"Into the Deep" is an Imax film documenting the life about fish and other sea creatures.It's an Imax film, so it's shown on a really big screen. This helps the viewer feel like they are right there, when the camera gives us a view of the water level.Then it focuses on the life of fish and other sea creatures. For example, did you know that Lobsters and other crustaceans have to break out of their shells and get new ones. Of course you knew that Hermit Crabs do it, but did you ever expect lobsters? Don't forget how weird and cool the Starcastic Fringeheads are.I'm not sure how much the admission is to get into the Imax theater, but this may be worth it. It's a whole lot better then the other Imax film: "T-Rex: Back to the Creustaceous." Feel free to send me a Private Message regarding this comment.

Since there is no message board for this documentary I had to post a comment. Anyway, I thought this documentary was pretty good. I enjoyed the filming since it brought out the vibrant colors of the ocean and the marine life, and I did learn some things I didn't know before. However, I do wish the film was longer and I would have been better if it went into more detail and touched more on the lives of a wider variety of ocean life. So for a documentary it wasn't what one would expect, and in comparison to other documentaries about the sea and it's creatures I have seen it is rather weak. However, I wouldn't say it is awful or not worth seeing. It just could have been better, I think I may have enjoyed it more if I actually saw it in an IMAX theater how it was intended.

I'm definitely at odds with the other 30 reviewers, all male, who weighted this film's rating to a 4.9 to date. It's been several years since viewing, but I recall going back twice for the 3D sense it gave me of looking in on the lives of the "little" guys underwater. No, not terrifying great white sharks...the most "terrifying" scene is of a giant sun-fish sweeping down on other, tiny starfish, and their valiant attempts to flee. I laughed with the kids in the audience and put out my hand to "touch" the waving kelp that appeared to be just in front of my neighbour's head.Of course, if years of Hollywood blockbusters has conditioned you to want big thunder and big blood, and you really can't stomach small wonders, don't bother with this...it's not for you. It's for kids at heart.

At first it looks like an underwater IMAX 3-D film, but then it turns into something awful! Though it is in 3-D, the picture quality (as in 3-D quality too) is kinda bad. The whole movie starts out good (C+ average) and then just flops by stuff an average person won't know by time they die! If you like all IMAX 3-D films go and see it. If you don't then don't waste your $7 on it.Grade Average: D+
