And so it goes, for a magical 40 minutes: underwater footage often startlingly beautiful, made more so by the immediacy of 3D.

Rated: 3.5/4

Deep Sea allows us landlubbers a glimpse of a world few humans ever see. If you're as fascinated by undersea life as I am, Deep Sea is the show for you.

4 starsYou can just sink into "Deep Sea 3D," a lovely, lush experience that, believe it or not, blends the grandeur of the deep with the violence of nature and the sad state in which humans have left the oceans.

Rated: 4/4

This is a good documentary and the shots and coverage of the deep ocean is quite pleasing(and harrowing in places). However, with the advent of instant access to so much content, there isn't anything here that you won't find in better resolution on Netflix or Amazon. Still, if you enjoy documentaries or have even the slightest of fascination with sea life I feel you can spend an hour and some time with Deep Sea.

IMAX 3D is the only format I know that can make the deep blue sea(real sea's, not animated seas) look stunning to everyone. Review by Logan Cornn.

Would you believe me if I said I actually saw this? Interesting, but only worth it on the IMAX screen.
