Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
just watch it!
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ocean Oasis is a gem to be heralded. Bright, Colorful, Vibrant, Exciting. Is only a small handful of verbs to describe this wonderful film. Rich in storyline and in cinematography this documentary film is much like what you would see on your local PBS station or on the Discovery Channel except the splendor of the massive IMAX screen makes this as if you are actually swimming with the fish and the sharks in this underwater adventure. If you love nature, oceanography, or watching tropical fish and other animals this movie is for you.
This was my first time that I visited an Imax theater. The theater is quite impressive but I was not completely satisfied with the documentary.Ocean Oasis depicts the life, richness and beauty of nature in a part of the world which has not yet been ruined by men. Whilst, I admit, certain scenes are quite spectacular, the documentary fails to give sufficient detail and one gets the feeling that it is too short. The flow of the movie is not smooth and it jumps from one aspect to another without any apparent connection, focusing on certain parts whilst just skimming on others. Also the narration is not very good. It seams clear to me that the narrators where not English speaking an so they felt quite awkward.Finally, I think that the movie is not at all suitable for an Imax theater because no part of it gives you enough trill which should justify seeing it on the huge screen. All in all my overall score for it is 5.5/10 but you should definetely wait for it to be released either on TV or on video to even considering seeing it.
