A documentary film featuring images of creatures in or around the oceans of the world. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan, who does a fantastic job, this film has short segments that focus on specific species and their habits. Without a connective narrative the film was disjointed and I found my mind wondering and I checked twice to see how much of the film remained. There are some stunning visuals that may entertain someone who loves ocean life and for those people I would recommend a viewing of this movie.

Solid nature footage with a sweet Pierce Brosnan narration but unfortunately there are so many of these nature docs these days, it is harder to stand out.

I love Disney, and nature documentaries so I thought I was gonna love it, but this film really didn't do it for me. Bizarre story line, mediocre commentary but beautiful shots.

This mealtime footage of prey and predators isn't just remarkable, it's simply breathtaking, and it's only one moment of many that had me holding my breath in wonder.
