Mr XXX Right from the start, you'll be immersed and transferred immediately into the breathtaking underwater world. The story starts with the narration of a sea turtle named Aris, as he guides you throughout the entire movie with his informative and sometimes cheeky comments.This 3D movie lets you experience what a sea creature, in this case, a sea turtle, see and feel when they're in their underwater habitat. In 3D, the visual is absolutely stunning. The sand tiger sharks, the silver-tipped sharks, hammerheads, great whites and the gigantic whale shark all have a field day by swimming right in front of you, poking their snouts off the screen every now and then, for the signature "screen piercing" effects.Then of course, there are the other "supporting casts", like the playful seals, the intelligent dolphins, and other ocean fishes like sardines and remoras.There's one gripe though, the projected 3D visual in this session (a media preview) was a bit misaligned, thus creating "double vision" effect for most parts of the movie, and for example, whenever a shark or a fish comes right through the screen towards you, you will have a very hard time focusing on it, which in turn creates a "double vision" and a strain to your vision. I sincerely believe that this was a technical oversight by the local IMAX staff and I hope that this "misalignment error" will be corrected for the screening proper, as what the filmmaker had intended it to be.Not bad for an underwater documentary featuring sharks. The greatest asset here is of course the magnificent 3D imagery and the educational factors that this film has brought about to the viewers. This is a must-see for sea creature lovers. If not for the slight "misalignment" technical error, this movie will have a much better impact.

thejamestullyfanclub I saw this film at The Manchester IMAX the other day and was blown away by it. I thought it might have been a bit basic for a shark fan, but it was full of great information. The underwater footage was simply astounding and it really looked like you could reach out and grab the sharks! Jean-Michel Coustaeu was a great presenter, just like his Dad. He was really good at getting across the facts in a fun way - great for kids & not too condescending for adults. If you have kids then take them to see it as the whole family will enjoy it.It was good to see some of the other animals of the sea as well. The Sharks interaction with the Dolphins was particularly fascinating. Recommended for all Shark lovers, families and people amazed by the unknown.

krasher78 After reading the previous comment that was posted I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this film, but being a fan of both Jacques and Jean-Michel Cousteau's work since I was a little girl I felt that it would be worth seeing. I am so glad that I did! The turtle doesn't talk, the narrator provides the information from the perspective of a sea turtle. The previous comment made me think that there was turtle that was edited to appear as if it were talking. There was great footage of sharks, rays and many other specimens of ocean life. Yes this does include sea lions and dolphins, but it did so to show how sharks co-exist with other animals, and show that they are not like the famous shark in Jaws. It a good job of showing different species of sharks which need our help if they are to escape extinction. It works to get people interested in learning more about sharks so that they will want to learn more!

ian_wil40 This film is really meant for kids i think. A talking turtle? That did not work for me, the voice acting was relatively bad.But some of the movie scenes make up for the bad voice acting. for instance with the schools of fish that was amazing because it felt like your were swimming with them. The director seemed like he wanted to focus on what would look cool in 3d, like the 5 minute fillers of sea lions just swimming. The writing was bad too. The turtles jokes were just plain stupid. I certainly did not feel what this film intended...to be enlightened about sharks. It was just plain and dull like any other 3-d and or IMAX movie. I think if IMAX is to become a big thing in the future it should make better movies.
