, this submarine wonder offers marvels in abundance.
02/13/09
Top CriticThe images are impressive, and include shots of some cuttlefish 'hey-hey' cleverly set to the song Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps (the theme song for the Britcom Coupling).
02/13/09
Top CriticNo computer-designed animatronic invention can begin to match the beauty and grace of the oceanic life photographed in Under the Sea 3D.
02/13/09
Top CriticHere to inspire awe and depression with a vast universe of marine life that, barring possible ecological disaster, will be here eons after we're gone.
02/12/09
Top CriticThe tone is optimistic that these amazing creatures can be saved, and the message that the ocean ecology is worth preserving is delivered without preaching.
02/12/09
Top CriticAfter 40 minutes behind 3-D glasses watching rare aquatic creatures, why bother with airline tickets and scuba gear?
02/12/09
Top CriticGorgeous, informative and as gripping as a shark's jaws.
