IMAX: Sharks [Blu-ray 3D] Reviews

In 2003, director Jean-Jacques Mantello took his high definition cameras to the great coral reefs of our oceans and presented a bracing documentary Ocean Wonderland focusing on the plant and animal life found there. That film concluded with a look at the shark population which inhabits the reefs of the world, and two years later, he devotes a 3D documentary especially to sharks in all of their impressive but frightening majesty. Truth to tell, the documentary doesn’t just focus on various types of sharks, and that’s part of its problem. It gets sidetracked midway through the film with detours into other fish found in waters where sharks live and breed. While the images are awesome, one feels it’s not time well spent when the genesis and focus of the film was supposed to be with one of the sea creatures who occupies the top of the food chain and is sometimes called “the lion of the seas.”
