Stars: 3 out of 5
The documentary "Oceans" captures breathtaking and visually stunning imagery. The beauty of the film almost brought me to tears in a few scenes, such as the sight of an extremely large battleship going over monstrous waves 100's of feet tall, or the beautiful Blanket Octopus gliding through the water. Pierce Brosnan narrates, and his soft tone makes the film extremely soothing- perhaps too soothing. Unfortunately, the film gets a bit too sleepy , and I'm sorry too say I found myself wishing to leave the theater a couple times. But the beauty left me flabbergasted all the same. The only other criticism I have for the movie is its pleas to stop acts such as pollution and overfishing. It was a bit arbitrary, in my opinion, to inform viewers about this, since we've already heard it hundreds of times. There are just too many movies and documentaries that talk about this, and I don't think this one had to go there. All in all, this is an amazing movie, and although it is a bit tedious, I think you will find it breathtaking all the same.
