Filmed in a surprisingly banal way, this bit of ecological agit-prop will introduce you to a few big aquatic mammals, reminding you about a dozen times that they’re on the brink of extinction. There is not a single scene or shot for which we would go to an IMAX theatre. There is almost no hunting, mating or water dancing, and the little that is there is over and done with in a few seconds. The film is somehow salvaged only by the likability of some of the mammals, which the filmmakers however cannot claim credit for. I’m only giving this three stars as a nature lover.

When I saw this movie a few years ago in IMAX, I expected a bit more courage, more interesting shots. Unfortunately, I didn't get that and it's quite a ordinary documentary that tries to show us life underwater, with the 3D looking pretty good at times, but that's about it. Visually nice, but nothing revolutionary.
