Comme un poisson dans son récif

Stunning visuals. I watched this with my 9 year old daughter and we both loved it. Loads of cute little creatures 😉. And with a short but clear warning and explanation what us humans are doing to (future) sea life.

Such captivating beauty that was expertly filmed alongside an interesting story following the life of one the most adorable creatures on earth. A great watch for the whole family that teaches the basics about the coral reef food chain along with all of its inhabitants, from microscopic to super sized. It also has a brief moment informing us about how the warning oceans are causing more and more of the coral reefs, asking with its inhabitants, to die. It's sad that another reviewer was upset about this being included. I guess they don't understand the severity of what's truly going on here and that not including this information in a film about life in the coral reef would be pretty ridiculous to say the least. They followed this puffer fish throughout its life... it's home is destroyed and you think they're not going to include it because it hurts your feelings? Get real. Puff is adorable and I highly recommend this film for any science or animal lovers out there.

I'm not sure why this documentary was made. It's not really about a pufferfish named Puff (cute but not very imaginative); nor is it really about corals; though both are featured prominently.

The film is beautiful to look at, no doubt. But there just isn't all that much new information or even interesting information to justify another documentary about global warming.

Best that I can say is that this was a good idea that was not well executed.

A view into a fascinating world with really impressive visuals. Has just the right running time as well. Some genuinely bizarre and scary creatures can be observed in great detail.

The sudden turn to tedious moralism towards the end leaves a sour taste though. Using the identifikcation with and sympathy for one single fish might work as a manipulation technique for children, but is much too blunt for adults. Surely the authors know that there are other factors except human misbehaving that influence the development of reefs.

I would recommend to turn off the movie after the snail chase scene.

Amazing colorful images from the Great Barrier Reef. Beautiful insight in the life of the reef from the eyes of a puffer fish. Hopefully those that see this understand the damage we can inflict on the planet and how serious the global warming is.
