The ocean has never been so boring before

I went to see the premier at the local 3D cinema. Ocean + 3D soundedlike it should be an amazing adventure. But reality was different - themovie is gray and repetitive, the water inhabitants shown are dull andtotally boring. The narration is targeted to children only (this isn'treally a big problem). I have seen 2D ocean documentaries that weretimes more enjoying. The animals presented in Oceanworld are mostly theregular ones you can think of - turtles (as the protagonist - the wholemovie is from the turtle's point of view), dolphins, seals, whales (afew kinds), sharks (also a few kinds), jellyfishes. When the movieended, it seemed to me everyone else had as much fun as I did - peoplesilently left the cinema, looking to the ground. A few funny momentsand the 3d images of dangerous animals you could otherwise see only 2dadd up to 3 stars - and that's how I am rating Oceanworld.

Best Animal Documentary since Winged Migration

The makers of this film clearly understood the message of WingedMigration and the penguin film that followed it. People like in depthfilms from the perspective of animals.So, rather than make yet another boring, copycat penguin film, theyfollowed the curious life of a pregnant sea turtle as it goes on aunique type of migration through the ocean, which includes a differentperspective on some of the animal villains of the penguin films.Visually, the film work is truly impressive and sometimes so vivid andcolorful you wonder if you're looking at a cartoon instead of reality.The narration is also a welcome change from the authoritarian, voice ofgod trying to add more meaning than needed.
