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.

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

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

A vision of nature that even a strip miner would want to conserve.

Deep Sea 3D, like the excellent Sharks 3D, has a message about the importance of relationships under the sea and why humans should not upset the delicate balance of nature by depleting ocean species.

In sum: Many creatures are eaten, but this often-impressive movie left me hungry for more.

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

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

...an all-too-brief but fascinating look at some of our ocean's irreplaceable treasures.

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

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

There is no downtime in the production. You'll spend every moment oohing and aahing at the delicate balance of nature in the gently swaying deep sea.

Kids will shriek with awe and delight, and grown-ups might join them as they duck the luminous moon jellyfish and shimmering glassy minnows that swim past them in a myriad profusion.

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.

Clocking in at 39 minutes, which may be about all the eyes can handle, Deep Sea 3D transports exotic sea species literally to our noses.

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.
