Great showcase of poor diving, reef destruction by "experts", poor film work, and poor sound.
The absolute worst reef documentary I've ever seen. As short as it is, a lot of time is wasted on silly pretentious landside footage. The main feature of the program is poorly lit underwater footage showcasing Ron and Valerie destroying coral and harassing marine life while exhibiting sloppy, careless diving skills. The university of Minnesota should be embarrassed to put their name on this. Unbelievable! To top it off, we're expected to sit through not one, but TWO obligatory "shark shock" scenes. During the stupid "shark shock," be sure to have the remote handy to turn the thundering noise down or brace yourself for a headache.

Great Barrier Reef DVD
I bought this DVD because of our love of sea life and vast experience diving and snorkeling. I was sure that since it had been an IMAX movie that it would be a superior view. I was wrong. This DVD was mediocre at best. There was not enough ocean life in this film, and the commentary was less than scintillating. Better off ordering the Dolphin's IMAX which lived up to its IMAX reputation.

IMAX The Reef
Not enough wildlife footage,boring commentator.

Nice Trip to The Great Barrier Reef ( I. M. X)
This trip is filled with splendid and natural views in one of the best world area, with its wonderful sea life.

you will travel through the views in addition to high quality music.

It is relax and comfort day, during which you will travel with I.M.X and get deeply through the Great Barrier Reef to enjoy its natural views.

Not Widescreen
I was very disappointed that the DVD is not widescreen although it claims to be. When I watch it on my widescreen TV I have two big bands on each side of the screen. However, the film and music are beautiful. I would give it five stars for the content. If you don't have a widescreen TV then I highly recommend it.
