Shot in the ocean depth... read more read more...s off the coasts of Baja, the Caribbean, and North Carolina, Deep Sea depicts the complexity of the underwater ecosystem, as some sea creatures live in cooperation while others feed upon weaker species to survive. Filmmaker Howard Hall also focuses on the splendor of this world rarely seen by human eyes, photographing a number of rare species of fish, squids, manta rays, jellyfish, and other aquatic creatures, as well as offering a perspective on the environmental dangers that threaten the underwater community. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet provide narration for the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet narrate an documentary about the exploration of the deep sea.

    The only achievement from this film is proving that 3D actually works.

    Breaththaking and amazing! Sure, it's a little too short, but what it does show is nothing short of perfectly beautiful.

    Really interesting, and teaches a lot, and of course I had to see it, because Johnny Depp was the narrator. <3

    I thought it was disappointing. Too short and the naration was cheesy, as much as I like both Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. It looked very good though. It could have been so much better.

    I saw this movie at the Luxor in Las Vegas. You learned a lot about the sea but it was also scary when the sharks came up..LOL

One of the more solidly entertaining deep-sea documentaries filmed in IMAX.

If the typical IMAX offering has a handful of unforgettable shots, this one delivers about 50. Full Review

In sum: Many creatures are eaten, but this often-impressive movie left me hungry for more.

A vision of nature that even a strip miner would want to conserve. Full Review

Clocking in at 39 minutes, which may be about all the eyes can handle, Deep Sea 3D transports exotic sea species literally to our noses.

The entire film envelops you in an incredible array of fascinating sea life. The effect is continuous and so successful that you'll find yourself holding your breath. Full Review

Deep Sea 3D, like the excellent Sharks 3D, has a message about the importance of relationships under the sea and why humans should not upset the delicate balance of nature by depleting ocean species. Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday

Hall has chased down a gasp-provoking array of sea creatures that are so extravagantly extraterrestrial, nothing Steven Spielberg could conjure in his special effects labs could remotely compete. Full Review

The movie has little new to offer to conservation. Full Review

About as a good as the Imax 3-D experience gets. Full Review
