What a beautiful movie!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Excellent but underrated film

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Outstanding cinematography. Outstanding narration. Outstanding research and storytelling.If this level of compelling and passionate documentary doesn't have an effect on our attitude towards the utter essentialness of the well-being of our oceans, then I fear nothing ever will. This should be compulsory viewing for all students everywhere, lest the next generation follows in the current generation's attitude of unforgivable nonchalance towards our planet's health and astonishing biodiversity.

This series explores, with stunning video footage, the range of underwater habitats that make up our fragile blue planet. Despite making up 70% of the Earth our oceans are still poorly understood. David Attenborough and his BBC team do an excellent job of educating us about the interactions that are taking place in the depths of the oceans and in the shallows of coral reefs. The final episode should be required viewing for everyone. It tells of the immediate issues that need to be addressed if we are to restore the health of the oceans. A place that provides over half the oxygen that we breathe has to be a top priority. David Attenborough tells us how we all can help. There is no time to waste - reduce your carbon dioxide output to cut back on global warming and ocean acidification and use less plastic which has proved a major hazard to ocean life.

The cheesy fake soundtrack effects almost ruins this otherwise excellent documentary.If this show (minus soundtrack effects) was a tasteful Victorian dinning room with a single fresh flower on the table. The soundtrack effects are equal to a bunch of fake plastic flowers all over the place turning an otherwise tasteful Victorian dinning room into a very cheesy environment.A shame this show could have been a 10

Anyone who saw the first installment remembers the feeling of awe they had, listening to David telling us of the Deep Blue. Somehow they have outdone this. The mysteries of the ocean are unveiled in this masterpiece of film in which I feel is an unparalleled feat of modern cinematography. Can give it no higher praise, an educational delight and simply unmissable.
