Lots of very pretty images with lots of dazzling colors. There is also an element of science. The trouble is, science and environmentalism don't mix that well.
05/12/04
The panoramic views of various island locations are, of course, gorgeous, and inspire a kind of giddy vertigo.
03/26/04
You won't find Nemo. But you'll find zillions of other creatures amazing in their color, fragility and rarity.
03/22/04
Overall, the producers do a nice job balancing beautiful scenery with a serious message.

Top CriticA truly magical experience, Coral Reef Adventure entices us deep into the ocean’s wonderland, dazzling us by the wonders of life beneath the surface.
02/24/04
Part amusement park ride, part public service announcement, Coral Reef Adventure is most effective when doing what Imax movies do best: transporting audiences to unusual places they might not otherwise visit.
01/30/04
Top CriticRemarkable undersea footage, most of it starring fish and coral so unusually shaped and brightly colored that one has to remind oneself that they're real.
01/28/04
Perfectly balances entertainment and nature-science elements in its brisk and sometimes thrilling 46 minutes.
10/17/03
Explores coral reefs around the Pacific Ocean with a dazzling and sometimes irritating variety of computer graphics, brilliant nature photography and jarring sound effects straight out of Finding Nemo.

Can be enjoyed simply as a spectacular South Seas travelogue with superb underwater footage. Its environmental warnings are an added and important bonus.
06/07/03
As beautiful as it often is to watch, Coral Reef Adventure ultimately comes off as a bit too kid-friendly and faux-inspirational, which is kind of a drag.
06/07/03
We learn a lot about dying coral and see a lot of life on the reef.
06/06/03
The film favors the scientific over the spectacular (visually speaking).
05/31/03
Coral Reef Adventure is a heavyweight film that fights a good fight on behalf of the world's endangered reefs -- and it lets the pictures do the punching.
03/24/03
The large-frame IMAX camera lends itself beautifully to filming the teeming life on the reefs, making this gorgeous film a must for everyone from junior scientists to grown-up fish lovers.
03/07/03
Color, musical bounce and warm seas lapping on island shores. And just enough science to send you home thinking.
02/27/03
A film for all who care about the world their children and grandchildren will inherit.
