Just perfect...

A Disappointing Continuation

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

"The Living Sea" is an IMAX documentary from over 20 years ago and the title tells you what this is about: water. IMAX has a tendency to be frequently only visually convincing and not thematically and this one here is not even the former. The film is packed with phrases such as if we want to save the environment, we need to understand it, but there is little substance beyond that. Apart from that, I think Meryl Streep is a great actress, but not a great narrator. And I always find it irritating if they use 2 people, a star and a non-famous person, to narrate these movies, especially when they don't even go for 40 minutes. Admittedly, the subject here (sea/water) is a very general one which makes it a tough challenge to make a film with focus on that issue, but with the money they had available for this one here, I still expected something better. Not recommended.

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

A fascinating look at how the oceans of the world impact the Earth. Facts like "70% of the Earth's oxygen comes from ocean plants." Great soundtrack from sting that compliments the film and each story. While not as impressive watching it at home as it is in an IMAX theater, it is still well worth a look at.

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.
