This is a film my friends and I were anxious to see. A little embarrassing because it is technically an informational film but we didn't care, we thought it would be so cool especially because it featured all of those crazy creatures beneath the sea and in all honesty it is unlike the rest of the standard films out right now. I, myself, had not seen the Disney's Earth series but had heard great reviews which further propelled us all to head to the the theater. The basis of the film's narrative is centered around the creatures who depend on the ocean to live and consequently the issues facing many of the environmental problems concerning the health of the ocean. Pierce Brosnan was the new narrator of the nature film whereas Morgan Freedman left a strong legacy from the previous Earth series behind. Walt Disney even said himself that real animals are often more surprising than one's they dream up for their cartoon characters and that the natural world was a perfect stage for great comedy, for great drama, and for some of the most amazing stories ever told. He was right. In the motion picture Oceans, the audience is taken on a journey to personally meet some of the world's most unique and unknown creatures that keep you mesmerized in a beautiful state of awe.
The Good: The best part of this film was by far the cinematography. This movie truly shows the amazing technological developments that have made in regards to film production. The people who actually filmed the movie were right there under water face to face with the animals to show their true habitats in the most realistic and fascinating expression of animal life. Each shot was more beautiful then the next which left the audience with a feeling of immense wonder and amazement. The animals they chose to feature were some of the most unique creatures on the planet that, especially me, learned entirely new things about. The way they depicted each of the animals special life stories and how exactly they all relate to one another in a collective food chain was fascinating to see all put together.
The Bad: What I was greatly disappointed by in this film was the actual lack of information. Don't get me wrong, the movie definitely showed me some crazy stuff that I would never have known, however, it was minimal. I felt the focus of the movie was more on the cinematography rather than the facts based on the animals. My friends and I walked out and were like hmmm I wish I could have gotten a little bit more from that.
The Ugly: There was definitely a big downfall to the film. I was quick to notice the major flaw because there seemed to be a piece missing for me. There was no structure to the film. The trailer laid out a specific way the film makers were going to approach the movie: going into each of the five different oceans of the world and showing how the animals live in each. What the movie lacked was showing that exact setup and providing the audience with a certain structure rather than featuring random animals as they saw fit.

Overall, this film was a true cinematic adventure that took me on a journey around the world's oceans to see things that were never possible to be filmed before. I recommend my followers to definitely see this film if you want to see a movie like no other that will cause you to watch the movie with your hand over your mouth in amazement--true story of Glam Gab when she saw the movie. I give this film an B+.
I decided to make a special feature to this post. In this movie, I have fallen in love with its features song and I think you will too. Enjoy :)
