Default Good movie??

Reviews are in - Coral Reef Adventure!

Decent film, but a waste of the IMAX camera - they could have filled that movie with much more glorious footage of healthy reefs.

Instead, as an eco-propaganda tool, it was more to the film makers' benefit to dwell on the predicted demise of the world's reef systems. I strongly suggest they could have done more to promote their cause by showcasing the beauty of the reefs that remain intact. Images like that would mesmerize people, before shocking them with the devastation footage. After a while, it just gets depressing.

My family thought it was a film about how all the coral reefs are dying.

At times the film was moving, but mostly so slanted to their bias and objectives that it was almost unbearable. You had to stop listening and watch for the good parts.
