The Living Sea
The Living Sea celebrates the beauty and power of the ocean as it explores our relationship with this complex and fragile environment. Using beautiful images of unspoiled healthy waters, The Living Sea offers hope for recovery engendered by productive scientific efforts. Oceanographers studying humpback whales, jellyfish, and deep-sea life show us that the more we understand the ocean and its inhabitants, the more we will know how to protect them. The film also highlights the Central Pacific islands of Palau, one of the most spectacular underwater habitats in the world, to show the beauty and potential of a healthy ocean.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Creator of the Universe has done excellent job by creating Air, Land,and Water... and all the creatures inside them...There is nothing like Water...It is very peaceful and silent inside Water and In Air...I doubt that those who swims in open waters can understand anythingabout politics and manipulation on the Land...How would a Human feel, if Sun makes noise and Water makes noise likeHuman Vocal Cord every minute...We know more about Outer Space than about our oceans today...This movie is something to experience again and again...Movies like these makes life very beautiful, desirable, and enjoyable...Lucky are those who experience IMAX every month...Rest are just laboring for nothing...wasting their precious time talkingnonsense....Nature is truly beautiful... and we ( small object ) exist and walk onEarth ( Large Object )...and yet we fail to notice that Earth will behere.. but we will be gone momentarily....Thanks and Regards.Sam RupaniHouston, Texas, United States of Ameri
The Living Sea is a movie that can make you understand how we fit with the ocean ecosystem. I like the underwater scenery the best, because it almost feel you are swimming with the fishes. I saw this movie in Hawaii in 1997 at Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. It was a nice companion piece to my travel on the island.
A fascinating look at how the oceans of the world impact the Earth. Facts like "70% of the Earth's oxygen comes from ocean plants." Great soundtrack from sting that compliments the film and each story. While not as impressive watching it at home as it is in an IMAX theater, it is still well worth a look at.
I am an avid fan of the IMAX format, but rarely have I ever been a fan of any IMAX film. This is the one IMAX film that I feel has used the advantages of the format in nearly every shot, and besides that, it is an elegantly produced little film. Extremely beautiful, with many highlights. It is a must-see for all those who've never been exactly impressed by anything at an IMAX show (although the 'industry' is working overtime in amping up this cinema-sideshow - they promise it will be the 'next big thing' in movies). DON'T WATCH IT AT HOME.
