Sharks 3D (2004)

Powerful

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie forgot to be interesting. Or perhaps it substituted silly long sequences of footage that were interesting ONLY because of the 3-D. I would advise the movie maker to make a good movie first, a 3-D movie second. And, with each meandering, uninteresting footage of seals or schools of fish came the awful loud music. In fact, I'd say the footage would be MORE interesting if the music were more subtle and sometimes non-existent.I like documentaries. I like ocean documentaries. I grew up with Jacques Cousteau. It is hard for me to imagine him making such an awful movie. There were two redeeming values. One, it kept my seven year old entertained. Two, one or two of the facts mentioned were new to me.If you are looking for an entertaining and informative movie on sharks or the ocean, look elsewhere, my friend.

Beautiful footage by a highly respect marine biologist made all the more stunning in 3-D. This is not only a fun film to watch, giving you a virtual reality experience of scuba diving with sharks and many other creatures (sea turtles, dolphins, manta rays, saw fish, sea lions), but also contains an informative and important message about conservation. Many of these creatures are endangered, some critically. This adds a poignancy to the film. The creatures are beautiful and impressive, but if we want to continue to enjoy nature, we will have to do more to protect it from overfishing, and needless destruction in drift nets, long-line fishing, shark fin soup and other wasteful practices. Highly recommended for all ages. One of the best IMAX films I've seen.

I saw this film at The Manchester IMAX the other day and was blown away by it. I thought it might have been a bit basic for a shark fan, but it was full of great information. The underwater footage was simply astounding and it really looked like you could reach out and grab the sharks! Jean-Michel Coustaeu was a great presenter, just like his Dad. He was really good at getting across the facts in a fun way - great for kids & not too condescending for adults. If you have kids then take them to see it as the whole family will enjoy it.It was good to see some of the other animals of the sea as well. The Sharks interaction with the Dolphins was particularly fascinating. Recommended for all Shark lovers, families and people amazed by the unknown.

This film is really meant for kids i think. A talking turtle? That did not work for me, the voice acting was relatively bad.But some of the movie scenes make up for the bad voice acting. for instance with the schools of fish that was amazing because it felt like your were swimming with them. The director seemed like he wanted to focus on what would look cool in 3d, like the 5 minute fillers of sea lions just swimming. The writing was bad too. The turtles jokes were just plain stupid. I certainly did not feel what this film intended...to be enlightened about sharks. It was just plain and dull like any other 3-d and or IMAX movie. I think if IMAX is to become a big thing in the future it should make better movies.
