Otter 501

It's wonderful to get a fairly in-depth behind-the-scenes look at otter rescue & rehabilitation undertaken by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

It's a shame that the framing device & acting are so horribly weak as to leave this film unfit for viewing anyplace outside the aquarium itself.

Oceans

Filled wall-to-wall with breathtaking photography and amazing new sights, Oceans had me leaving the theater wanting to learn more.

Especially so, since the narration itself offers little in the way of details.

Sharks 3D

IN A WORLD where under-the-sea IMAX presentations seem to dominate, a new entry in the field must be extra special-- something this piece of detritus from Jean-Michel Cousteau is most certainly NOT.

The music is awful, the visuals muddy, the narration too sparse, AND in turtle-speak; I know the bar for IMAX films is kind of low, but this was just sad.
