Our Oceans

Visually is stunning and a great documentary to watch but I am just not able to like the narration from Barack Obama.... I just doesn't sound exciting at all... More like someone reading the newspaper and trying to make an effort to make it exciting but it simply isn't. I think it was a bad choice even though the name stand out.

English is not my native language so I switched to German and thank God the voice is exciting and nice to listen to. In German 10/10 but in English I just can't listen to the voice without feeling a bit disappointed considering that there are so many great "voices " out there for documentaries , so a 7/10.

I disagree with the people who criticize Barack Obama as narrator. We all need to know these facts about pollution. There is much that is positive but the alarming part must be included.

I thought he was engaged and interesting.

I found the photography absolutely astounding and I learned so much that I didn't know. It left me filled with wonder and awe. I was impressed that we have so much underwater, close-up footage. I learned about fish I never knew existed. And, the adaptive behaviors are fascinating.

It was well put together, narrated, and produced., I wouldn't change a thing. A great watch!

From the unparalleled footage, to the fun and entertaining voiceover from Barack, from the urgent message he conveys to all of us, to the marvellous score, every single element from this docu series is simply fantastic! The revolutionary recording techniques and the exclusive and first ever filmed scenes make it even more precious.

Kudos to Michelle and Barack for producing such a masterpiece. I've never seen such an enchanting and at the same time gripping and urgent docu series about nature before.

I watched it all in one sit, just couldn't and wouldn't even take a break.

Not only should everybody watch it, everybody should live up to the message we're given. It's the eleventh hour....

The filming, the visuals and the amazing animals is all A+, but the lack of dramatic and "pull you in" narration is something to be desired. Someone with a more commanding and attention grabbing voice is needed to make this an all around outstanding series. The current narration is quite boring, but the visual excellence will keep you watching.... I definitely recommend watching, it is really good. Unfortunately, the narration is a 2 star attempt and really drives home how much Attenbrough is missed. Maybe they can somehow get Morgan Freeman to do a new voice narration and bring this from a 6 star production to a 10 star docuseries..

The filmography in "Our Oceans" is downright stunning!! . Absolutely breathtaking shots, though some of it looks like it was combined with artificial intelligence at times. It is sometimes hard to tell what is real and what is not, but overall absolutely amazing. I'm in awe that people and cameras are able to get that close enough. And speaking of cameras- they must have cost a fortune!! I've never seen anything with images that clear!

My biggest issue with this documentary is the narrator. Barack Obama is boring, and the inflections in his voice are all wrong. Was David Attenborough busy on another project? Obama really kinda ruined this film.
