Review of Oceans

Oceans (2008)
6/10
Great style, but very little substance.

Great style, but very little substance. The images of underwater scenes and wildlife are amazing, and you can only begin to imagine the efforts it took to capture the footage. Apparently the footage was captured over four years, and you can see why it took so long.

However, the narration is flat, and empty. Pierce Brosnan's voice just seems wrong for the movie: dull, tired. Other than when identifying the animals, the narration is not very informative and quite pointless - full of trite, empty comments. David Attenborough this is not.

The producers could have done a better job by turning the footage over to National Geographic or The Discovery Channel.

Still, it is worth watching. Just sit back and take in the images of the amazing creatures of the sea.
