Take a once-in-a-lifetime journey across the South Pacific for a spectacular IMAX adventure. Joy, ecstasy, a spiritual high: these words describe the exhilaration of diving a pristine coral reef, and ocean explorers Howard and Michele Hall bring their love of the ocean into action. With Jean-Michael Cousteau, deep reef scientist Richard Pyle and Fijian diver Rusi Vulakoro, they explore and capture on film the dazzling underwater world of coral reefs, magical places here on Earth. This tropical excursion through the South Pacific will surprise and delight you as you fall in love with the reefs, and your heart will ache at the tragic, irretrievable loss of these fragile worlds.

Summary: A good movie, not too preachy
Comment: I bought this for my in-laws for Christmas as they just got a Blu-Ray player. The description leaves out that the crew is responding to help a man in Fiji find out what is wrong with his village's dying/dead reef.

Other than the dying reef, the photography is very pretty. I think one of my favorite pieces actually happened on a lightweight glider. You get to see the islands and the reefs from above... You really feel like you are there.

I didn't think it was too preachy. There is a reason the reef is dying... it's not global warming. I won't ruin the movie for you. It does have an agenda as it is funded (at least in partial) by the National Wildlife Fund. But... the movie may not have been made without their funding.

Summary: "Coral Reef "or "Let's go Diving"?
Comment: This was disappointing because the potential was there to do some wonderful work. Like many of these films, it becomes about the people making the film instead of the fascinating subject it pretends to show. I, personnaly, think there should be as little as possible human depiction in these nature films. If I am buying a film on Coral Reef, I do not want to see diving gear, boats, people plotting courses etc...

Summary: UTTERLY AMAZING!
Comment: I just ordered this from Amazon because of the selling price of $11.00 free shipping. I'm SO glad I took the chance. This is an AMAZING blu-ray disc. The quality of the sound is as good, if not better, than the picture quality. Fantastic underwater photography will have you in awe. If you're into this sort of thing, this is a MUST have for your blu-ray collection.
