Planet Ocean

Amazing cinematography. An eye opening film full of information on how intricate and balanced nature is. Millions of species have been coexisting in harmony for eons. Nature is full of checks and balances. As the film proves over and over nature does not tolerate excess.

This is an introductory documentary on things related to Oceans on the planet.

"Planet Ocean" has stunning visuals which shows how beautiful Oceans are. The content has much variety, as it includes deep ocean marine life, fishing, coral reefs, marine life migration, weather systems and even shipping of containers across oceans. The scenes of coal reefs are particularly beautiful, and it is a shock to hear that a quarter of the Earth's corals died in the last fifty years. Deep water marine life is stunning as well, as most people would not have the chance to watch those majestic animals swimming in pitch dark waters. I was dumbfounded by the abandoned ships off the coast of Mauritania, and surprised by the seaweed farming in Korea. "Planet Ocean" is an eye opener, and and I hope it helps to raise awareness on the urgent need to protect and conserve the oceans.

It's a very rare film which receives a "10" from me on IMDb. "Planet Ocean" deserves it; this is a visually impressive, well-crafted, timely, and critical piece of film making.

This doco focuses on wide angle shots of huge ocean trawlers and cargo ships, to drive home to the viewer the industrial nature of modern seafood harvesting. After seeing this film, you will understand why our oceans are literally on the brink of collapse. The wealth of ocean riches -which we once assumed was inexhaustible- simply cannot handle modern, industrialized fishing.

The film tells us: "Every day, 4 million ships set out to attack the ocean." It's a mind boggling figure, and one which cannot be ignored.

This is not a joke. This is very real, and in all likelihood, the oceans will be fished out by the time your grandchildren come into this world. But it doesn't have to happen.

Everyone should see "Planet Ocean". It should be required viewing in public schools. We can either be the generation which destroyed the Natural World, or the one which saved it.

Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. Deep, contemplative look at the important issues facing the ocean. I loved this film.

I'm quite amazed to be the third one who write a review about this documentary and it's sad to see this one only gets a 6.7. To me such a documentary is so much more interesting and moving than some kind of stupid brainless CGI flick... anyways.

The visuals are stunning, and the documentary is very interesting although depressing. Since it tells the tale I basically already knew. That is humanity is busy destroying all ecosystems including the oceans. Although of course as correctly stated by the documentary the ocean is not owned by anybody and therefore anyone can exploit (or rampage) it without consequences.

Though the doc. convincingly makes this point there's more than just doom and gloom. Many interesting facts are to be learned, breathtaking visuals.

Anyways don't believe me just see it yourself..
