Movie Reviews of The Living Sea (IMAX) (2-Disc WMVHD Edition)
Movie Review: Incredibly Moving
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally saw this IMAX movie in Hawaii, at the Polynesian Cultural Center 3 years ago...and bought the soundtrack, always hoping to get the DVD. Much to my amazement, the movie was included for my PC as one of the features for Windows XP. Anyway, the music, narration, and footage is breathtaking, I left the IMAX theatre feeling physically off-balance because of the motion of the seas and the ocean, and so moved by the magic of it all that I was teary-eyed the rest of the day. I ended up at Sunset Beach on Oahu's NOrth Shore that evening watching the sunset and had the beach to myself. It is one of those days that you will never forget in your lifetime, it is still so vivid, and watching this DVD brings every cell in me back to The Living Sea and the beaches of Hawaii. Absolutely moving and breathtaking...even when watching on the small screen vs. the IMAX screen. You will not be disappointed!Movie Review: A wonderful DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
IMAX does a beautiful job! If you scuba, you'll love watching this DVD!Movie Review: Not what I expected.
Summary: 3 Stars
The Living Sea is supposed to be one of the most important films on the vast blue realm, but it was a disappointment when I viewed it. It does not have very much sea footage. In fact, a single episode of Secrets of the Ocean Realm contains more underwater footage than this! If they wanted to stick a scene on the Coast Guard, surfers, or lore like that in the movie, the film should be called "View of the Coast Men", or "The Amazing Silver Surfers" instead of "The Living Sea." The title very much deceives a lover of the ocean. You expect it to document some battles between a Fringehead fish, or Hammerhead sharks, or anything, but basically all that is astounding about the sea in this movie is the swarm of jellyfish, which adds in another star out of two. Still not quite worth it. If you want a cool epic video truly on the ocean buy "The Blue Planet" series or "Secrets of the Ocean Realm" volumes. You have the right to disagree, but be assured that you WILL see better films.
Movie Review: A Must Have!!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best IMAX films that there is... watch it on DVD, big screen and surround sound to capture how great this film really is... I've been an avid diver for several years now and have dove Palau... the film really captures it.Movie Review: Deceptive Video Quality
Summary: 2 Stars
The subject and video scene compositions are interesting. The video quality is poor when moving fishes or shadows are displayed, jagged lines are seen as if resolution was only 240 lines instead of 480.This is quite a disappointment considering this is a production from the picture specialist IMAX. Comparatively, the movie Black Beauty offers a much better quality video with no jagged lines even when fast moving horses are shown.
I even returned the CD to Amazon.com, but got no reply...
