The Living Sea celebrates the beauty and power of the ocean as it explores our relationship with this complex and fragile environment. Using beautiful images of unspoiled healthy waters, The Living Sea offers hope for recovery engendered by productive scientific efforts. Oceanographers studying humpback whales, jellyfish, and deep-sea life show us that the more we understand the ocean and its inhabitants, the more we will know how to protect them. The film also highlights the Central Pacific islands of Palau, one of the most spectacular underwater habitats in the world, to show the beauty and potential of a healthy ocean.

Creator of the Universe has done excellent job by creating Air, Land,and Water... and all the creatures inside them...There is nothing like Water...It is very peaceful and silent inside Water and In Air...I doubt that those who swims in open waters can understand anythingabout politics and manipulation on the Land...How would a Human feel, if Sun makes noise and Water makes noise likeHuman Vocal Cord every minute...We know more about Outer Space than about our oceans today...This movie is something to experience again and again...Movies like these makes life very beautiful, desirable, and enjoyable...Lucky are those who experience IMAX every month...Rest are just laboring for nothing...wasting their precious time talkingnonsense....Nature is truly beautiful... and we ( small object ) exist and walk onEarth ( Large Object )...and yet we fail to notice that Earth will behere.. but we will be gone momentarily....Thanks and Regards.Sam RupaniHouston, Texas, United States of Ameri

The Living Sea is a movie that can make you understand how we fit with the ocean ecosystem. I like the underwater scenery the best, because it almost feel you are swimming with the fishes. I saw this movie in Hawaii in 1997 at Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. It was a nice companion piece to my travel on the island.

I've only ever seen 3 IMAX films and this is one of them. I was totally blown away by the incredible sound and photography. I had to study every shot because there is so much in it.It's not actually a movie like other IMAX films (such as Across the Sea of Time and T-Rex) but more of a documentary about how we are all islanders and how we live because the sea lives. It was surprisingly effective in this sense. My fave part was the discovery of the new underwater fish and the fish that had, what looked like, thousands of little lights flashing on and off.A scene with a boat fighting waves and crashing back down onto the sea was better than anything in The Perfect Storm. The sound in this particular scene is IN-CRED-IBLE.Whenever you pass by an IMAX check to see whether or not they are showing this masterpiece. You'll love it.

This IMAX film is a breathtaking look at the workings of the world's oceans and its inhabitants. Magnificent cinematography makes this film an awesome sight on the giant screen. The magic is lost on video, however. But it is nevertheless an informative and beautifully filmed documentary. Also check out the great soft jazz/new age/pop soundtrack by Sting.
