Movie Reviews of IMAX Presents - The Great Barrier Reef
Movie Review: Great showcase of poor diving, reef destruction by "experts", poor film work, and poor sound.
Summary: 1 Stars
The absolute worst reef documentary I've ever seen. As short as it is, a lot of time is wasted on silly pretentious landside footage. The main feature of the program is poorly lit underwater footage showcasing Ron and Valerie destroying coral and harassing marine life while exhibiting sloppy, careless diving skills. The university of Minnesota should be embarrassed to put their name on this. Unbelievable! To top it off, we're expected to sit through not one, but TWO obligatory "shark shock" scenes. During the stupid "shark shock," be sure to have the remote handy to turn the thundering noise down or brace yourself for a headache.
Summary of IMAX Presents - The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef unveils the most colorful and diverse undersea world ever seen. Viewers will be taken on a breathtaking journey through what is the largest coral reef system on the planet stretching over 1400 miles along the east coast of Australia. Experience the beauty of the reef while learning about its colorful and often dangerous inhabitants and their remarkable interrelationships. This spectacular IMAX? film will open an unparalleled window on this beautiful and fragile world.System Requirements:Running Time: 39 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST Rating:?NR UPC:?063390097708 Manufacturer No:?SDVD9770Mysterious and only superficially explored by generations of the native Aborigines, Australia's Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's most extraordinary natural life systems. Twelve hundred miles long and made up of coral, it is the Earth's largest structure built by living things, in some places extending 120?miles into the sea. So many varieties of life call the reef home that more than a dozen species can be found within any square meter of its surface. This IMAX film brilliantly captures the visual splendor of this environment with splendid underwater photography typical of the format. Sharks, sea turtles, anemones, and the coral itself are the living subjects of the camera's probing eye. Overall, this documentary is a comprehensive look at this long-studied web of life that leaves a lasting impression of its depth and beauty. --Ed Noble
