Reviews for Deep Sea (IMAX)
Top Critic4 starsYou can just sink into "Deep Sea 3D," a lovely, lush experience that, believe it or not, blends the grandeur of the deep with the violence of nature and the sad state in which humans have left the oceans.

No matter who's talking, the audience's attention will be on the images wrapping themselves around them.

Top CriticForget haunted houses and the mountains of the moon: There's no better environment to show off the wonder of the immersive IMAX 3-D experience than the deep blue sea.

Deep Sea 3D really is a marvel of filmmaking.
03/03/06
One of the more solidly entertaining deep-sea documentaries filmed in IMAX.
03/03/06
If the typical IMAX offering has a handful of unforgettable shots, this one delivers about 50.

Deep Sea 3D doesn't go any deeper than the ocean floor . . . but that's pretty deep.
03/03/06
In sum: Many creatures are eaten, but this often-impressive movie left me hungry for more.
03/03/06
A vision of nature that even a strip miner would want to conserve.

Take the plunge. This is one instance where it's totally delightful to feel like you're swimming with sharks.

IMAX movies, especially in 3-D, are well suited to take you to another world... and what a world it is.
