The Review

You can do no wrong when watching a documentary about nature, and Oceans is a spectacular display of underwater imagery.

The narration isn’t too annoying, and subtly use in this beautiful documentary, the best I’ve seen so far.

The direction was excellent, the sequences aptly moves slow and fast depending on the scene.

This is a film on the celebration of the ocean ecology and its impact on man.

If the stunning imagery doesn’t entice you, maybe the lessons you can reap by watching the film would.

The Good

• Minimalist commentary
• Stunning dreamy sequences

The Bad

• Some scenes wasn’t explained well, or there was no explanation at all why the creatures are doing what they’re doing
