Exploring the reefs throughout the... The wondrous denizens of the diverse marine habitat known as a coral reef are the subject matter of Howard Hill's DEEP SEA 3-D (originally an IMAX presentation). Exploring the reefs throughout the Pacific, Hill's cameras capture a rare close-up glimpse of turtles, shrimp, scallops, sharks, eels, starfish, jellyfish, octopuses, and much more. Thematically, the film examines the balance of life and symbiosis between these creatures. There are the hunters and the hunted, yet there is always another species that keeps the hunters in check, too. Similarly, some species of smaller fish eat by feeding on sea material that collects on some larger fish, which also cleans the larger fish's scales. The continued and necessary persistence of this activity is quite important to the collective survival of the animals, the reef and, indeed, all of humanity. Narrated almost conversationally by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, DEEP SEA 3-D is a thrilling, intimate, and educational look at the unknown depths of the world underwater; enjoyable for kids and adults of any age.

Deep Sea doesn't take any chances, doesn't tell you anything you don't know and doesn't do anything to allay my fear that IMAX movies are running out of stories to tell.

Director-lenser Howard Hall's return to the depths should have been more urgent than Into the Deep, but instead, it's more superficial.

When the photography is this gorgeous and the 3-D is this impressive, you can overlook the overly loose structure.

The Halls have taken an artistic leap beyond their masterful Coral Reef Adventure (2003), stripping away much of the narrative thread and allowing the film to drift to and fro on currents of sheer beauty.

Deep Sea easily ends up one of the best times I've ever had inside an Imax theater.

Take the plunge. This is one instance where it's totally delightful to feel like you're swimming with sharks.

IMAX movies, especially in 3-D, are well suited to take you to another world... and what a world it is.

Fancy a spot of scuba diving? Without getting wet? And in the company of Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet?

Hall has chased down a gasp-provoking array of sea creatures that are so extravagantly extraterrestrial, nothing Steven Spielberg could conjure in his special effects labs could remotely compete.

Deep Sea 3D doesn't go any deeper than the ocean floor . . . but that's pretty deep.

After being in something of a rut for a while, the IMAX 3-D format is back at the top of its game with this fascinating tour of the world’s oceans and the bizarre, alien-looking life forms found there.

If the typical IMAX offering has a handful of unforgettable shots, this one delivers about 50.

Forget haunted houses and the mountains of the moon: There's no better environment to show off the wonder of the immersive IMAX 3-D experience than the deep blue sea.

The entire film envelops you in an incredible array of fascinating sea life. The effect is continuous and so successful that you'll find yourself holding your breath.
