I saw this movie with my two grandsons and can not wait for its release in October. I'm pre-ordering it now so I'll have it as soon as it becomes available. The cinematography is indeed fantastic and there is no need to rate it any lower because of the narration. This is a must have in your collection! When my son-in-law inquired if his 4 and 6 year olds thanked Papa for taking them to the movie, the six year old immediately replied "thanks Papa". After a short time, and following another request from the father, the four year old replied, "I'm NOT thanking him for making me watch a great white eat a seal!" There are a few graphic scenes but they are REAL - big fish do indeed eat little fish. -- GREAT movie!
I am a fan of movies like planet earth, life. I really like this movie. But, French version BD DVD is 103 min while US theater version is 82min. I hope the US BD DVD would be full version. -- Fantastic movie, but US version is 20 min short
Oceans is filled with some amazing pictures, from a lone scuba diver swimming alongside a shark that's 10 times his size to a series of close-ups of sea creatures that look more like something from a cheap Hollywood horror movie than something actually found in nature. Sadly, most of what's shown in the movie won't be new to the audience, particularly if you've seen any of the plethora of nature movies and television specials that have been released over the past few years (a cuttlefish is a cuttlefish is a cuttlefish), but it's still beautifully photographed and looks great on the big screen.
While it's lovely to look at, however, Oceans is more than a little tedious to sit through.

I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated.
Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review.
Okay, so, there's not much I can say. All I can say is that this is real. It shows both the hardships and the love of the ocean and maybe not enough. I can understand why, this is Disney and there are kids coming, I was surprised what was in it was in it. I can't believe it was just 1 1/2 hours though, it felt like it had to be at least 2:10 but no.
Something that seems to be good and bad is the fact they keep promoting stuff. In front of Earth was this, infront of this was African Cats, and infront of African Cats will be something else and they are all on Earth Day. It's gonna be a Disney tradition to do this with stolen movies. A few others I know of are Chimpanzee, Orangutan, and Flamingo.
But keep up the good work at bringing Nature to the big screen. It's very nice to watch, but seriously, could have ended a lot quicker then it really did. But, it is magnificent
The Rating? Eehhh... Let's give it a 3.1/5. -- Magnificent
I saw this in the theaters soon after it came out. After seeing "Earth" and the wonderful trailer for "Oceans," I was really looking forward to it. It was kind of disappointing.
There's the expected wonderful cinematography, and if that's all you're looking for, this movie will not disappoint. In particular, there's one amazing sequence featuring dolphins, sardines, seagulls, sharks, and whales. That was incredible, and well worth seeing.
However, I spent most of the rest of the movie being very irritated with the narration. It was not only uninformative, but confusing and disjointed as well. Over and over and over again, the narrator would make half a point, and then move on to something completely different. For example, there's one little sequence where he's talking about animals depending on one another. We see a fish hiding in an anemone's tentacles. He says, "Immune to the sea anemone's paralyzing tentacles, a clamfish hides..." and then he moves on to something completely different without bothering to mention what the anemone gets out of the deal. He did this all through the movie! The end result was disjointed and distracting.
Plus, "Earth" had about four big stories with about 500 little complete stories in between. "Oceans" has no story. It has about 500 POTENTIAL stories, but since the narrator always just tells us half the story before moving on to something else, and almost never answers the question, "why?," it's just frustration, over and over again. -- Excellent cinematography, destroyed by the narration
