Oashi FN Lots of interesting moments:* a clash of two "armies" of crabs;* ships in waves;* dolphins "surfing" on waves;* a walrus female taking care of her infant, holding it on her chest, like by hands;* a slime turning back onto its foot.And scary moments:* the remnants of the Chinese soup - shark still alive;* shopping cart & a seal & coast of fires;I did not see much new, almost nothing, but it shows lots of beauty/emotional views.The movie claims a mission in the meaning of "let's save the nature". But instead of any "active helping to the nature", libertarians would rather claim "Stop making the problem worse!" So I do not completely agree with the view of their mission.The "passive help" approach would point the cause much more accurately: Us. Just stop the wasting: Then, the nature will take the chance/opportunity itself, and will get prosperous again.Any "cleaning" of what happened already, is foolish, in this moment. We have to point the root cause first: Us, the source.

TheLittleSongbird I like nature documentaries just as much as the next person, likewise with my sister, and I found Oceans to be visually stunning and fascinating to watch. Oceans contains the best underwater photography I have seen in a long time and the colours are so sharp and vivid. The animals are a joy, ranging to cute to menacing it was fascinating learning about them. The narration while occasionally having the odd overly-sentimental pang, is intelligently written, with a strong emotional impact with me either biting my nails or being moved by some of the events, and Pierce Brosnan's delivery of it is both inspired and understated.Overall, fascinating and a feast visually. 9/10 Bethany Cox

hfan77 I just watched Oceans on Starz On Demand and to me it had the best underwater photography i have seen in years. As a long-time fan of the TV series Sea Hunt, I have enjoyed watching underwater shows for many years. But Oceans is far way superior than the Lloyd Bridges show, since it's filmed in sharp color and the shots of the ocean floor are very outstanding. Not to be overlooked are the shots of sea lions, sea otters and whales.Another aspect that I enjoyed is Pierce Brosnan's narration. He adds a lot to the documentary, explaining to viewers what is happening. The producers did an outstanding job in going all over the globe to capture the view of the oceans. I plan on watching it again in HD to get the full screen effect that was missing in the normal on demand viewing that looks like a large postage stamp. Go down deep with Oceans, it's so beautifully photographed.

winstonnc-1 It's important to note there are TWO versions of this film. Jacques Perrin's original runs 104 minutes and is narrated by Perrin in French. Disney bought the film, cut 20 minutes (much of it critical of human activity endangering the oceans and animal habitats), junked Perrin's spare narration, which lets you wonder at the sights on view, and substituted a gabby but emotionally chilly commentary by Pierce Brosnan.Perrin's original version is not available in the US, per contract with Disney. The original is available in Europe on DVD and Blu-Ray (but unplayable on most US machines) but it seems to lack English subtitles. So you're pretty much stuck with Disney edition.The original, however, is to my mind better and much more in line with Perrin's "Winged Migration" than the Disney version. The best that can be said for the US edition is that plays down the "humanizing" of animal life that was an annoy hallmark of Disney's True-Life Adventures of the 1950s.
