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.

4 starsYou can just sink into "Deep Sea 3D," a lovely, lush experience that, believe it or not, blends the grandeur of the deep with the violence of nature and the sad state in which humans have left the oceans.

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

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.

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.

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.

And so it goes, for a magical 40 minutes: underwater footage often startlingly beautiful, made more so by the immediacy of 3D.

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.

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

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

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