The Living Sea: Imax – 2 Stars (Average)The Living Sea may not be as impressive watching it at home on your television as it would be in an IMAX theater, but it is plenty good enough to merit attention.This 40-minute film was nominated for an Oscar as the Best Documentary for a short subject, and is the creation of Greg MacGillivray and Alec Lorimore. MacGillivray is the director of the film and the writing credits go to Roger Holzberg and Tim Cahill.The Living Sea is a good family film for children because it is colorful, interesting and informative.The Living Sea is really a survey of the world's oceans, illuminating the teeming life beneath the surface and emphasizing the fact that all of the bodies of water covering the Earth are interconnected.We may not realize it, but we are dependent upon the oceans for survival as 70% of the Earth's oxygen comes from ocean plants.The film highlights all of the colorful, vibrant life beneath the surface, including humpback whales, golden jellyfish and giant clams. All of the sea life reminds us of the ocean's deep mysteries, and is captured by stunning cinematography.We come into contact with surfers, researchers cataloging and tracking whales, a Coast Guard rough weather rescue squad, and a deep-ocean research team at work. A study of jellyfish in a saltwater lake takes us to the Palau Islands.Legendary actress Meryl Streep provides the narration for The Living Sea.While there has been a lot of focus on exploring outer space since the early 1960s, a lot less attention has been paid to what happens under the Earth's oceans and especially on the ocean floor, where nothing can be seen in the darkness without artificial lighting.The Living Sea is an interesting and incredibly beautiful look at an environment that we generally are never able to see.Copyright © 2007 Ed Bagley
