The content of this show is exceptional, matching the standards set by the best nature documentaries. The visuals are stunning, the colors vivid, and a lot of rare scenes captured with exceptional sharpness.
There's some footage shot with the camera apparently attached to the marine wildlife itself, which is an interesting and uncommon technique for mainstream documentaries.
The biggest letdown is the voice narration. This is the first documentary narrated by Barack Obama that I've watched, and I was not impressed. As a public orator giving political speeches, he's obviously very effective and inspirational. But his delivery of this show's narration felt dispassionate. It fails to convey the wonder & magic of the content, and makes the overall experience quite flat.

It could have been a good movie - the plot is a classic anti-hero journey, and the production is quite ambitious. But the way the story plays out is quite predictable. The movie was edited tightly with a lot of jump cuts to prop up the narration but ultimately it's not sufficient. The camera work and dialogs are well done.
