Justin Chang Variety 07/06/2010
Singlemindedly devoted to crushing the "Jaws"-fed perception of sharks as vicious man-eaters, "Sharks 3D" delivers a refreshingly benign and at times visually overwhelming take on a much-feared subject. Go to Full Review

3/4
Some of the photography is quite impressive. And the movie certainly doesn't have the 'fearsome denizen of the deep' tone usually found in movies about sharks. Go to Full Review

In this dazzling follow-up to Ocean Wonderland 3D, director Jean-Jacques Mantello gets you so close to these creatures you'll feel like fending them off with your hands. Go to Full Review

It's a spark of passion in an otherwise distracted feature -- an entertaining, enlightening picture, but not quite the sharkapalooza promised. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 27 Real footage in 42 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 02/15/2013 Videography was alright. I was expecting more information on the sharks about their behaviors and hunting methods but was severely let down. It seemed like a guilt trip about how they are endangered but it didn't explain why or how to make a difference. Why anyone would pay to see this when theirs WAY better shows on the discovery channel is beyond me. I was NOT impressed. See more 10/08/2012 Watched this with the family very cool and full of fun facts! See more 07/04/2012 Not the best, not the worst. Middle of the road and a bit cutesy. It made me miss diving sooooo much... See more 04/04/2012 This is a very child-friendly 45 minute 3-D movie on sharks and other sea life that is playing at Omni Theatre at New England Aquarium. I would recommend seeing this if you are on the waterfront with your kids. See more 05/19/2011 Well...I really wish they had shown more...violence. I mean, the music was incredible, I'll give it that, but the sharks weren't doing anything except swimming around. IMO, if you're going to do a movie in 3D, make it exciting & intense to watch. And the only sharks they showed were ones that "were not harmful to humans" or mothers-to-be. They filmed dolphins & sea lions too, & talked about them at the most random times. To sum it all up, I felt it was way too kid friendly. See more Read all reviews
