OCEAN WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH takes viewers on a breathtaking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean. The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing. Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard A gorgeously-shot film that celebrates the unique beauty and diversity that comes from dipping our heads beneath the surface of the water -- while also addressing the state of the world’s seas. It’s dire. Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Attenborough matches the natural world’s grandeur with his own intellectual and moral seriousness. Rated: 5/5 May 7, 2025 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Age has done little to quell the [David Attenborough's] intellectual curiosity and childlike wonder for what he terms the “greatest age of ocean discovery”.Ardent lovers may well wish for someone to look at them the way Attenborough looks at giant kelp... Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2025 Full Review Adam Miller metro.co.uk It’s hard to imagine watching the credits roll and not being deeply affected by Ocean for a long time. It’s as beautiful at times as it is stark in others, and yes, there is the promise of hope that all is not a lost cause. May 8, 2025 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com It’ll be hard for even the coldest enviro-skeptic not to respond to Attenborough’s trademark passion and intelligence as he gently argues for preservation. Rated: 3.5/5 May 8, 2025 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman ...an epic documentary that simultaneously extols the wonders of the ocean and underscores the urgent action required to protect it.
