Under the Sea

Do you like the sea?
Do you like the critters who live in the sea?
Do you like to be informed about the sea?
Do you like to be dazzled by the sea?

If your answer to any of those questions is yes, I have just the film for you! Today I had the pleasure of watching "Under the Sea" in 3-D at the IMAX. It just doesn't get much better than that.

I have never done any diving, but I suspect this film comes pretty close to duplicating that experience, except I never got wet, I never got cold and my hair stayed dry. That's MY kind of underwater thrill! We go from the Great Barrier Reef to the South Coast of Australia, from mangrove swamps to river deltas. This movie is interesting, entertaining and educational. And the 3-D is exceptional. During the final credits there are bubbles that come off the screen and float toward you; they look so real it feels like you can reach out and pop them!

Grab a child and head out for an IMAX theatre; this movie is only 40 minutes long and you'll be sorry when it's over.
