      Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press There's ... a fair amount of dopey rehearsed-sounding dialogue along the lines of, "You're never as real as when you might die." Whatevs. Rated: 2/4 Jan 12, 2012 Full Review Linda Cook KWQC-TV (Iowa) You don't need filmmaker James Cameron to develop a truly riveting underwater adventure. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 12, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member A very good demonstration of 3D and a fascinating look at the stunning natural beauty of Tahiti. If it had been 45 minutes of surfing it would have quickly become tedious, but Stephen Low explores the science of waves, how volcanic eruptions have created the beauty of Tahiti 's fauna and flora, and why it's such a romantic destination. The perfect curtain-raiser for a viewing of Disney's marvellous Moana. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An amazing insight into Tahiti and the surfers who come to ride the waves. Also being IMAX 3D helped a bit... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful underwater and Tahiti scenes Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Accept no substitute, IMAX Dome Screen makes this movie awesome, awesome, awesome. Dude... as close to Teahupo'o as you can get without paddling out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful Tahiti and the power of one of the heaviest waves in the world-Teahupoo. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Fast paced, always interesting and thoroughly absorbing, I learnt about the culture of French Polynesia and saw the skills of these highly talented people who make surfing look easy. Beautiful and creative camera shots packed with mouth watering 3D, the angles are mind bending, this short film looks spectacular. I had water pouring out my TV along with giant waves splashing onto my 3D glasses, and boat parts literally poke through the screen. The narration is great, everything about this adventure is immersive and enjoyable, totally worth whatever you pay. Plus it is hands down the best 3D documentary out there.
