Oceans adds another visually stunning chapter to the Disney Nature library
If you’re looking for a movie that will make you feel like you’re swimming with the fishes, then Oceans is the perfect pick. This documentary is visually stunning and will leave you in awe of the creatures that call the ocean home. From baby sea otters playing to sharks on the hunt, Oceans covers it all. Sure, there’s a touch too much eco finger-wagging and some suspicious reaction shots, but who cares when you get to hear a crab sneeze? Overall, Oceans is a great reminder of the beauty and power of nature.

This mealtime footage of prey and predators isn’t just remarkable, it’s simply breathtaking, and it’s only one moment of many that had me holding my breath in wonder.

Its visual splendor more than makes up for its intellectual poverty.

It is a standard style of nature documentary with gorgeous cinematography, music and a good message.

There’s surprisingly small amount of eco finger-wagging and a touch too many suspicious reaction shots… but Oceans is marvellously, fantastically shot (very little blood, parents) and foleyed, heavy-handed soundtrack aside.

By mixing the fake with the genuine, however well-meaning their intentions, they’ve shot themselves in the foot; I left the cinema feeling as though I’d been taken for a ride.

hits all the right buttons, focusing on the cute (like the seals and penguins) to the dangerous (like the sharks) and the majestic (like the whales)
