A must see 3d lovers!
I owned a copy of this a long time ago actually, what is this? I remember I'm not watching it. And there was a worker that came to my home and decided that he wanted to sit down and watch It as well. It os beautiful, it prompted him to buy a 3d tv. My son recently got a three d projector so I gave him this mine. This is a replacement, it's the most beautiful thing ever. I enjoyed it immensely.

Great Documentary - Great Music!
My kids first saw this in IMAX. They all (4) own a copy and have watched it dozens of times. It's a beautifly photographed video - Meryl Streep is the narrator. THE BEST PART IS - all the music was written by and performed by - STING! Some of his best music ever.

Stunning
I'm fairly new to the 3D Blu-ray world, so I'm just starting to see the difference between cheaply-made 3D movies and high-quality 3D movies. I have to say, IMAX Deep Sea looked very very good. The 3D aspect adds to much depth to the screen. There was a good amount of images that "come out of the screen", but not an overwhelming amount. The "story" itself is good as they cover a wide variety of deep sea animals. Narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, they give the documentary a soothing, professional feel. I haven't watch any of the other IMAX 3D Blu-rays, but I must say, this one was stunning for the price and quality. I say go for it.

Wonderful Viewing, but Terrible Narration
This DVD features a wide variety of sea life including: jellyfish, starfish, coral life, strobing squid, sharks, sea turtles, sting rays -even a whale. My three-year old never gets tired of watching it; he loves the parts centered on the octopus the best.From an adult perspective, I am amazed at how many different species they show (beautiful footage), and it is very informative...great for family time, educating children/students, etc. I gave it five stars because we wanted a DVD that discusses sea creatures, and that is exactly what you get.HOWEVER, the narration was awful! We own and rent dozens of DVDs from Discovery, Animal Planet, and National Geographic, and this was the worst narration I have ever heard. I was surprised, but I guess Johnny Depp & Kate Winslet haven't had much experience with narration...although, I think the script was a big part of the problem (some lines are soooo cheesy).Also, I think the price is way too high for a forty-minute DVD...BUT, when I think about how much my son loves Deep Sea, it is worth the money. As I said, I gave it five stars because it does deliver the best sea creatures.

Great 3D, ok content, but too short
On my quest to find 3D content I decided to purchase this movie, being a fan of the ocean world I thought that this would be a fine addition to my growing 3D collection. I found the movie to be one of the best 3d tittles I've experienced so far, with solid 3D special effects and a strong enough content to keep you from complaining. My only issue arises with the length of the movie, it's simply too short for the amount of money spend on it. I do understand that it is a documentary and not a real movie, but just as you are starting to get more involved into the movie, the closing credits start to roll. Narration was kind of slow, could of been much better. But overall it's a solid 3D tittle to own.

Great 3D, Get Them Both!
We have never owned a 3D TV set before, so getting a 3D movie was the first on the list. We wanted to get something that can be shared with our friends and family members with less critical dialogues, so the full featured 3D movies were out for now. After a little bit of research, we found this title and its twin brother Under the Sea. We went back and forth to choose only one, but they both had great reviews. Finally, we decided to order both, the single disk versions, and we couldn't be happier. The picture and 3D look awesome on either disk, and since they are very short, you can easily watch them back-to-back. We also did demo the disks on some occasions for our guests, and they all liked them so far.Deep Sea is narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, and as other reviewers have mentioned, they did a better job than Jim Carry's voice in Under the Sea. However, both my wife and I liked the colors of Under the Sea better. Under the Sea is more colorful and the "Potato Cod" scene is just amazing in 3D.I think both Under the Sea and Deep Sea are great movies to have in your 3D collection. They are very short, only about 45 minutes each, so one may say price is a tad high on these titles; however, rest assured that you'll find more opportunities to watch and share these with your friends than the full length 3D movies. Besides, you can always get the single disk versions at a lower rate.

I always love anything about the Ocean!
This was a good movie but not great and not very long, but I got it for $5 so I was satisfied. I love watching documentaries!! Especially about the ocean but I thought this one offered nothing new. Can't remember the year this came out so maybe it was one of the first of its kind, but I'd like a little bit more information on each sea creature than this doc offered. Yet again when these movies are offered at a decent price they are worth watching.

An ABSOLUTE must!
While nothing compares to seeing this on the IMAX screen, this DVD is the next best thing. It will simply blow you away! The undersea colors and sounds are amazing. I didn't think of the creatures under the ocean as making sounds like animals on land do, but they do! I learned so much about undersea life, all in a context that was not just educational, but often amusing. Danny Elfman's sound track makes it all the more enjoyable - the man is a genius. The naration by Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp is perfectly adapted to what you're being shown. Fantastic for ALL ages!!!
