With his amazing underwater Imax camera, director Howard Hall travels to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and some of the world's most isolated spots in order to bring audiences truly jaw-dropping 3-D experiences. Great white sharks swim right up, sting rays flap sand all over, and there's up-close and personal time with sea lions, sea turtles, clown fish, nautilus and dwarf whales, and the leafy-looking sea dragon (at such close proximity, these creatures make typical movie monsters seem pretty tame). The sealife can be hypnotic in the clear, flowing waves--as in the dance of the cuttlefish, or the fields of eels--but beware of sudden attacks from well-camouflaged predators like the spiny scorpion fish. Hall is a pro photographer of these Imax soirees, having also helmed DEEP SEA 3D and INTO THE DEEP 3D, and his great patience, skill, and obvious love for his subject matter pay off in fully immersive images that add urgency to the film's serious environmental concerns: acidification and global warming are endangering the reefs, and action must be taken if these creatures are to survive into the future.

This is a raw, brutal arena of cold-eyed predators chomping the weakest and inexpressibly ugly beings that have evolved so as to be disturbingly well camouflaged, utterly invisible until they make a deadly lunge at some poor vulnerable little fishy.

It’s that kind of detail that makes a the film such an immersive experience. An educational one, too.

Carrey remains an acquired taste but Under The Sea is a fine example of the 3D form and Hall's mastery of it.

As intimate and enjoyable as anything Imax has done in 3-D.

No computer-designed animatronic invention can begin to match the beauty and grace of the oceanic life photographed in Under the Sea 3D.

Gorgeous, informative and as gripping as a shark's jaws.
