  • Starring: Pierce Brosnan
  • Summary: Disneynature, the studio that presented the record-breaking film Earth, brings Oceans to the big screen on Earth Day, 2010.

Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud dive deep into the very waters that sustain all of mankind—exploring the playful splendor and the harsh reality of the weird and wonderful creatures that live within.

    Once Oceans' exhilarating visuals get going, it's easy to ignore the words. This really is a film that manages to show us things we've never seen and make what we have already seen look different and new.

    Perfect for families and exquisitely shot, this entry from the Disneynature division is even better and fresher than last year's "Earth."

    The film’s rigorous commitment to probing the undersea kingdom’s oddities separates it from the usual tepid Discovery Channel fare, and those looking for marine exotica and savagery will thrill to a sea slug that shimmies like a flamenco dancer and an orgiastic feeding frenzy involving dolphins, sharks and a school of sardines.

    Make sure they check your digital projector before you see it. I saw it last night and everything was pushed to the red. It can make for a poor viewing experience. I hope to see it again with the right colors... Should help get it a higher rating.… Expand

    While the visuals are stunning, the movie felt very disjointed. I felt that there was so much they could have done to make it feel more like a story about the ocean and all the creatures & magical things living within it, but instead, it felt like a sub-par nature show with fantastic images. SO much potential for a really great narrative with a meaningful takeaway message that was not anywhere close to being achieved.… Expand

    Poorly edited. Many repetitve scenes and other scenes that are truncated and miss the beauty of the event. Very slow with a tedious voice over. Preachy regarding the environmental point… Expand
