Ironically, my daughter wanted to see this movie for her birthday and I am in college online taking a class in Environmental Science. The pictures of the ocean were breathtaking. There were many species that I did not know were there in the ocean such as the dragon and the rockfish. My heart went out to that polar bear, who seemed so alone. I have learned from my class that they are an endangered species now. It was toward the end when you see the waves crashing and rolling. It was so relaxing to watch, I almost fell asleep. However, this film is a subtle, yet powerful wake-up call for us humans, to find a way to save what we have on Earth. I believe that it should have been in 3-D, to know the effects of the Earth better.
Many years ago, I saw Jaws in 3D...I didn't like it very much, mostly because of the paper 3D glasses you had to wear. When I went to see the Monsters vs. Aliens movie with the kids, I was expecting the same thing. To my surprise, I got these well made plastic glasses to wear. Anyway, the movie was fantastic, the 3D effects were an excellent you-can-reach-out-and-touch-it real. Love the crystal clear dimension and perception view. This 3D is not a waste of money.
