Reviews for Coral Reef Adventure (IMAX)
A moving and not infrequently breathtaking film.
02/20/03
Perfectly balances entertainment and nature-science elements in its brisk and sometimes thrilling 46 minutes.
10/17/03
We learn a lot about dying coral and see a lot of life on the reef.
06/06/03
Remarkable 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
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
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.
10/03/03
The panoramic views of various island locations are, of course, gorgeous, and inspire a kind of giddy vertigo.
03/26/04
Overall, the producers do a nice job balancing beautiful scenery with a serious message.

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
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.

Top CriticPart 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.

[Fiji diver Rusi Vulakoro and the married couple Howard and Michelle Hall] show us the world they love and make us love it, too.

You won't find Nemo. But you'll find zillions of other creatures amazing in their color, fragility and rarity.

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.

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.
