BBC produced documentary focusing on the seas and oceans of the globe. Light on narration (Michael Gambon does the British version Pierce Brosnan the US one) and heavy on visuals this is an often beautiful film to look at. I can only imagine how this film would have played on the big screen. I picked this up since it was recommended in connection with the BBC film Earth that knocked my socks off a few months back. As amazing as the film is I found it at times a bit too much of a good thing. There is too much slow motion at times and while I understand that fish travel in schools there is to many shots of the swarming schools for my complete enjoyment. I think seeing the film in relative close proximity to a repeat viewing of Earth hurt my enjoyment since a couple of the sequences came off as very similar. Reservations aside this is a film that demand to be seen on as big a screen as possible because there are things in the film that will make you ooh and ah.. Worth a look.
