From Amazon.com

Mysterious and only superficially explored by generations of the native Aborigines, Australia's Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's most extraordinary natural life systems. Twelve hundred miles long and made up of coral, it is the Earth's largest structure built by living things, in some places extending 120 miles into the sea. So many varieties of life call the reef home that more than a dozen species can be found within any square meter of its surface. This IMAX film brilliantly captures the visual splendor of this environment with splendid underwater photography typical of the format. Sharks, sea turtles, anemones, and the coral itself are the living subjects of the camera's probing eye. Overall, this documentary is a comprehensive look at this long-studied web of life that leaves a lasting impression of its depth and beauty. --Ed Noble

Great Barrier Reef DVD (2003-01-03)
I bought this DVD because of our love of sea life and vast experience diving and snorkeling. I was sure that since it had been an IMAX movie that it would be a superior view. I was wrong. This DVD was mediocre at best. There was not enough ocean life in this film, and the commentary was less than scintillating. Better off ordering the Dolphin's IMAX which lived up to its IMAX reputation.

IMAX The Reef (2000-07-15)
Not enough wildlife footage,boring commentator.

Nice Trip to The Great Barrier Reef ( I. M. X) (2000-05-18)
This trip is filled with splendid and natural views in one of the best world area, with its wonderful sea life.

you will travel through the views in addition to high quality music.

It is relax and comfort day, during which you will travel with I.M.X and get deeply through the Great Barrier Reef to enjoy its natural views.

Not Widescreen (1999-12-03)
I was very disappointed that the DVD is not widescreen although it claims to be. When I watch it on my widescreen TV I have two big bands on each side of the screen. However, the film and music are beautiful. I would give it five stars for the content. If you don't have a widescreen TV then I highly recommend it.

Beautiful sceneries. (1999-07-30)
Forget about all those special effects movies. If you really want to impress with your video-equipment, buy this DVD. You have to see it to believe it. I only had one gripe with this DVD, there is no option to turn off the commentary. I think it would be a great idea if they had an option to just listen to the music and watch the pictures. So I just turn off the sound, and put on a nice CD.
