I think you have to realise that this has been created as "Filmic Art" - there is no attempt at a narrative or even to make this a documentary film.
The creators are quite clear in the documentation that this is an "ambient entertainment" and a way to turn your flat TV screen, into a deep ocean environment.
So everything is slow and gentle - the music has been specially created for this and is pretty good but may not be to everybody's tastes. It is well-recorded and the surround sound nature of soundtrack, with very low "sub-bass", gives a real feel of being a long way down in the deep ocean.
In many ways this is a test disc that shows how well your surround sound system and 3D TV works. I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures and the music/ambient sound - it was almost like a meditation, slowing you down to the pace of the ocean.
If you are looking for excitement and action - this is not for you!! I applaud the creators of this for a brave attempt to create a new kind of 3D art and in trying to bring the feeling of the Deep Ocean to our living rooms.
I wouldn't give this 5 stars as I am not sure how often I would watch this - it's like a demonstration of what you can do and as such it is impressive while not being something you would want to come back to again and again.
It's more like a video painting and I think you need to decide whether you want such a thing - it's great for what it is, but you may not feel the need for such a thing and many people will be disappointed if they have not read and understood this. But that's not the fault of the creators of this disc and I don't think they should be criticised for trying to create something different.

Great 3D with amazing depths in some parts. But, to be honest, this is more like an ambient aquarium-film with a deep ocean theme (although very professionally made with text-info about some cool species). I think I'll mostly use the 2D-version from now on as some sort of an ambient backdrop and use the 3D-version to impress friends and family.

I've got to say that this is pretty cool 3D Blu-ray. I have most of the available ones and this is not the best one, but for the price it is definitely worth it. It makes for a really cool 3D-show-off. It is also a great 2D screen-saver to have playing in the background when you have guests over - the Hairy Angler is a definite topic for conversation:)

lazy, had so much potential
this had so much potential. The cgi was very good, the creatures were very realistic and the 3d was alright. But even tho all of that, this was close to unwatchable. Read more

Not very good
This is not a film !!! It is an aquarium of deep sea creatures. These creatures aren't real, but computer generated. The 3D effects are pointless. Read more
