IMAX®: Under the Sea/IMAX® Deep Sea DBFE (Blu-ray 3D) [3D Blu-ray]
B**
Great 3D, short run times.
These movies were pretty much everything we had hoped for in a Blu-ray to show off our 3D projector, just in a smaller amount than we had thought. Each movie is only ~40 minutes with a few counting for beginning and end credits. The imagery is beautiful and the 3D is better than any disc that we own (and we own ~10 3D blu-rays including Jurassic World, Avengers 1&2, GotG, and several Pixar/Dreamworks movies). I've also seen several reviews saying that Under the Sea was better than Deep Sea. We actually liked Deep Sea more. The 3D on both is amazing with images projecting 80-90% out of the screen. Several scenes actually require you to back up, and many hurt your eyes due to the amount happening on screen (thousands of tiny fish, etc.). We would definitely buy these again, but I gave this 4 stars because of how short each film is. It left us wanting much more, but without a doubt, these will be the movies that we break out to show off the 3D features on our home theater.P.S. Jim Carrey narrates Under the Sea, and he seems to be using his creepy, "hey kids get in my van," voice.

O.K but still overpized
The price of this double feature IMAX 3D film made it a more attractive purchase to try it for my newly acquired Samsung 75" UN8550 UHD TV than purchasing the two disc separately since there were a lot of raving reviews about it's 3D-ness as compared to other 3D discs of the same subject. Well, I have to disagree with the people that seem to think that this movie is of higher quality than other 3D presentations. In my opinion it its of the same quality as most good 3D presentations except that in the IMAX tradition, they still seem to think that their mostly just 40 minutes or sometimes even shorter movies are worth so much more than other, at least 60 min. documentaries of other companies. Good for them that some people still fall for the notion that more expensive is better. My opinion is that IMAX makes some GOOD documentaries but in general they are ALWAYS still overprized.

A great view with 3D T.V.'s
The narrative and music are very pleasant. The movies are able to be viewed in 2D or 3D (only with 3D player/T.V.) and looks great with the Blu-ray format. Very informative and enjoyable with good follow along info from a man with a calm voice. Clear views and easy camera sweeps are nicely done. I liked these two discs, which each disc has 2D/3D views. A total of 1 disc in each case in this package for a total of 2. Two thumbs up.

Deep Sea 3D has the best 3D effect I have ever seen on a home ...
Deep Sea 3D has the best 3D effect I have ever seen on a home TV. The potato grouper came into my living room and stopped about a foot in front of me! Better than the Imax theater. I froze the shot, stood up and put my hand in the fishes mouth. The movie was good but I would have bought it for this one shot. I have watched dozens of 3D movies on my LG 70" TV. They are all good but now I wonder why they all don't have the "in your face" movie theater quality 3D.

Good discs, but.....ADVERTISED SLIP COVER NOT SENT. That's why I bought it.
The Three Stars are for Content. Would be four stars, but....read on.The two films, which total an hour and a half, are excellent, quite beautiful with strong, immersive 3-D. However, the discs were sent as two separate but taped-together regular amaray cases rather than the pictured lenticular slip-cover that should have been with them and was the main reason I bought these at this time.So, while I love the product I feel cheated because Amazon's third party slipped up this time by sending me something that was NOT "as advertised."If I can't get what I ordered, I'll not use third party purchasing again.

Did not dissapoint
As far as the 3D in both of these DVD's, it was top-notch! This is what I was looking for to try out a recent acquisition of a Sony 3D TV. It's disappointing when I hear great reviews about the 3D on other DVD's only to find they are mediocre. Both of these will not disappoint.

Must Add 3D Blu-ray
A must add to your 3D blu-ray collection. It truly feels like your are diving through the coral reefs as you watch in 3D. Very well done. My favorite sequences in the Imax Under the Sea were: 1) the Potato Cod, it feels like he is right in front of your nose, 2) the sea lion scene at the end is very cool and feels like they coming out of the screen. Very cool and informative with a good amount of out of screen effects.
