IMAX: Deep Sea (Single-Disc Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray Combo)

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.

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.

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.

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.

I recently bought a 51" Samsung Plasma 3D TV (which is AWESOME) and a Sony 3D blu ray player (Wi Fi included so it's like having a smart tv too, also awesome) and this movie is fantastic!! I'm starting my 3D collection and have a bunch of Pixar animated 3D movies, but this is my first IMAX movie and it is incredible, you feel like you are underwater with the creatures!! I should mention if you're looking for a ocean movie with cute dolphins or sharks, this isn't it, this is more about sea monsters like squids that are very ugly and scary but still fascinating none the less. Might be too scary for young kids, but is a phenomenal movie experience and a MUST BUY!!

My ratings are based mainly on the QUALITY OF THE 3D, not the video content.In addition to the title scenes 5 more out of screen effects extend an impressive 50% of the way, from the screen to the viewer. Another 20 reached 25% or more and many are in the 5 to 10% range.EXCESS PARALLAX in a few of the scenes make it hard to mentally assemble the 3D.Far better than Wild Ocean in every respect*** Visually stunning sea floor & creature footage in crystal clear 3D ***MY 3D RATING = VERY GOOD (poor, fair, good, very good, excellent)Note: As far as the percentages go, everyone's eyes are different. What I see at 25% you may see at 15% or 35%. To fully realize how far something is out of the screen for you, pause on an effect and direct a partner with an extended finger to the tip of what you are seeing. You may be surprised.Click on `See all my reviews' for the lowdown on other 3Ds

I would really love to give this higher marks being as I am an avid 3d supporter/fan, However even though ghosting wasnt too frequent I got a case of tired eyes from this flick, ghosting was pronounced in a few instances as well but nothing that distracted for too long. It is hard for me to explain the issue I had with this film.. I could only describe this one as having hotspots on the outer edges of objects for quite some time. The picture was excellent in resolution and clarity with the exception of this weird effect I had from the 3d. maybe its because the strength of the 3d? I tried adjusting the 3d output strength to weaken it a bit but little help occured from this. I have noticed this effect more often in the earlier 3d bluray releases and its almost non existent in the later releases everything is crystal clear yet seems as though a haze effect is present and makes the eyes grow tired.Dont get me wrong, the movie was still a blast and at times things came out of the screen especially the scene with the grouper fish and kelp in the kelp forest.

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.

This is by far the best underwater film I have yet seen. Having watched dozens over the past few weeks, I thought I had seen some good ones, but this film sets new standards. The 3D is fantastic, with the clearest underwater images I have ever seen, and the filming in general is first class with wonderful, vibrant colors and amazing sequences.. I loved the sound track, and the narrators, I thought did a great job, with just the right amount of information and some humour.The content is fantastic - a whole array of fabulous creatures, many of which I have not even glimpsed on those other documentaries. Their feeding and defensive/evasive behaviour is shown like in no other documentary I have seen.I was totally mesmerised and enraptured by this brilliant production and cannot praise it highly enough.

Die Informationen zu den gezeigten Meerestieren fallen in dieser Dokumentation etwas dürftig aus im Gegensatz zu den sonst gewohnten Naturdoku's. Nichtsdestotrotz ist der Film trotzdem sehr informativ, denn die 3D Perpektive zeigt einem die gefilmten Tiere, wie man sie eigentlich selten oder gar nicht zu sehen bekommt, ausser man ist vielleicht Tiefseetaucher. Ein Wort beschreibt diese Dokumentation: Beeindruckend!

3Dテレビを購入したので評価の良かったこの作品を購入しました。素晴らしいのは他レビューで書いてた通りでしたが、自分は途中で飽きてしまい見るのを止めました。これからまだまだ素晴らしい3Dソフトが出てくれる事を願います!!海や海生物に興味がある人はお勧めでしょうね。

Ottimo documentario con immagini splendide,sembra di essere in un acquario,molto buono il 3d in profondita',gli effetti pop out non sono molti,ottimo da vedere in compagnia per far stupire gli amici con il 3d.

Excelente calidad de imagen y sonido en 3D, en 2D no lo vi pero supongo que tendrá muy buena calidad.
