Oceans - Disappointed!!!
PostedApril 24, 2010

1. Pierce Brosnon was the wrong choice for narrator. His voice didn't fit. The script was over the top melodramatic and his voice made the drama worse.
2. The "connection" between space and the ocean was lame, at best.
3. The lame "space connection" was demonstrated through a computer generated scene with the Galapagos iguanas and a rocket taking off. So, I'm supposed to believe that in one scene, it's the Galapagos Islands, but in the next scene we're in Florida when the iguana is native to only the Galapagos Islands? And the rocket being reflected in the iguana's eye? WOW! I thought I was seeing a "nature" movie about oceans and ocean life. There was absolutely nothing "natural" in that scene and it really irritated me that Disney used computer generated scenes.
4. Because the opening scene was computer generated, I questioned so many other scenes as not real. I never had that feeling when I saw "Earth."
5. What is it with Disney and DEATH? Were the Great White and the baby seals really necessary? I had to *run* my daughter out of there! C'mon, a little warning? You cannot convince me that I'm the only parent with a sensitive kid!
6. All the good scenes were summarized quite well in the movie trailer. None of the other scenes in the 85 minute movie compared to the scenes in the movie trailer. I was bored and actually ready to leave early because the movie was not keeping my attention. I think part of that takes us right back to Point #1.
7. Do Humpback whales really sleep like that when people are filming them? There had to be so many people and equipment to film that. I just really don't know if the humpbacks would sleep thru it. I'm wondering if that scene was computer generated too. And the scene with the scuba diver and the humpback swimming around it?. If it was real, depth perception was impossible, but I'm not sure it was even real. But, having said that, humpbacks are absolutely amazing!
8. I don't feel like I've learned a thing. I feel like I spent money to see altered, enhanced images that really aren't true to life.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
