Steven Rea

Philadelphia Inquirer

The footage is spectacular, the colors electric, the life aquatic trippier than anything you'll see in even the most wildly imaginative animated fare.

Rated: 3/4

Slant Magazine

Strictly fodder for the preteen set, Under the Sea 3D, the latest IMAX deep-sea-dive exploration (brought to you by the fisheye's point of view), is expectedly rudimentary but a splendor to watch.

Rated: 3/4

Entertainment Weekly

It's impossible not to be wowed by some of the images in Under the Sea 3D,  the coolest of which are a nice  reminder that, even in the age of CG wizardry, the best special effects still come straight from Mother Nature.

Rated: B

Gone With The Twins

It's hard to deny the entertainment value of seeing rare monstrosities jumping out of the screen and scurrying about at what feels like an arm's length away.

Rated: 7/10

The Oklahoman

The film offers one of the best and most organic uses of new, more advanced 3-D technology. Grown-ups and youngsters alike will try to knock away the banded sea snakes writhing toward them.

Rated: 3.5/4

Jim Carrey doesn't believe in vaccinations. Listening to his voice is painful.

It might have been better than 3 stars, but I fell asleep in the middle. Really nicely shot from what I saw, but nothing you haven't seen before if you like nature doco's. I found the american voiceover irritating, but that might just be because my subconscious was expecting David Attenborough.

Under the Sea is just another impressive entry of documentary in IMAX 3D. The colors of the underworld ocean of the Pacific really enhances our ocean imagination to the next level. This is a must watch for every family even in Blu-Ray. I would definitely buy one.

its was ok. a lot of good shots of under the sea but it would slowly slip into propaganda like humans are destroying the sea because of global warming or now days they call it climate change 30 years ago it was global cooling.
