I felt this documentary about the Living Organisms of the Ocean was sloppy and rushed. There was some good footage but nothing earth shattering. Kate Nelligan was just OK as narrator. She had no pizazz. She was monotone and basically just going through the motions. Pardon the pun. The movie was short , only 35 minutes. It was just a lackadaisical effort . Seems like any amateur could get the footage that the makers of this documentary were able to get. I also felt the music was unnecessary. I love new age music , don't get me wrong , but I would have much rather have heard more of the natural sounds coming from the ocean. I am glad they mentioned something about some of the ocean plants that strive . Some of the facts about these plants were satisfying to hear. Still I can not give this movie any kind of kudos. I was simply; Very disappointed in this effort and would certainly not recommend this to others.

Since there is no message board for this documentary I had to post a comment. Anyway, I thought this documentary was pretty good. I enjoyed the filming since it brought out the vibrant colors of the ocean and the marine life, and I did learn some things I didn't know before. However, I do wish the film was longer and I would have been better if it went into more detail and touched more on the lives of a wider variety of ocean life. So for a documentary it wasn't what one would expect, and in comparison to other documentaries about the sea and it's creatures I have seen it is rather weak. However, I wouldn't say it is awful or not worth seeing. It just could have been better, I think I may have enjoyed it more if I actually saw it in an IMAX theater how it was intended.

I don't know what film some of the other reviewers have seen, but I've been to multiple IMAX theatres just to see "Into The Deep." The 3-D effects are excellent, as is the footage and the narration. You'd never think watching the short, happy lives of squid, waving kelp forests, or plankton floating by your eyes would be quite so mesmerising---but the filmmakers really pull it off. 9/10.

At first it looks like an underwater IMAX 3-D film, but then it turns into something awful! Though it is in 3-D, the picture quality (as in 3-D quality too) is kinda bad. The whole movie starts out good (C+ average) and then just flops by stuff an average person won't know by time they die! If you like all IMAX 3-D films go and see it. If you don't then don't waste your $7 on it.Grade Average: D+
