This film is lovely to look at and would make an ideal vehicle for introducing kids to the world of oceanography and marine biology.
...if you measure it in terms of the sheer beauty of its presentation, its value is probably incalculable.
The footage is spectacular, the colors electric, the life aquatic trippier than anything you'll see in even the most wildly imaginative animated fare.

While some of the content may go over younger viewers' heads, it introduces them to complex issues while entertaining them with footage of playful sea lions and slithering snakes that appear to swim right toward your face.
Under the Sea 3D offers a rare and gorgeous look at marine life from the heart of the Coral Triangle.
People of any age will be fascinated by the Imax documentary Under the Sea, a riveting look at submarine life around the coast of Australia. I've never experienced such good use of 3D.
It's impossible not to be wowed by some of the images in Under the Sea 3D,
the coolest of which are a nice
reminder that, even in the age of CG wizardry, the best special effects still come straight from Mother Nature.

Under the Sea 3D is a beautiful reminder that movies can take us to places we've never been before. There are still worlds to conquer out there that don't require the gussying up of CGI effects to hold our attention.
At times, the writing becomes a bit like a sermon about the woes of the oceans, but, in all honesty, I think we can't hear it enough that our environments are changing ----- and not for the better.
This incredibly ambitious undertaking could only be accomplished by people with a strong love of what they are doing, and patience to match.
A delightful, breathtaking, lively and gently illuminating documentary that must be experienced on a giant IMAX screen.
Even about halfway in, even having settled into your seat with those plastic glasses nestled on your nose, you'll still find yourself dazzled again and again by the impossibly breathtaking beauty of the IMAX adventure Under the Sea 3D.

The plot may not be much -- amazing creatures live in the sea and if we keep polluting the world a bunch of them will die, so let's stop being such jerks -- but the visuals are absolutely fantastic.

Younger children will be engrossed. Older ones may get bored.
If you’re not taking the family on an exotic beach vacation anytime soon, consider this a reasonable alternative.
Top Critic
The 3-D effects are uncanny; much of the audience ducked when sea snakes lunged at it. You can't get that on your TV set. Yet.
Top Critic
Oceanic movies in actual science museums are far more interesting and nuanced than this documentary -- not to mention the wildly popular Planet Earth series, which even in 2-D looks better.
Top Critic
As intimate and enjoyable as anything Imax has done in 3-D.

I've seen so many large- format deep-sea documentaries I'm waterlogged, so I was reluctant to go to Under the Sea 3-D. But I'm glad I did.
This is the fourth Imax underwater excursion, and the second in 3-D, and it may just be the best yet.
