Ocean Wonderland [Blu-ray]

As a SCUBA Instructor and an owner of my first 3D TV, I highly recommend this! I was a bit disappointed in the 3D movies that I've seen. The 3D was good, but I wanted to see what 3D could really do. I wanted in my face 3D effects. This DELIVERS!How about dolphin fish swimming up to your nose? I'm sure you will also reach out to touch them. The photography is fantastic. Nothing beats diving, but this is about as close as you can get without getting wet. Plus, it would require many dives and thousands of dollars to travel to prime reefs to see all that is delivered in this movie.As a PADI instructor, I'm proud that PADI is a contributor with its Project Aware, the purpose of is to protect the world's reefs as we are literally killing them with our pollution, human waste, climate warming, fishing practicing and at the bottom is poor diving practices and lack of buoyancy control.Never touch any coral! I keep my hands clasped while diving. It just kills me to see divers destroying our reefs. There is massive damage to what were beautiful reefs in the Florida Keys. It breaks my heart to see reefs that I onced dived on, now totally dead and absent of fish. I no longer travel to the keys and I avoid cattle boats full of poorly trained, over-weighted divers, who break reefs with every kick.You will definately enjoy this film. My only complaint is I wanted it to be longer! I will be watching it again. Hopefully, it will make you want to learn how to dive.Find a good instructor who teaches you to use the right amount of weight and who teaches you how to achieve neutral buoyancy. Of the certified divers, that I didn't train, coming into my advanced classes, none were weighted properly and didn't have a clue how to do so. One 95lb woman had 24lbs of weight, when she needed 7lbs.Buy this one! (forgive me and my soap box, please!)

This was a very exciting 3D movie. Highly recommended for families.

This is the first 3D Blu-Ray I've ever watched on my new set, and it was a good choice. The 3D effect is excellent all the way through. At times, I found myself almost reaching out to some tiny little fish that seemed to be swimming in the air between the TV and my eyes - a nifty illusion!The content is nice, giving us some basic information about coral reefs and their accompanying numerous life-forms, with just a little cautionary environmental material near the end. My only complaint is that it would have been helpful to know the approximate size of the various life forms we were seeing. For example, barracudas and trumpet fish, shown in schools, looked to be about the same size on the screen, yet in real life barracudas are much, much larger than trumpet fish. It's a small complaint.The music soundtrack was just right; very pleasant. It didn't distract from what I was seeing, and emphasized the right moments.All in all, it's a relaxing show and a wonderful showcase for 3D.

3D was average and actual video material was boring for anyone over the age of 10. Also after it arrived I turned on my new Samsung 46" LED 3D to one of my DirectTV channels that show 3D videos and documentaries and to my surprise this exact DVD title was being played. In fact it's been on all week at various times and I recorded it with my DVR to see if there were any differences in the quality of the 3D.. My conclusion is not enough to pay the $20 in price. If you have DirectTV and a DVR receiver save your money and record it!

From the opening screen shot where small fish are swimming out into my living room this documentary is one of the best IMAX 3D films ever produced. The fragile life of coral reefs and its beauty is brought to the screen where we are made to realize that these areas need to be protected and guarded not only for future generations but that these areas are very important to the health of our planet.

I have a lot of 3d movies and this one is in the top 5 for graphics that pop out of the tv. feels like ur in the sea looking at the coral and reaching out to touch the fish swimming by. i would reccomend to anyone with a good 3d system to purchase it. as i had no problems with this disc the graphics are awesome and the price is fair, usually 3d movies this quality are way more expensive.

My first 3D movie purchase."Ocean Wonderland" is fun to watch. In some scenes, small fish seem to swim off the screen right at you.I keep trying to grab one but so far, no luck.The video and audio are really good and the "message" comes through.I bought it for the 3D, but there's a lot of really good environmental information offered along with all the great video.

This IMAX documentary of the water world focus on coral reefs and its habitats. It's hosted by a sea turtle, and guides through the reef. It clarifies the definition of a coral reef, and shows plenty. A word of warning, some may find looking at the reefs *itchy*. My wife keep saying she felt like scratching her hair, and one of my kid say his body itches while looking at some of the reef patterns!Unlike other underwater/animal documentary, this one doesn't show the hostile / predatory acts until seeing sharks in action toward the end.The 2D movie doesn't seem as sharp, but 3D is top-notch. It's better than all other underwater 3D documentaries that I own (including IMAX Deep Sea 3D). There are good balance of in-screen and out-of-screen (OOS) objects. Many of the OOS are showing the "table" reef platforms. A few OOS involving dolphins looking into the screen directly at you with it's nose sticking out!

Excellent works great

Kauf das du wirst es nicht bereuen!

I was totally blown away by this and it really felt like you were there, scuba diving in the ocean at times! The long tracking shots draw you in and allow you to really get a sense of depth. I was surprised at how the 3D effect came towards you and sea creatures like the turtle, floated in incredible detail, above my coffee table!I was amazed at how the whole scene leapt out of the TV screen, as I had been told that it was more a case of the depth behind the screen. But with this, a lot of the action is in front of the screen - the nature of the material enhances this with the feeling of being surrounded by water.The coral is presented in incredible detail and the experience of seeing fish hidden amongst tendrils was enhanced by the 3D depth. This just wouldn't have been the same in 2D. Some may see 3D as a gimmick, but in presentations like this, it really makes a difference.As other have said this is too short and you want more - but it is also the ideal introduction to 3D - a demonstration of what it can do. In that context, its length is ideal and means you can make sure you take a break, as the experience is so immersive, you can forget where you are!

これだけ綺麗でダイナミックな映像は初めてです。3d作品の中でもピカイチです。とてもオススメします。前知識なしで見た方が感動するとおもいます。

Product shipped by post, and was received in reasonable time. Content was as advertised, and in great condition (still shrink-wrapped).The movie is about 40 minutes long (typical for an IMAX documentary), and features some stunning 3D of coral reefs and marine life. No regrets.
